This volume is based on the proceedings of the "NATO- Advanced study
Institute on Mineral Processing Design" held in Bursa-Turkey on August
24-31, 1984. The institute was organized by Professor B. Yarar of the
Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado, 80401, USA, Professor G.
Ozbayoghu and Professor Z. M. Dogan of METU-Ankara, Turkey, who was the
director. The purpose of the institute was to provide an international
forum on the subject and update the information available. Participants
were from Turkey, England, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, and
the USA. Besides authors contributing to this volume, presentations were
also made by Drs. Yarar, Raghavan, Schurger, and Mr. Kelland. Many
assistants and colleagues helped. They are gratefully acknowledged.
Acknowledgment is also owed to Drs. Ek, de Kuyper, and Tolun. Dr.

overall organization and hosting of many international guests. We owe
them special thanks. NATO, Scientific Affairs Division, is gratefully
acknowledged for the grant which made this activity possible. Z. M.

CANMET, 555 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, KIA OGI ABSTRACT Mineralogy
applied to ore dressing is a reliable guide for designing and operating
an efficient concentrator. A procedure for conductiqg mineralogical
studies in conjunction with ore dressing was, therefore, developed. The
procedure includes characterizing the ore and analysing the mill
products.
