1. Missing "it." There should also be an "and" in front of "put." It could be that the writer was thinking all the way ahead to "use a filter" (Workmen grind..., put..., and use....), but had to close the clause before getting to the third member of the series.

2. "in which"

3. Gerundive results in modification error? It should be "Put through several other processes." Note also the misplaced comma after "it." This error might have been caused by the mental confusion resulting from "Putting."

4. S/V/PN problem caused by not understanding the word "luster"?

5. Is the inclusion of "it" a reflection of weak ability to subordinate clauses? In this type of subordination, the subordinate conjunction ("which") also functions as the direct object of the verb ("which workmen separate"). This writer has embedded the "which," but not deleted the "it."
