Notebaart and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large variety of ore beneficiation techniques exists. Flowsheets in operating plants range from very simple with relatively few processing steps to highly complex, involving many stages of mineral separation and extraction of valuable components by hydro- or pyrometallurgical processes. Each ore is different and requires separate flowsheet development. Although standard flowsheet types may be applied for certain ores the details should be based on the results of metallurgical testwork. During the normal course of investigations the ore is first characterised by mineralogical analysis to determine the types of ore and gangue minerals, their associations and grain sizes to estimate the required degree of comminution for liberation of the valuable minerals. Based on the results of this study possible alternative treatment methods are considered. A program of metallurgical testwork is then carried out to assess the amenability of the ore to one or more of these alternative processing routes. If the results are sufficiently promising a feasibility study is conducted, involving detailed testwork on a laboratory-scale, which may or may not be followed by piloting to generate data for a final economic analysis and plant design. In all these stages of the project, mineralogy or more generally materials characterisation, plays an important role. Metallurgical problems can often be anticipated or explained by mineralogical analysis of the feed, separation products, precipitates, leach residues, slags etc. Appropriate action can then be taken. The availability of "in house" process research facilities together with mineralogical support can result in substantial benefits to a mining company. The feedback between operations and the research group will provide an invaluable build-up of expertise. It is evident that such facilities are costly and usually only large mining companies can sustain them. The interaction between mineralogy and metallurgy forms the central theme of this thesis, which is divided into two parts. The first part commences with a general section in which the importance of mineralogy In metallurgical processing is illustrated by means of examples of applications in mineral dressing, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy. Gold processing Is separately treated In view of Its current Importance. This section is followed by an overview of research work in various areas of mineral processing in relation to the central theme. The details of this research work are contained in a series of published articles which, supplemented by recent work, forms the second and main part of the thesis.

Book excerpt: Metal usage by humans is vigorously increasing day-by-day. Since the turn of the new millennium, human needs have mainly depended on different types of metal. Ores and minerals are the primary natural sources of metals. In order to process metals, manufacturers require certain methods and technology. This reference book provides six widely used varieties of metal synthesizing and the chapters are contributed by internationally reputed professors and researchers. Chapter One focuses on biomineralization. Biomineralisation is an art of nature; it is an important process where organisms produce hierarchical mineral structures with diverse functions for their survival. This process happens through the self-organisation of organic and inorganic molecules under ambient conditions, resulting in highly structured materials with remarkable physical and chemical properties. Chapter Two refers to the application of biological methods in mineral processing. Chapter Three describes monazite mineral processing; monazite is the main resource of rare earth metals such as uranium and thorium. In this chapter, monazite mining, beneficiation and metallurgical routes are discussed. Chapter Four defines the hydrometallurgy of rare earth metals, including scandium. Chapter Five deals with ore extraction technology through computer aided engineering techniques. The final chapter concludes with the processing technology used to treat primary and secondary sources for base metal recovery.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minerals are an essential component of the nation's resources base towards economic development. Mineral beneficiation presents opportunities for development of new entrepreneurs in large and small mining industries. The developing countries need to concentrate for exploitation of their resources for national development in view of the modern and innovative researches and technological advances within an environment of sustainability consciousness in new world trade regime, etc. Developing countries will play an important role in that expansion on the demand side, as well as on the supply side, given shifts in exploration and mining development investments. For this reason, there is a need for policy makers, scientists, technologists, academics and other industry experts to come together and assess ways and means to realize the potential of the mineral resource base in developing countries and its contribution to industrial development. In this context, the Centre for Science & Technology of the Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre) had organised a series of three International Workshops and the latest 3rd International Workshop on 'Mineral Processing and Beneficiation' was held in Harare, Zimbabwe during 11-14 September 2014 jointly with the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development and the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development of the Republic of Zimbabwe. The workshop was attended by 110 participants from 15 countries representing Afghanistan, Guyana, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nigeria, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, Zambia and of which 89 delegates were from the host country Zimbabwe. The present book, edited by Dr. G. Padmanabham is a follow up of Harare Workshop comprising 14 scientific and technical papers contributed by the experts from 12 countries. The book is expected to be useful to all the stakeholders in Mineral processing and beneficiation industry, from researchers to policy makers and government officials in the developing countries.
