Feasibility of using tap water instead of deionized water in the high-voltage pulse breakage process of magnetite quartzite

Key Points

• Using tap water could reduce operational costs significantly in the pulse breakage process.
• Cost analysis shows a potential reduction of up to 30% by substituting deionized water with tap water.
• Assessment using a comparative approach on the high-voltage pulse breakage process demonstrates viable alternatives.
• Wider implementation in industrial settings may enhance efficiency and lower expenses for mineral processing.
