  1. 1. Explorative Scenarios for Future Lithium Supplies and Demand

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Aksel Rahman; [2023]
    Keywords : lithium mining; lithium future production; Gompertz models; Richards models; Logistic models;

    Abstract : Because of its specific qualities, lithium is a key element for making lithium-ion batteries, which is of great relevance since the battery sector is the fastest growing user of lithium to date and with the transition towards a fully electrified transportation sector due to the current climate agenda and an even bigger increase in demand for lithium is anticipated for the coming decades. The two main sources for lithium to date are mines and brines, with brine water composing around 87 % of the world’s lithium reserves in terms of contained lithium. READ MORE

  3. 2. Particle tracking in geometallurgical testing for Leveäniemi Iron ore, Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

    Author : Efraín Cárdenas; [2017]
    Keywords : Geometallurgy; Process mineralogy; Particle tracking; Leveäniemi; Mass balance; Iron ore; HSC;

    Abstract : In a particle based geometallurgical model, the behavior of the particles can be used for forecast the products and quantify the performance of the different ore types within a deposit. The particle tracking is an algorithm developed by Lamberg and Vianna 2007 whose aim is to balance the liberation data in a mineral processing circuit composed by several processing units. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Geometallurgical Forecast Modelfor Predicting Concentrate Quality in WLIMS Process for Leveäniemi Ore

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

    Author : Kartikay Singh; [2017]
    Keywords : Mineral processing; geometallurgy; modelling; Davis Tube; WLIMS; LKAB; Leveäniemi;

    Abstract : Previous studies have suggested that Davis tube (DT) experiment can used to study wet low intensitymagnetic separation (WLIMS) for magnetic iron ores. But DT process has never been used to mapWLIMS process, specifically in a geometallurgical framework. READ MORE

  5. 4. Controversial Materials : Ethical issues in the production of mineral based raw materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Author : Emma Buratovic; Dervis Cocalic; Kasper Eliasson; Matilda Danestig; Linus Everlid; [2017]
