Encontrei estes termos numa publicação do Diário da República sobre o processamento de diamantes:
“O edifício da estação de escolha compreenderá:
classificação
concentração por raios X
recuperação por gordura. (mesas de picagem)
armazeangem”
Das pesquisas extensivas que já fiz para “picagem” encontrei: “degrit, desand, scabbing (tables)”, mas não sei se algum destes serve.
Sobre ‘gordura’ não sei de devo usar “grease” ou mesmo “fat”.
Agradecia uma ajuda com estes termos.

picking and greasing
For me this is the best version taking into account the real mining situation...of diamonds: choosing by means of a greasy substance. It's just a guess, but I would really think of it.

Comment: "Colega Henrique Magalhaes,
Muito agredecido pelas traduções dos termos que acho apropriadas e irei usar.

piercing/grease
Fico com o termo "piercing", segundo a definição:
de pico ou do Célt. pic
v. tr.,
ferir ou furar com objeto pontiagudo;
abrir buracos em;
dar picadas em;
Isso seria o verbo "to pierce".

Scraping [not scrapping] and greasing
Once a mining operation yields ore, the diamonds must be sorted from the other materials. This process relies primarily on diamond's high density. An old but effective method is to use a washing pan, which forces heavy minerals like diamond to the bottom and waste to the top. Cones and cyclones use swirling heavy fluids mixed with crushed ore to achieve density separations. With 99 percent of the waste in the ore removed, further separations may use either a grease table or an x-ray separator. Final separation and sorting is done by eye.
Crushed ore is mixed with a muddy water suspension, called puddle, and all is stirred by angled rotating blades in the circular washing pan. Heavier minerals settle to the bottom and are pushed toward an exit point, while lighter waste rises to the top and overflows as a separate stream of material.
A working grease table at Longlands, Cape Province, South Africa. The surface of diamond is highly unusual in that it resists being wetted by water but sticks readily to grease. Here, wet gravel washes across 3 inclined surfaces covered with beeswax and paraffin. Diamonds stick to the grease while wetted waste minerals flow past. The operator routinely scrapes the material that adheres to the table into a grease pot, using a trowel. The grease in the pot is melted and the diamonds are removed in a strainer. More automated systems use a rotating grease belt and scraper.
Cuidado. você provalvelmente encontrou SCRAPING não scrapping..scrapping quer dizer jogar fora...scrape é limpar por arrastre...[?]
