Beach sand mainly comprises rutile, tantalite, magnetite, xenotime, gold ore, iron ore, diamond, quartz sand, coal, and other minerals. The beach sand process is screening the impurities, following separating by gravity separation, magnetic separation, and drying. Finally, use magnetic separation + electric separation to select each required mineral.
