The roughing time for processing the ore in the concentrator is about ten minutes while the ore contains a large amount of carbonaceous gangue and the divalent sulfur ions disappear quickly in the slurry Copper ore beneficiation plant Below is a typical copper ore beneficiation plant in South Africa It mainly uses the copper lead bulk
Copper and critical metals production from porphyry ores and E wastes A review of resource availability processing/recycling challenges socio environmental aspects and sustainability issues Trc is the treatment change and H is the number of hours per year of plant operation when the mass flows are in tons per hour Synthesis
The concept of such polymetallic integrated plant is shown in Figure 1 and was largely inspired by Alvear et al [8] who recently reviewed existing polymetallic plants The challenges of
The diagram below represents the balance of a copper concentrator plant with the conventional tailings technology It is observed that % of consumption corresponds to losses that occur in the tailings dam The water loss in the concentrate corresponding to the moisture of the product is only %
1 Over recent years incremental throughput projects have been completed at the Concentrator allowing a greater volume of material to be processed in a 24 hour period The downside to this is that the grind size of material sent to the Flotation plant has also increased leading to lower recovery levels of copper bearing mineral within the ore
The Phase 1 concentrator plant reached commercial production in July 2021 approximately two months after the start of hot commissioning and reached design ore throughput in August 2021 Mark Farren Kamoa Copper s CEO commented We now have successfully built the first two concentrator plants ahead of schedule and on budget
