grind the ore What controls this is the liberation characteristics of the ore being treated Obviously the coarser the float the more savings would be possible A huge benefit of floating coarser materials is cost savings One of the most significant ways coarse flota tion saves money is by reducing or eliminating the need to grind or
Consumption varies with ore particle size distribution and specific gravity Most water is recovered easily in downstream dewatering process due to high sedimentation rate of coarse particles Feed Particle Size The HydroFloat is used commercially for flotation of particles up to 4 mm potash For copper sulfide applications typical feed size
Once the higher ore grade is selected it needs to be ground The average grind size of copper ranges from 50 microns around the same size as a grain of talcum powder to about 200 microns A coarser grind is achievable in the milling circuit with a primary grind of 300 microns explains Yacoub
The more marginal liberation improvements for Ore 1 appear to correlate with the less pronounced comminution benefits and perhaps also because Ore 1 is more highly liberated than Ore 2 overall at the grind sizes tested Ore 2 had an approximate four fold higher pyrite content than Ore 1 which would likely have aided in microwave induced
Testwork for assessing coarser grind of 91% for copper and 83% for gold at 250 µm Coarse ore flotation may offer numerous benefits for Kharmagtai including Study uplift scenario using
Marion et al 2016 reported a reduction in Bond Work Index of 22% in microwave treated copper ore in a kW multimodal microwave oven GHz for 60 s Batchelor et al 2016 reported a 1% increase in copper recovery and a 50 60 μm increase in grind size or an approximate % increase in liberation at an equivalent grind size
Highlights Testwork for assessing coarser grind options P80 grind sizes ranging between 150 to 450 microns µm for Kharmagtai sulphide mineralisation using HydroFloat achieved compelling results Up to 94% copper and 92% gold recovered in the HydroFloat stage;; Enabling a peak coarse reject of % by mass at 450µm; and; Rougher
1 Grind bulk silver rich gold ore to a finer size by using a ball mill 2 Leach the flotation tailings 3 Use cyanidation to extract gold and silver 3 Iron oxide copper gold ore Properties of iron oxide copper gold ore Iron oxide copper gold ore refers to the symbiosis of copper ore and gold ore in gold ore in some form
This is delivered by the ability of P29 to recover coarse particles from the grind circuit circulating load at traditional flotation recoveries unlocking energy in the grind circuit that can be utilised for increased throughput and/or reduced grind size thus reducing the grind specific energy and carbon footprint of a ton of metal produced
analysis of copper recovery for the rougher cells revealed the significant effect of the stage addition of chemical reagents on recovery improvement of coarse particles GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
A mineralogy characterisation technique for copper ore in flotation pulp using deep learning machine vision with optical microscopy For the coarse samples DL instance segmentation is used as the boundaries and minerals are easier to distinguish and label Then a grind calibration curve was conducted for the rod mill to determine the
COARSE ORE STORAGE—The washed ore is distributed by means of a conveyor and tripper to an uncovered ground bin having a live capacity of 18 000 tons Ore is withdrawn through ball and chain control gates to a hopper feeding the conveyor system to the crushing plant The other ball mills grind washed ore from the Nchanga West underground
This paper investigates the change in liberation and flotation performance on a commercially exploited porphyry copper ore at the nominal plant grind size and a coarser grind size at the coarse end of the normal flotation range after high power density microwave treatment The relationship with mineralogical textural features is also elucidated
Anglo American is exploring whether Quellaveco could utilize Coarse Particle Recovery CPR technology The technology s benefits are twofold 1 CPR allows the mine to float coarser ore particles times larger in size reducing the energy needed to grind the ore to extract the copper and 2 it drains and reuses the water from the
E = 100 minus % true undersize in the coarse product 12 Measure Tonnage by Water Ratio Pulp Dilution or Addition of a Chemical Substance An example of the last is a lead copper zinc ore containing also gold and silver from which are to be produced 1 a lead concentrate 2 a copper concentrate and 3 a zinc concentrate
Copper Ore comes in two forms in Guild Wars 2 either from Copper Ore nodes across maps or Rich Copper Veins Copper Ore needs to be mined with at least a Copper Mining Pick and gives one to three
It is well known that particle size plays a critical role for the froth flotation especially for flotation separation between two or more minerals [4 5] Grinding is necessary to achieve one mineral liberates from other minerals as a result fine grinding of coarse grained minerals is of interest to the mineral processing plant for its higher energy consumption and
The fines would become depleted of leachable copper minerals and copper leaching would grind to a halt The distribution of copper in the ore bed would be heavily skewed towards the coarse sizes and would remain so In reality however that does not happen This study showed that during leaching the number of coarse particles
Pre Concentration By maintaining high value mineral recoveries at coarse grind sizes the NovaCell can be used in wet pre concentration duties The objectives are to lower ore cut off grades reduce carbon The NovaCell technology has produced high recoveries at coarse grind sizes for coal copper lithium and potash ore bodies
This study investigated the leaching of coarse sized copper sulphide ore with top sizes ranging from 150 to 250 mm The simulated run of mine ore sizes were leached for more than six months The fines would become depleted of leachable copper minerals and copper leaching would grind to a halt The distribution of copper in the ore bed
Kansanshi is a copper and gold mine located in the Northwestern Province of Zambia with an annual production in the region of 250 000 t of copper and 160 000 ounces of gold Ore mined from the epigenetic vein hosted deposit is classified into three ore types based on the extent of oxidation and supergene enrichment
Obtaining high recovery in coarse particle size fractions has been always under investigation in recent years In the present study stage addition of chemical reagents is used to improve copper
