Ore dressing recovery rate refers to the percentage of the amount of metals or useful components in the concentrate to the amount of metals in the raw ore.

This is an important mineral processing indicator, reflecting the degree of metal recovery during the mineral processing process, the level of mineral processing technology and the quality of mineral processing work. For example, if the copper grade in the raw ore of a copper sulfide mine is 0.9% and the copper grade in the concentrate is 18.0%, if the weight of the raw ore processed every day and night is 400t, the weight of the concentrate is 15t, and the actual recovery rate = × 100% = 75 %.

In addition, the mineral processing recovery rate is also affected by various factors such as the mineral processing process and technical level.
