Changing sag mill liners type from Hi-Low to Hi-Hi at Sarcheshmeh copper complex based on physical and numerical modeling
Authors
Abstract:
Liner design has become an increasingly more important tool for the AG/SAG mill performance optimization. The Sarcheshmeh copper complex concentration plant uses a SAG mill lined with 48 rows of Hi-Low type liners. Because of breakage of Low type liners and cold welding, the liner replacement task of Low with new Hi type liners has become very difficult and time-consuming. With the objective of finding a new design for liners, numerical (3D DEM; discrete element method) simulation and physical modelling in a laboratory mill were used. It was found that changing the liner type from Hi-Low to Hi-Hi could provide an appropriate charge trajectory. The new Hi-Hi type shell liners were designed, manufactured, and installed. With the new liners, the number of broken liners over liner life reduced from 6 to 0 piece, the total changing time for one liner decreased from 21 to 16 minutes, and no cold welding of shell liners was observed. Comparison of the feed rate before and after installation of the new liners for a period of liner life showed an increase from 750 to 850 t/h, which was indicative of a higher flexibility of the mill in encountering ore hardness variations.

Hi-Tech Hi-Touch Approach to Wearable Computing
The term Hi-Tech Hi Touch was coined by John Naisbitt in the early 80’s. Since then his concept about the conscious integration of technology into our lives became even more relevant. After the general approach of Hi-Tech Hi-Touch is presented, the rational for applying it specifically to wearable computing is discussed. It is suggested that careful consideration of the human, social and organi...

full textHI in Early-type Galaxies
We summarise the HI properties of early-type galaxies, in particular the differences in HI morphologies observed in early-type galaxies of different luminosities. We find that in low-luminosity early-type galaxies the HI is almost always in a disk-like structure, with central surface densities high enough for star formation to occur. In a few luminous early-type galaxies the HI is also in a dis...

The HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) is a blind search for extragalactic neutral hydrogen, covering the whole of the southern sky. We present the latest HI mass function (HIMF) constructed from a sample of 263 galaxies with declinations <−62◦. Standard ∑ 1/Vmax and maximum likelihood techniques are used in the analysis. No upturn in the low-mass end of the HIMF is yet seen, though our selectio...

The exploration of the end of the Dark Ages will be one of the most exciting field of the next decade. While most of the proposed observations must await the next–generation telescopes, the observational window of the redshifted 21cm line offers the possibility to investigate the physics of reheating and reionization on a short term. Here we describe several possible signatures detectable in th...
