Title Of Article :
The Preparation and Enrichment of Pumice Ore
Abstract :
Recently, pumice is used in over fifty industries from coarse to fine‐grain size. The utilization of pumice in other countries is not new. Turkey has become largest manufacturer in the World due to the decreasing reserves and increasing demands. Thus, the added value of pumice for Turkey is quite new. The use of pumice has become widespread owing to the low production cost and the ease of production processes. Moreover, it can be easily enriched with gravity method due to porous and light structure of pumice. In this study, processing and enrichment methods are presented with previous researches to display the quality increase in the pumice ore.
