“…Previous studies already show that microwave treatment is a sufficient pre-treatment method for various minerals. Microwave irradiation pretreatment was called a new type of clean energy for coals (Ma et al, 2020), increasing desulfurization of coal after adding magnetite enhanced magnetic separation of FeS2 (Uslu ve Atalay, 2004), grindability of high-ash coals (Sahoo et al, 2011), oxidized coal flotation (Xia et al, 2013), microwave-heated effects on phase transformation (Yang et al, 2016), preg-robbing (Wei Sung et al, 2020, magnetic separation of Fe and Ti (Kim et al, 2019), liberation of oolitic iron ore (Qin, et al, 2022), phase transformations of ilmenite ore (Myslyvchenko, et al 2022), Cr recovery (Peng et al, 2020), As removal (Ma et al 2010), Cu recovery (Kingman et al, 2004), Mn ore (Li et al, 2020), the roasting of flash flotation concentrate (Amankwah and Ofori, 2020). The attention of researchers is primarily concentrated on liberation of coal and separation of pyrite, although a few processes have focus on refractory gold and gold tailings.…”
