Abstract:

Normally, a mineral asset cannot be used as it is extracted from nature on their deposits. Therefore, they need to be subjected to some type of processing, aiming their industrial exploitation. The expansion of the needs description makes relevant the science that works with processing, one of them called treatment of ores. The treatment consists of operations applied to mineral assets aimed to modifying the particle size, the relative concentration of the types of minerals present or shape, without, however, modifying the physical or chemical identity of the minerals. As a technique of the subject, students of the technical course in Mining from 'Escola Estadual Padre Jeronimo Lauwen' in the city of Santa Luzia, Paraiba, undertook a work of building rustic ore processing unit models that represented companies and simulated the operation of industrial plants. The methodology allowed the students to understand an ore processing unit operation. The educational practice used allowed the students to better comprehend not only the operation and the equipment used in a processing unit, but also the technical importance of each element. The relationship between the creative team was also improved on the basis of the common goal. <br />KEYWORDS: Model; Treatment of ores; Education
