Why Convert a CCD Gold Circuit to CIL- Pro & Cons
Table of ContentsOriginal CCD PlantCIL PlantAdvantages of CIL over CCD and CIP Is a CCD gold circuit better than a CIL or CIP plant? Why convert? Any good reasons? The Cortez staff was responsible for conceptual design, equipment procurement and equipment installation, construction management and supervision for the mill conversion project. Structural design and engineering for the building additions were
Effect of Rod Mill Feed Sizing on Grinding Performance
There is no reported evidence that feed size has any effect on rod mill power draw. Because the solids in the rod mill are known to appreciably expand the mill charge (as observed in the charge level before and after grinding out the mill), there would likely be a tendency for power draw to be lower with coarser feeds and
SAG Mill Feed Particle Size Analyser
We describe here one of the very first pioneering SAG Mill Feed Particle Size Analysers: A set of preliminary experiments was carried out in order to assess the hardware-software’s behaviour. Static ore was used to obtain the right sequence of image processing algorithms. The camera was installed 3 mts away from the commercial sizer over the feed conveyor of the

Carbon Adsorption of Silver from Acidified Thiourea Solutions
Carbon adsorption was considered as the most adequate method for recovery of silver from thiourea leach solutions. For this reason it was decided to examine the characteristics of adsorption of silver on activated carbon. Coconut hard shell activated carbon was used for this study. Experimental The carbon, coconut hard shell, was pulverized and dry seived into monosized fractions in the

Recover Silver & Gallium with Acidified Thiourea Solutions
Table of Contents ExperimentalResults The recovery of silver and gallium from flue dust with acidified thiourea solutions was examined. The studied parameters were temperature, particle size, thiourea concentration, acid concentration, and the presence of oxidants. The study of the extraction of these two metals was undertaken in sulfuric acid medium. Silver dissolution was dependent on all examined parameters, whereas gallium extraction

Passive Acid Mine Drainage Water Treatment
Table of ContentsKinetics of Contaminant Removal ProcessesLong-Term PerformanceContinually Evolving Passive Technologies Summary and Conclusions The treatment of contaminated coal mine drainage requires the precipitation of metal contaminants and the neutralization of acidity. In conventional treatment systems, distinctions between these two treatment objectives are blurred by additions of highly basic chemicals that simultaneously cause the rapid precipitation of metal contaminants and

Fine Coal Cleaning Centrifugal Washing
Table of ContentsFalcon ConcentratorTest Samples The most common method used for cleaning the fine fraction in today’s coal preparation plants is froth flotation. Past research and practice has found that froth flotation achieves excellent separation efficiencies for fine coals having only a small fraction of middling particles. However, its efficiency decreases sharply as the concentration of middling particles increases due
Coagula Size Measurement by On-Line Particle Size Analyzer
The knowledge of aggregate size under various chemical and hydrodynamic conditions is very important for selective agglomeration, flotation and water clarification processes. Traditionally, aggregate size measurements are conducted using an ex-situ technique or in a diluted suspension. In either case, the measurement occurs in an environment that does not resemble the actual conditions under which the aggregates are formed. Experimental
Is Oleic Acid Or Oleoyl Sarcosine more Selective in the Flotation of Salt Type Minerals
Oleic acid has been almost invariably used in the flotation of siliceous fluorite ores. The performance of oleic acid, however, deteriotates with carbonaceous fluorite ores. Oleoyl sarcosine developed recently has been found to produce results superior over oleic acid with ores containing high calcite contents. While the mechanism of oleate adsorption is usually considered as chemisorption involving calcium oleate formation
Pyrite Oxidation Inhibition
The results of studies to ameliorate acid mine drainage by retarding the rate of oxidation of pyrite at source are discussed. In the transpassive region, pyrite oxidizes by reactive dissolution, mass transfer through the product layer and diffusion in the bulk solution. One can decrease the rate of pyrite oxidation by inhibiting either oxidation reactions or cathodic reactions. The extension

On Line Coarse Particle Size Measurement Analysis
The most serious problem for on-line coarse particle size measurement from a conveyor belt by image analysis is the overlap phenomenon that occurs between adjacent particles. In order to achieve image separation, three methods have been considered for the analysis of projected particle images obtained from overlapped onyx stone and copper ore particle beds of particle size which ranged from 12.7
