Mica Mineral Processing
Mica ores are usually found in pegmatites associated with quartz, feldspar, tourmaline, apatite, spodumene, beryl, kaolinite, and limonite minerals. Scrap and flake mica used to produce ground mica is usually recovered using crushing, screening, and gravity methods. When flotation is used, the mica ore must be deslimed, typically at 100 mesh.
