An introduction to mineral processing
This 1-day course has been especially designed for engineers, geologists, mineralogists, environmental scientists, plant operators,
marketers, financial advisors and anyone who either deals with mineral processing (extractive metallurgy) or would like to have a
better understanding of the principles of extractive metallurgy. The focus of this course is to look at the science of mineral processing
from a non-metallurgist’s point of view.
This course:
• Explores principles of geology, mineralogy, chemistry, mineral processing and economics as they apply to mineral processing unit
operations; simple explanation of how metal is geologically detected, extracted from rocks and minerals, to the final metal product.
• Provides an overview of extractive metallurgical principles in the design and operation of process plants; discusses issues such as
metallurgical test work, metallurgical accounting, environmental management and other aspects of practical extractive metallurgy.
• Covers the key concepts of: mineral processing - evaluation of new resources - ore processing - particle technology - mineral
beneficiation and extraction -purification and recovery processes - environmental management - plant optimisation - process economy -
typical processes for major commodities - final products. |
