  2. 1. Reprocessing historical tailings for possible remediation and recovery of critical metals and minerals : The Yxsjöberg case

    Author : Jane Mwaba Mulenshi; Jan Rosenkranz; Saeed Chehreh Chelgani; Urs Peuker; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mining waste; Historical tailings; Conceptual framework; Critical raw materials; Tungsten; Scheelite; Characterization; Mineral liberation analysis; Beneficiation; Reprocessing; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik; Centrumbildning - Centrum för avancerad gruvteknik och metallurgi CAMM ; Centre - Centre for Advanced Mining Metallurgy CAMM ;

    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.

  4. 2. Efficient modeling and control of crushing processes in minerals processing

    Author : Marcus Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HPGR; Comminution; Jaw crusher; Process control; Modeling; Dynamic modeling; Minerals processing;

    Abstract : Modeling and simulation is a tool to explore and increase the understanding of a phenomenon. This thesis focuses on developing models of crushers and equipment used in the mining industry. Specifically, the focus is on a branch of modeling called time dynamic modeling which is a model that gives an output as a function of time. READ MORE

    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

  6. 4. DEM Modelling and Simulation of Cone Crushers and High Pressure Grinding Rolls

    Author : Johannes Quist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Discrete Element Method; Modelling; HPGR; Comminution; DEM; Simulation; Crushing; Minerals Processing; Cone Crusher;

    Abstract : The comminution of rock and ore materials consumes ~1.5-1.8 % of the total energy production in mining intensive countries (Tromans, 2008). Several research findings show that there are ways of utilizing compressive breakage modes that are more energy efficient compared to conventional grinding circuits based on large inefficient tumbling mills.

    Abstract : For an efficient mining operation, it is essential to have as much information as possible aboutthe ore to be excavated and the rock masses surrounding the ore. Geological information andthe content and distribution of extractable minerals, are central concerns for long term mineplanning. READ MORE
