Multotec’s new spiral for retreating ultra-fines

admin
Multotec has taken another innovative step to help customers recover more of their valuable ultra-fine material so that it does not go to waste in the discard. As a leading designer and manufacturer of spiral concentrators, Multotec has released its UX7 spiral which focuses on recovering material in the particle size range of 75 microns and smaller. Refentse Molehe, process engineer at Multotec, says the success of the Multotec UX7 is based on extensive in-house test work, which has led to improvements and around 13% better recovery. “Much of the… Read More Here

Years of innovation and experience in the underground space have now positioned BME – part of the JSE-listed Omnia Group – as an important player in mines where low-profile, bord-and-pillar mining methods are employed. As a blasting and explosives leader in the opencast mining sector for decades, BME has steadily moved into underground mining with a range of innovations based on its tried-and-tested products, services, and technologies. According to Neil Alberts, International Underground Business Manager for BME, the company has seen its participation grow in a number of commodity segments… Read More Here
Better Mine Waste Management through Drill Core Optimization 6 Equipment & Technology 

Better Mine Waste Management through Drill Core Optimization

admin
The amount of time, effort, risk, and cost to run an effective resource drilling campaign is not trivial. It is surprising, then, to find that after collecting and cataloging metres upon metres of drill core, very little analysis is completed. The addition of multi-elements can provide orders of magnitude benefits to geometallurgy and geoenvironmental disciplines, not to mention the benefits of using multi-element geochemistry to find even more resources. Predicting the geochemical reactivity of mine waste (e.g. waste rock, tailings, pit walls, borrow sources, etc.) is often only based on… Read More Here

Battery-powered electric vehicles would be the most impactful in reducing mining emissions: Poll

admin
The mining industry is expected to play a critical role in the global shift towards clean technologies, but decarbonisation in the sector remains a challenge. Mining companies across the globe are focussing on minimising carbon emissions over the next 15 years to align with the global target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 of the Paris Agreement. Verdict has conducted a poll to assess the most impactful step in reducing emissions from mining operations over the next five years. Analysis of poll results shows that a majority 30% of the… Read More Here

1.Based on principle of operation heat exchangers (a) Recuperative (b) Regenerative (c) Direct contact In recuperative type of heat exchangers, cold and hot fluid flow through the unit without mixing with each other. The transfer of heat occurs through the metal wall. Examples of recuperative heat exchangers are boilers, heaters, coolers, vaporizers, condensers etc. Regenerative type of heat exchangers same heating surface is alternately exposed to hot and cold fluid. Heat associated with hot fluid is stored or absorbed by pickings or solids. The hot fluid supply is then shut… Read More Here

BHP, Vale, Rio launch challenge to encourage haul truck electrification

admin
Three resource giants, BHP (ASX, LON, NYSE: BHP), Rio Tinto (ASX, LON, NYSE: RIO), and Vale (NYSE: VALE), launched today the Charge On Innovation Challenge, a global competition for technology innovators to develop new concepts for large-scale haul truck electrification systems with the main goal of cutting emissions from surface mining operations. In partnership with Australia’s mining equipment, technology and services industry body Austmine, this initiative is also expected to generate solutions that are capable of unlocking safety, productivity, and operational improvements. According to the challenge’s founding patrons, current stationary charging… Read More Here

Sandvik’s top hammer XL breaks new ground

admin
The Top Hammer XL, released by Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions, is a drilling innovation that challenges traditional down-the-hole (DTH) drilling on surface mines and large quarries. It offers a faster, fuel efficient and cost effective method to drill holes from 140 from 178 mm in diameter – considerably expanding the hole size range of previous top hammer drills. The system comprises the new Pantera DP1600i drill rig, the new RD1840C rock drill and new LT90 rock tools. Chris van Tonder, product master at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions, says… Read More Here
