washery
Ore processing plant
A washery is an industrial facility where raw materials—typically coal or ore—are cleaned and processed.
The washing removes impurities like rock, clay, and sulfur before the material is shipped or used: The coal travels from the mine to the washery before reaching the power plant.
The term is most common in mining contexts.
