Mineral Processing
Beneficiation Operations and Process Optimization through ModelingMineral Processing: Beneficiation Operations and Process Optimization through Modeling is written for both individuals working in industry as well as students. Processing techniques for the recovery or extraction of a particular mineral are largely dictated by the physical, chemical, and mineral characteristics of that particular mineral. The design of the process flow sheet and the configuration of the circuit can vary from situation to situation, as well, and this book guides readers in formulating those flow sheets for various minerals in order to assist in selecting the right equipment for the process. The book serves as a guide to mineral processing plant engineers for flow sheet development of various minerals, including coal and steel plant waste. It additionally includes alternative flow sheets and process routes for plant design. Outlines numerical modeling techniques employed for understanding processes Discusses optimization of processing techniques Covers various concepts and issues related to recovery or extraction of a particular mineral from its ore Provides guidance for greenfield projects with insight into choosing the correct circuit configuration for treating ores, given the grade and availability ISBN: 9780128231494, 0128231491
