| High-tension separation | Mining | In mineral processing, the use of high-voltage direct current at between 18,000 V and 80,000 V to charge small particles of dry material as they fall through its field (emanating as a spray or a point discharge). These are then sorted into relatively charge-retaining and charge-losing minerals in accordance with their conducting power. Also called electrostatic separation. (references) | |
