Powerful auditing using process mineralogy

An effective process auditing program is an important part of maintaining consistent recoveries in mineral processing operations. Traditionally, process audits are completed using chemical and metallurgical methods to monitor recovery and elemental distribution. The development of automated mineralogy and more efficient process mineralogy analysis techniques means that mineralogy is now more accessible as an efficient and comprehensive auditing tool.

What is my risk? Using mineralogy as a risk reduction tool.

A significant benefit of process mineralogy is the advantage it can bring in reduction of technical risk in mineral processing. Site metallurgists and managers can use mineralogy to gain an in-depth understanding of the ore being fed to their operation and reduce the effect of ore variability on recoveries

What’s in my tailings? Mineralogy as a diagnostic tool for process performance

Tailings evaluation using mineralogy is an area that I believe can define the actual losses in a plant, while simultaneously providing the first step in defining why they occur. There is massive scope to use an understanding of tailings to see what is and what isn’t working in your process.

Process Mineralogy in optimization and troubleshooting

I wanted to start our exploration of process mineralogy in the middle of the mine life cycle, with its use in process optimisation and troubleshooting. Why start here you ask? Well process mineralogy can have the biggest impact and finds the most use in this area so it is a great introduction.

The how, what and where of process mineralogy

Welcome to the new addition of the MinAssist blog, to be known as ‘Process Mineralogy Today’. This blog has been developed by MinAssist to promote the use of process mineralogy within operations and as a forum to promote discussion on the most effective ways to achieve this. I encourage you as the readers to comment on the ideas presented and add your comments on where you see process mineralogy going in today’s industry.
