Abstract

The theoretical and experimental studies resulted in establishing regularities in the distribution of secondary minerals and their
associations in metasomatically altered diamond-bearing kimberlites and products of their processing.
Based on integrated mineralogical research, it was found out that the composition of the altered kimberlites and the fine-dispersed
clayey slurries formed during their processing constituted the basis of hydrophilic formations on the surface of diamond crystals not
recovered by the methods of grease and froth separation. Particles of these minerals concentrate in fine-dispersed slurry products
of kimberlite ore processing, interact with the crystal surface, reduce their hydrophobic properties and, accordingly, recovery in
processes of grease and froth separations into concentrates.
