Description

Tin concentrate is a processed form of tin ore, primarily derived from the mineral cassiterite (SnO2), that has been enriched to contain a higher percentage of tin, typically 70-75% metal, for use in smelting. It is obtained through mining and concentrating processes involving crushing, screening, and separation techniques like jigging or shaking tables, often employing gravity separation or flotation.
