Theory teaching
The role and place of mineral processing in the valorization of mineral raw materials. Economic base. Balances of metals and minerals. Characteristics of minerals of importance for the preparation of mineral processing: density, hardness, electrical conductivity, magnetism, surface characteristics, etc. Influences on the process of preparation of mineral raw materials: chemical and mineral composition, structural texture characteristics, changes in minerals. Tests in the mineral processing during the research of deposits and the necessary data obtained by the expert on the preparation of mineral resources from the geologist. Classification of the process of mineral processing: crushing, and grading, magnetic concentration, electrical concentration, gravity concentration, flotation concentration, special concentration methods. Basic machines and devices that are used in the function of the process. Drain the product of the concentration.

Practical teaching
Sampling, metal and mineral balances, technological process schemes. Crushing, and grading, magnetic concentration, gravity concentration, flotation concentration and drainage of the products of concentration.
