Ore Mining And Treatment

the extraction of ore from underground or surface mines is but one stage in a complicated and time-consuming process of producing minerals. a mine is born through exploration and mine development. this is followed by mining and beneficiation, and ends with mine closure and rehabilitation.

effluent generated by ore refining units. in this section, we shall focus only on systems located on the site of a mine and where mine drainage water is treated separately. in this case, we are faced with more complex problems and each case has to be examined individually; in effect, everything depends on the ore being processed and on the more

ore handling is a key function in mining and mineral processing, which may account for 30–60% of the total delivered price of raw materials. it covers the processes of transportation, storage, feeding, and washing of the ore en route to, or during, the various stages of treatment in the mill.

the u.s. mining industry. these mining operations include prospecting, exploration, development, production, mineral processing, environmental restoration and reclamation, and marketing of mineral products. an ore is a mineral or combination of minerals from which useful substances, such as metals, can be economically recovered.

the copper is concentrated further by slurrying the ground ore with water and chemical reagents. in this process, air is blown through the mixture, and the copper floats to the top. the copper is

copper is refined from ores in the ground, either through underground or open-pit mines. most of the copper ores mined today are oxide or sulfide ores. extraction of sulfide ores is covered in more detail in copper mining and extraction: sulfide ores (11–14), but is introduced here because an important by-product of this process is used for the extraction of oxide ores.

mill - a plant in which ore is treated and metals are recovered or prepared for smelting; also a revolving drum used for the grinding of ores in preparation for treatment. milling ore - ore that contains sufficient valuable mineral to be treated by milling process.

mine haul roads play a key and vital role in the mine operation and the production process. downer has recently been commissioned to provide solution to the mine haul roads of major iron ore mining companies. this paper will discuss the details of the approach taken into stabilising the wearing course, dust suppressing and surface maintenance.

the furnaces treated high-grade copper ore from the mine. fluxes such as lime and iron oxide were a necessary part of the smelting process. lime came from marmor and iron oxide (haematite and magnetite) from iron island, 100 miles north of keppel bay. later pyritic ore (iron sulphide) containing up to 2% copper was used in place of the iron oxide.

mining the ore is removed from the ground in either open pit or underground mines. underground – sinking a vertical shaft into the earth to reach the copper ore and driving horizontal tunnels into the ore. open-pit – 90% of ore is mined using the open pit method. ores near the surface can be quarried after removal of the surface layers. the ore

by using ore sorting equipment, ore concentrates can be created at very low cost in small or remote mining installations. the entire processing line can be planned in semi-mobile form and consists only of crushers, screens, belts and sorting machines. this allows immense cost savings for transport, since the waste rock is disposed of on-site.

there already exist water treatment plants in various mining areas with the capacity of 25,000- 5,00,000 litre per day which are usually based on slow sand filtration; settling and filtration by coagulation using lime and alum followed by disinfection by chlorination etc.

ore is mined and processed at an onsite flotation processing plant capable of treating up to 24 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). the plant currently recovers copper, gold and silver into a saleable concentrate. the primary ore is crushed and ground using semi-autogenous grinding and ball mills to a final grain size of approximately 180 microns.

the ratio between waste rock and ore production is called the stripping ratio. for example, a stripping ratio of 2:1 means that 2 tonnes of waste rock needs to be mined to mine 1 tonne of ore. generally, an open pit mine has a higher stripping ratio than an underground mine. waste rock is often stored close to the mine to minimize transports.

cyanide has been widely used in several industries applications such as textile, plastics, paints, photography, electroplating, agriculture, metal treatment and mining. the high binding affinity of cyanide for metals such as gold, zinc, copper and silver has enabled it to selectively leach these metals from ores.

the present 100-ton treatment plant consists of agitation and decantation equipment—an 18-ft.-diameter mixer vat with paddles and four agitators. eight-ton batches are fed to the mixer. sufficient lime is added for the proper degree of alkalinity. then additional cyanide solution is pumped in to bring the strength to 0. 03 per cent.

treat as inventory. if there is usable ore in the overburden, record the stripping cost as inventory. treat as fixed asset. if there is no usable ore in the overburden, capitalize the stripping cost into the cost of the mine, along with an allocation of directly
