  2. 1. Computational methods and strategies for geometallurgy

    Author : Pierre-Henri Koch; Jan Rosenkranz; Eric Pirard; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geometallurgy; process simulation; minerals; machine learning; textures; decision-making; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik;

    Abstract : At the interface of geology and mineral processing, geometallurgy is a powerful tool for enhancingresource efficiency. A spatial model that represents the ore body in terms ofmineralogyand physical properties is combined with a process model that describes the concentrationprocess. READ MORE

    Author : Viktor Lishchuk; Bertil Pålsson; Cecilia Lund; Pertti Lamberg; Jennifer Broadhurst; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Additivity; Apatite iron ore; AIO; Block model; Change of support; Classification; Data integration; DT; Feed quality; Geometallurgical program; Geometallurgy; Iron ore; Iron recovery; Leveäniemi; Liberation; Machine learning; Magnetic separation; Malmberget; Mineralogical approach; Mineralogy; Prediction; Proxies; Proxies approach; Sampling; Simulation; Synthetic ore body; Traditional approach; WLIMS; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik;

    Abstract : The risks of starting, operating and closing mining projects have become higher than ever. In order to stay ahead of the competition, mining companies have to manage various risks: technical, environmental, legal, regulatory, political, cyber, financial and social. Some of these can be mitigated with the help of geometallurgy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sulphide mineral flotation : a new insight into oxidation mechanisms

    Author : Alireza Javadi; Jan D. Miller; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mineralteknik; Mineral Processing;

    Abstract : Formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidizing agent stronger than oxygen, by sulphide minerals during grinding was investigated. It was found that pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S), and galena (PbS), which are the most abundant sulphide minerals on Earth, generated H2O2 in pulp liquid during wet grinding in the presence or devoid of dissolved oxygen in water and also when the freshly ground solids are placed in water immediately after dry grinding.

  6. 4. X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) as a potential tool in Geometallurgy

    Author : Pratama Istiadi Guntoro; Yousef Ghorbani; Jan Rosenkranz; Matthew Pankhurst; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; X-ray microcomputed tomography; geometallurgy; automated mineralogy; ore characterization; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik;

    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

  7. 5. Sampling from large flotation cells : An invastigation of spatial distribution

    Author : Lisa Malm; Jan Rosenkranz; Tommy Karlkvist; Anders Sand; Nils-Johan Bolin; Pertti Lamberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flotation; sampling; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik;

    Abstract : The general trend in flotation technology today is towards larger flotation cells, which enables a higher throughput. However, adverse effects such as segregation and reduced froth transport efficiency have also been observed in larger cells. READ MORE
