MCS Systems will showcase its Turbu-Flow (TUF) anti-scale water systems on Stand 1134 during the 2008 Goldfields Mining Expo (GME).
When a cooper mine in the USA learned of a new overburden-loading dipper that P&H Mining Equipment had developed in conjunction with a Powder River Basin coal mine, the wheels were set in motion to develop a copper ore-loading dipper that would provide performance gains.
Bucyrus will showcase its range of mining equipment on stand 9175 at QME 2008.
Xstrata Technology’s is on track to have 100MW of installed IsaMill power operating by the end of 2008, with two more orders for M10,000 IsaMills bound for the lead/zinc operation at Goldcorps’ Penasquito project in Mexico.
WITH the ever increasing mechanisation of bulk handling, large-scale manufacturers, processors and logistics providers can have their feet so hard on the pedal they fail to step back and take some important operations points into consideration.
ALTHOUGH a rake may appear to be a fairly straightforward piece of technology, when used in mineral processing facilities, the difference between a well-designed or poorly-designed rake can mean millions of dollars in scaled, damaged or poorly operating equipment.
In MINERAL processing operations, phenomena that strongly influence the overall outcome of the operation usually function over a very wide range of length scales.
A TEAM of CSIRO researchers using a scaled-down model of an alumina slurry mixing tank have succeeded in improving tank productivity without increasing power consumption.
A MODELLING method that predicts crystal morphology and growth rates could create new processing possibilities for the minerals industry.
Outotec and Teck Cominco have conducted test-work to determine the best thickening solution for flotation tailings, flotation concentrate, and post CN destruction CIP tailings stages at Pogo mine. Karl Dietz writes
