[ 1 ] - The Effects of Ore Properties on the Characterization of Suspension in Settling and Compression

Many studies have considered the effects of suspension properties on the dewatering process but fewhave focused on ore properties. Thus, the present work studied the effects of ore properties (density,particle size, mineralogy) on the dewatering process based on lab and pilot experiments. A hydrocyclonewas used to prepare the required samples for the experiments. To study the effects of mineral...

[ 2 ] - Optimization of cyanidation parameters to increase the capacity of Aghdarre gold mill

This study investigates the optimization of gold dissolution from Aghdarre ore. Therefore, a laboratory investigation was initiated, to improve the leaching conditions with the objective of maximizing mill capacity with no reduction on gold recovery. It was observed that the time reduction from 25 to 15 hours did not change the gold recovery. In the other words, it indicated that a capacity of ...

[ 3 ] - Clay sedimentation and consolidation behaviour in tailing storage facilities over mine lifetime

Changes in the tailing properties (increasing clay mineral content and fine particles) and poor operation of the dewatering systems have negative impacts on the Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF) of the Shahrbabak copper complex. The design solid concentration of the thickened tailings is 63 wt.% in the Shahrbabak paste plant but it is well below the design value right now (approx. 55 wt.%). The ...
