1. 1. PGE Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Dunite, Chromitite, and Laterite Samples from the Acoje Ophiolite Block, Philippines

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

   Author : Michelle Dossey; [2023]
   Keywords : PGM; PGE; laterite; limonite; chromitite; dunite; platinum group minerals; platinum group elements; Acoje; Philippines;

   Abstract : Ni-laterites have the potential to become unconventional ore deposits for platinum group elements (PGE). This study was conducted to determine enrichment trends of PGE as a result of the Ni-laterization process. READ MORE

3. 2. Investigating the effect of grinding method on ore beneficiation behaviour

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

   Author : Mellisa Tanaka Mundida; [2023]
   Keywords : flotation; grinding; liberation; chalcopyrite; beneficiation; grinding method; selectivity index; VRM; Aitik ore; rodmill; particle shape;

   Abstract : Commodity projection studies anticipate an exponential increase in copper demand and decreasein mill grade of deposits currently exploited globally. Most of this demand is driven by theindispensable use of copper in electrification and currently, the growing demand in the contextof the green transition. READ MORE

4. 3. Mineralogical characterization of gold in the Aurora ore zone in the Björkdal gold mine, northern Sweden – implications for metal recovery

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

   Author : Krister Åström; [2022]
   Keywords : geology; Björkdal gold deposit; Skellefte district; gold; Au; Aurora ore zone; metal recovery; cold mounting; SEM; QEMSCAN; mineral association; grain size;

   Abstract : The Aurora zone is an ore zone which was recently discovered in the Björkdal gold mine, northern Sweden, and it has been the main focus of mining and exploration activities for the past few years (Pressacco et al., 2020). The purpose of this project is to determine how gold occurs in the Aurora zone. READ MORE

5. 4. A process mineralogy study of grinding characteristics for the polymetallic orebody, Lappberget Garpenberg

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

   Author : Gustav Lood Stark; [2021]
   Keywords : Automated mineralogy; autogenous milling; grinding characteristics; mineral characterization; process mineralogy geometallurgy; blending strategies; energy consumption; throughput; scanning electron microscope SEM ;

   Abstract : Most of the high-grade ores have been depleted globally, thus the effective processing of the low-grade and complex ores require a comprehensive mineral characterization through the process mineralogy/ geometallurgical approaches. 30-70 % of the total energy consumption in mining comes from the comminution step in mineral processing.

6. 5. A Geometallurgical Approach Towards the Correlation Between Rock Type Mineralogy and Grindability: A case study in Aitik mine, Sweden

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

   Author : Raoul Schmitt; [2021]
   Keywords : Geometallurgy; autogenous grinding; process mineralogy; grindability test; abrasion breakage; automated mineralogy;

   Abstract : Aitik is a large copper porphyry type deposit located in northern Sweden, currently exploited at an annual rate of approximately 45Mt. The ore's exceptionally low head grade of 0.22 % Cu and varying degrees of hardness across the entire deposit pose challenges to the two fully autogenous grinding lines, each of which comprises a 22.
