Sheet Mica Beneficiation: Breakage, Screening & Optical Sort (2D)

2D particle-based mica beneficiation model: crusher breakage follows a t10 comminution-energy relationship where mica's basal cleavage makes it fracture far more readily than the feldspar/quartz gangue, a vibrating screen partitions particles by their real size against the mesh aperture, and an optical sorter routes the undersize stream by each particle's own simulated reflectivity. Not a scripted flow diagram.

This 2D companion swaps the 3D version's decorative process-flow diagram for a real particle-scale model of sheet mica beneficiation. Every rock particle carries its own size and mineral type; a crusher breaks it according to a JKMRC-style t10 comminution-energy relationship, in which mica's near-perfect basal cleavage gives it a far lower fracture energy than the feldspar/quartz gangue — the same reason real mica plants use gentle, low-energy crushing to liberate large intact flakes instead of pulverizing the ore. A vibrating screen then partitions the crushed stream against a real mesh-aperture size cutoff, and the undersize fraction passes through an optical sorter that accepts or rejects each particle from its own simulated reflectivity against your sensitivity threshold — raising sensitivity trades recovery for purity along the true separation curve, not a fixed accuracy number.
