Abstract: Starting from the intrinsic properties of microfine ilmenite, this paper provides a detailed overview of the current research status and advancements in the beneficiation process of microfine ilmenite, discussing the primary challenges these properties pose during beneficiation. The review further summarizes existing methods and equipment for pre-concentration and separation of microfine ilmenite, while addressing current issues and challenges in the field. Additionally, several beneficiation technologies and equipment used for other microfine minerals are introduced, providing references for their potential application in microfine ilmenite processing.
