Ebook: Recent Advances in Mineral Processing Plant Design
- Year: 2009
- Publisher: Society for Mining
- pdf
A compilation of engaging and insightful papers from the prestigious 2009 Plant Design Symposium, this book is an indispensable text for university-level instruction, as well as a valuable guide for operators considering new construction, plant renovation, or expansion. This book delves into every aspect of plant design from best practices of industry leaders to knowing "what not to do" to avoid expensive, time-consuming mistakes. It discusses the role of innovation, how to finance and conduct feasibility studies, and how to reduce a plant’s carbon footprint. The latest developments concerning flotation, extractive metallurgy, crushing and grinding, separation processes, and process development are also discussed extensively. Case studies and plenary speakers highlight process design concepts that work well and those that do not.
