Mineral processing technologies are being used in the environmental arena for remediation and secondary recovery. Comminution and/or scrubbing for liberation, coupled with separation of the liberated particles, is known as sod washing. Other metallurgical unit operations have found application in remediation and recycling: size classification, gravity concentration, flotation, magnetic, eddy current and electromagnetic separation, solid/liquid separation, and solvent extraction. This paper presents specific examples of the use of these technologies to clean up contaminated soils and plant residues.
