Like all the reagents, depressants are only selective and effective within limited volume range. Too little reagent and the unwanted mineral will begin to float, too much reagent and the wanted mineral will begin to be depressed. The simplest modifiers are pH control chemicals. The surface chemistry of most minerals is affected by the pH.

The first step in turning ore into useful minerals starts with making the ore smaller by crushing and grinding it under high pressure. Machines called jaw crushers and gyratory crushers are super important for breaking the ore into smaller bits. These big, strong machines squish the ore to make it smaller.
