Geometallurgy tries to predict the instability the behavior of ores caused by variability in the geological settings, and to optimize the mineral value chain. Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the process response are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper, the geometallurgical index is presented as a new tool to...

Demand for mineral resources is increasing, necessitating exploitation of lower grade and more heterogeneous orebodies. The high variability inherent in such orebodies leads to an increase the cost, complexity environmental footprint associated with mining processing. Enhanced knowledge orebody characteristics thus vital companies optimize profitability. We present a pilot study investigate pre...

Nickel (Ni) in batteries (e.g., nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) and manganese (NMC)) aim to ensure higher energy density greater storage capacity. Two typical layered nickel-rich ternary cathode materials, NCA NMC, are commercialized as advanced lithium-ion (LiBs) for electric vehicles (EVs). The technology of those has been improving by steadily ...
