  1. 6. Evaluating rougher-scavenger flotation circuits using geometallurgical particle-based approach

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Luis Enrique Huaman Mamani; [2020]
    Keywords : Particle tracking; Flotation; Process mineralogy; Mineral liberation; Mass balance; Reconciliation;

    Abstract : The major challenges currently facing the mining industry are related to the growing trend to deal with deeper ore bodies and consequently increasing complex ores. This has led to the development of new approaches to tackle incoming issues by integrating different parts of the value chain in order to offer appropriate solutions. READ MORE

  3. 7. Geochemical and Mineralogical Comparison of XRT-XRF Scanning Technology Versus Traditional Analysis of Drill Core from the Assarel Porphyry Copper-Gold Deposit (Panagyurishte District, Bulgaria)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Diego Delgado Yanez; [2020]
    Keywords : Assarel porphyry copper; GeoCore X10; Sustainable mining; XRT XRF; mineral characterization; geochemical characterization; X-MINE Project;

    Abstract : Ongoing, environmental and economic matters related to mining sustainability and its impacts are leading to the search for new ways to asses and extract commodities more efficiently. A key aspect in the shift to more sustainable mining is the rapid, digital characterization of orebody mineralogy and geochemistry to help optimize the extractive process. READ MORE

  4. 8. Do Clay Minerals affect the thickener operationin Chuquicamata mine, Calama, Chile?

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Chris Soto; [2020]
    Keywords : Mine; clay minerals; mineral processing;

    Abstract : Chuquicamata mine mineralogy has been studied performing both X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-RayFluorescence (XRF) to determine whether there is any influence in the thickener operations. Thetargeted minerals were the clay group because of their detrimental effect on mining operations asmodify the rheology of the suspensions. READ MORE

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

    Author : Juan Sebastian Guiral Vega; [2018]
    Keywords : Lithium; Image Analysis; Spodumene; Pegmatite; Hyperspectral; Geometallurgy; Machine learning; Mineralogy; characterization; Mineral mapping; Texture; Scanning electron microscopy; SEM; Mineral Processing; Kaustinen; Keliber; Lithium deposit; Geometalurgia; procesamiento mineral; litio; espodumena; pegmatita; machine learning; procesamiento mineral;

    Abstract : Lithium represents one of the strategic elements for the rest of the 21st century due to its increasing demand in technological applications. Therefore, new efforts should be focused on the optimization of mineral characterization processes, which link the ore properties with its behaviour during downstream processes. READ MORE

  6. 10. Potential Use of Oxygen Depleted Air In Nickel Sulphide Flotation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

    Author : Bianca Henriques Leal Andrade; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Copper-nickel low grade ore deposits normally have complex mineralogy and process behaviour. Implementing an optimum process that is able to recover all the valuable minerals efficiently is challenging. One concentration strategy in mineral processing of copper-nickel sulphide ores is stage-wise flotation. READ MORE
