Mineral Processing Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech second year second sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Mineral Processing B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) second year second sem is as follows.
B.Tech. II Year II Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code: MM402ES 4/1/0/4
Course Objectives: The prime objective of this course is to build the solid foundation on principals and equipment of various mineral beneficiation procedures that would facilitate metal extraction. It also focuses on mathematical derivations that are associated with concentration processes.
Course Outcome: The student will be able to understand the concentration process for a particular mineral. He will also have complete understanding on principles, constructions, and working of equipment for concentration and classification.
