VIDEO: Integrated Feed Solutions in Mineral Beneficiation Plants

Editor’s Note: This is the third of three articles about our video series for Mineral Beneficiation Plants

In this animated video you will see how integrated solutions for samplers and analyzers are implemented with minimal slurry head loss for flotation feed in mineral beneficiation plants.

These mineral and ore processing solutions include options for coarse particle rejection from cyclone roping events in the grinding circuit to bypass pebbles and scats away from the downstream separation equipment. This delivers significant value by minimizing production losses from such events.

The integrated solutions include continuous and proportional sampling with minimal moving parts for dedicated on-stream elemental and particle size analysis while eliminating sample pumps and slurry transport in small bore pipes. This approach results in high availability and accuracy along with low maintenance for on-line analysis and metallurgical accounting, in keeping with the design philosophy for today’s modern plant designs.

Accurate and reliable particle size analysis for the primary grinding circuit product enables the implementation of grinding control strategies to stabilize the grinding circuit particle size distribution within pre-defined constraints. Whether the control strategy is to maximize tonnage or maintain a specific size setpoint to minimize losses from under-grinding or energy and grinding media consumption due to over-grinding, on-line particle size analysis plays an important role in the success of the control strategy.
