Abstract

A method for characterizing the structure of copper-zinc sulfide ores by means of fractal dimensionality is presented. Fractal dimensionality allows to quantify the complexity of mineral grain boundaries in ore. This information can be the basis for predicting the disintegration of ores during concentration. The material for the research was polished thin sections of copper-zinc ores from the Alexandrinsky deposit (Ural). Measurements of fractal dimensionality were carried out by the step method on a personal computer using the programs Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and FractShop. This method is used for sulfide ores for the first time.
