Influence of particle size distribution of iron ore fines on
1. Introduction. Shipping by sea currently accounts for more than 80% of global trade volume, with iron ore accounting for the largest solid bulk turnover per year, totaling 1.4 billion metric tons by sea in 2016, mainly from Australia (57%) and Brazil (26%) to China (71%) [1].Brazil is the second largest iron ore exporter and has approximately …

Design of an open-pit gold mine by optimal pitwall profiles
INTRODUCTION. In open-pit mining, there is a clear trend of excavating mines of increasing depths (Figure 1a).Owing to the increased efficiency of mining equipment and improved exploration techniques and technology, the ore bodies left to be exploited are deeper (Figure 1b).The deeper a mine is, the higher the effect of pitwall …

Factors influencing the rate of gold cyanide leaching and adsorption …
For a plant treating 250,000 t/month of ore, this is equivalent to a net gold loss of 2.7 kg/month, which is worth almost $100,000/month at a gold price of $1100/oz. Against this loss, the cost benefit of operating at the higher pulp density is realized in smaller CIP tanks (700 m 3 at 60% solids versus 930 m 3 at 50% solids) and a decrease …
