Abstract

Industrial systems and daily life in Japan are shifting to a society based on recycling to reduce energy and resource consumption. To establish a society based on recycling urban resource recovery centers (mines) are important as places to reduce waste volumes, reusing and recycling valuable materials with application of mineral processing technology. The authors have reviewed applications of mineral processing in urban mines, and recent developments in common separation methods, magnetic separation, gravity separation, flotation, and agglomeration in liquid.
