Putting quarries on the radar ~ Radar technologies for quarry level management give competitive edge ~ There’s an “imperative for the Top 40 mining companies to focus on productivity,” reports PwC and accurate level measurement is particularly essential in efficient operations. However, the harsh environment of quarries — filled with dust, moisture and noise — poses significant challenges to traditional measurement technologies. #QuarriesOnTheRadar #SustainableQuarrying #QuarryAwareness #MiningMatters #ResponsibleQuarrying Technidrive Ltd https://lnkd.in/eNV_UNDB

Discover innovative solutions in the mining industry! We're proud to introduce ORESORB™—a patented hydrogel designed for underground blasting and dust suppression. It not only improves blasting efficiency but also enhances the safety of miners. During the production process of open-pit mines, a significant amount of dust is generated at every stage, from drilling to loading, transportation, crushing, and soil discharge. Our SOCO® products have achieved positive results in countries like Australia, India, France, Brazil, and more. 🌏 ORESORB™'s excellent water absorption and retention capabilities allow it to be adsorbed for a long time at room temperature, penetrating gaps between dust particles. By increasing the mass of dust particles through moisture absorption and promoting coagulation through adhesion, it effectively suppresses dust dispersion. In blasting operations, ORESORB™ serves as a blast hole sealing agent, rapidly forming a solid hydrogel to effectively seal the blast hole, reducing the pressure shockwave from explosions, and regulating gas pressure to decrease noise and dust emissions. Moreover, ORESORB™ is also applicable for dust suppression on mining roads, slope greening, loose material piles, and dust suppression and sludge solidification in mining tunnels. 🌳 Join us in promoting green development in the mining industry and creating a safer and more efficient working environment! 🏭 https://lnkd.in/gfZRXR_P #DustSuppression #MiningInnovation #ORESORB #SafetyFirst #GreenMining #BlastingTechnology #EnvironmentalSustainability #MiningSafety #IndustrySolutions

Bolt Tension Monitoring in Real-world Applications It’s fascinating how some “solutions” only address initial bolt tension as if a mill’s operating conditions were a fixed, unchanging environment. The attached graph acquired from a typical mining mill application clearly shows the reality: bolt tension doesn’t stay constant; it may degrade significantly over time under operational loads. This is especially crucial in heavy-duty, highly dynamic applications like mining mills, where performance, safety, and equipment longevity depend on maintaining effective bolt tension. Some 'bolt whisperers' might advocate a one-time, static check for bolt tension – a quick ‘set it and forget' solution, as wireless monitoring during actual operation is… 'inconvenient' or 'not needed',... or even worse; accusing suppliers of pushing their agenda (!) Unfortunately, machinery doesn't listen to bolt whisperers and doesn't understand the convenience of over-simplistic, initial-only checks. As the data shows, real-time monitoring during mill operation reveals the gradual tension loss and provides crucial insights that a one-time initial setup simply can't provide. Wireless bolt tension monitoring using BoltSense technology makes it possible not only to ensure accurate tension settings during installation but most importantly; to monitor bolt tension dynamically, precisely when it matters most – during mill operation. One could say that relying solely on initial tension checks is akin to leaving your car’s tyre pressure unchecked for months, just hoping it stays the same! Convenient, yes – but at what cost? Love your bolts; we do!

Six steps for closing sludge ponds using geotextile reinforcement Sludge ponds are critical for various industries, especially in mining, for managing process waste. However, closing these ponds poses challenges due to the sludge's low bearing capacity. A multi-functional geotextile reinforcement layer provides a robust solution for capping these ponds, enhancing their closure process. This guide explores the engineering principles behind this solution through six comprehensive steps. Hermann Ng https://lnkd.in/gmfDABSM #Tailings  #tailingsdam #tailingsstoragefacility #TSF

Gold slurry is tough to work with. It’s highly abrasive which means it's going to punish your slurry piping & pumps. Head to our learning hub to look at five established gold mines, how they fixed common piping problems in their processing plants and now get 4x to 9x longer wear life in their slurry piping. #gold #mineralprocessing #processengineering #mining #beaverprocessequipment

Ramping up flotation recovery at Red Chris At the recent AusIMM #MillOps 2024 conference held in Perth from 21-23 October, a presentation by Dr David Seaman, Manager Metallurgy – Technology & Innovation at Newmont Corporation was titled ‘Red Chris Flotation Circuit Expansion – From Piloting to Full Scale.’ The original #flotation circuit at the #RedChris #gold-#copper mine included bulk #rougherflotation using conventional #tankcells, followed by #cleanerflotation consisting of two columns. In the original design of the cleaning circuit, the two columns were operated in series: the concentrate from the first column were sent to the second, smaller column to further upgrade to final concentrate-grade. As mining operations have advanced, ore mineralogy has exhibited increased variability, necessitating a more robust cleaning circuit, especially to accommodate higher head grades. To address this requirement, a third column was piloted on-site to verify metallurgical performance across various configuration options. Following successful piloting, a third column was integrated into the circuit, and commissioning was completed in June 2021. These are Eriez Flotation Cavitation Tube Columns, selected for piloting for their small lateral space requirement and plant familiarity. #Newmont piloted five process streams in the cleaning circuit and validated flexible cleaner circuit configuration options to achieve final concentrate grade – cleaner recovery was up +0.9% for gold and +2.1% for copper with the new column. Total gold and copper recovery improved by +0.5% and +0.9%. In parallel with the cleaning circuit expansion, efforts were directed towards improving the performance of the rougher flotation circuit. In addition to inherent limitations in residence time, the rougher circuit often needs to be reconfigured, converting the last two flotation cells from bulk rougher flotation to pyrite flotation duty to generate non-acid generating (NAG) tails. This reconfiguration further reduces available residence time and negatively impacts rougher recovery, as evidenced by plant data. To extend residence time and alleviate capacity constraints, the implementation of Eriez #StackCells was explored through piloting, owing to their compact design that aligns with the available plant space. Based on the piloting results, six full-scale StackCells® were installed as pre-roughers and commissioned in July 2022 for parallel performance comparisons with the plant tank cells. As with the cleaning circuit work, plant surveys were conducted to optimise operating conditions and confirm the benefits of these expansions, with recovery improvements aligning with results from the piloting work. Newmont states that they achieved over three times faster kinetics for copper and gold flotation, with equivalent or higher recovery than existing tank cells. Specifically, +3.5% gold and +1.9% copper with StackCells in operation. #futureofmining #flotationinnovation
