Classification of manufacturing processes

I found this neat list of manufacturing processes in the book “Extraterrestrial Materials Processing and Construction”. I figured I’d post it because it might be useful at some point. I’ll also be adding to it as I find stuff.

• Particle separation processes (to produce richer feedstock from raw materials)
  • Magnetic
  • Electrostatic
  • Sieving
  • Crushing
  • Vibration
• Volatile recovery processes
  • Heating
  • Melting
  • Oxidizing conditions
  • Reducing conditions
• Chemical processes to extract resources from mineral compounds
  • HF acid leach
  • Ammonium salt fusion
  • Mixed acid leach
