Is progress in energy-efficient comminution doomed?

Comminution is known to be an inefficient user of energy. This makes it the largest energy consumer in many mine sites and therefore a large component of cost. One would therefore have thought that improving comminution energy efficiency would be receiving the undivided attention of the mining industry, but this is not the case. ...

Laboratory Testing & General Mineral Processing Engineering

The main advantage with a pyrometallurgical route is that one utilizes the iron present in the limonite ores to make the nickel containing pig iron. In hydrometallurgical routes, the limonite is the major consumer of acid and after getting it into a soluble phase, it is selectively precipitated out in order to make a nickel-cobalt product.

Mineral Processing

Comminution plays a major role in mineral processing since this operation is performed starting the treatment sequence, producing a very high impact on the effectiveness of the downstream processing stages. In other cases, comminution can also be required where a solid product must conform to the size specifications ruled by the …
