1. X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) as a potential tool in Geometallurgy
Abstract : In recent years, automated mineralogy has become an essential tool in geometallurgy. Automated mineralogical tools allow the acquisition of mineralogical and liberation data of ore particles in a sample. These particle data can then be used further for particle-based mineral processing simulation in the context of geometallurgy. READ MORE

2. Geometallurgical study of historical tailings from the Yxsjöberg tungsten mine in Sweden : Characterization and reprocessing options
Abstract : Tungsten (W) is listed among the European Union (EU) critical raw materials (CRMs) for its supply risk and economic importance. Primarily, tungsten is produced from scheelite and wolframite mineral ores with 0.08-1.5% tungsten trioxide (WO3) grade. READ MORE

3. Development of a geometallurgical framework for iron ores - A mineralogical approach to particle-based modeling
Abstract : The demands for efficient utilization of ore bodies and proper risk management in the mining industry have resulted in a new cross-disciplinary subject called geometallurgy. Geometallurgy connects geological, mineral processing and subsequent downstream processing information together to provide a comprehensive model to be used in production planning and management.

4. Particle generation for geometallurgical process modeling
Abstract : A geometallurgical model is the combination of a spatial model representing an ore deposit and a process model representing the comminution and concentration steps in beneficiation. The process model itself usually consists of several unit models. READ MORE

5. Reprocessing historical tailings for possible remediation and recovery of critical metals and minerals : The Yxsjöberg case
Abstract : With increasing consumption of primary mineral resources, the generation of mining wastes has also increased thus requiring the mining industry to address the growing environmental concerns. Waste rock and tailings are potential secondary sources of critical raw materials currently in short supply in the European Union, but also a source for environmental issues like acid mine drainage.
