Dense Medium Separator 1 ,processes the cser fraction of (-)28m to +6mm from the reduction section.Average feed
rate is 100tph .Recovers the target lithium bearing minerals (Petalite and Spodumene) by separating from the
unwanted minerals through exploiting differences in SG.

(-)28mm lepidolite rich feed is fed into the crushing circuit of the ta plant at a target feed rate of 10tph.-850micron feed
size rate is pumped into the concentrating spirals and ultimately shaking tables.A Tanatlite concentrate of target 25% is
recovered from the shacking tables
