Introduction. World supplies and reserves of chromite or chrome ore (FeCr 2 O 4) have been dominated mainly by South Africa and the former-USSR, which made chromite a strategic material in many Western countries 1.Bhappu highlighted the need for more research into the processing of low-grade refractory ores of strategic metals such as …
The accumulation of mine tailings on Earth is a serious environmental challenge. The importance for the recovery of heavy metals, together with the economic benefits of precious and base metals, is a strong incentive to develop sustainable methods to recover metals from tailings. Currently, researchers are attempting to improve the …
New technology allows it to recover up to 40% of the gold left in particle form in tailings. DRD Gold extracted 33,600 ounces of gold, worth nearly US$40 million, in the last quarter of 2013. Mintails, a mine tailings processor, has developed new technology to process 350,000 tons of slimes from its extensive tailings resources.
DOMBP's tailings mineral resources, which have been accumulated since 1938, amount to 2.2 million tons as of 1 January 2018. In total, there are 2.2 million tons at 27.65% Cr 2 O 3, which is 0.6 million tons in terms of chromium oxide [].The technological scheme of chrome ore processing at DOMBP includes standard operations of gravity …
This is particularly the case for tailings dumps created from the processing of platinum group elements (PGEs) from the UG2 reef in the Bushveld Complex (BC) of …
For recovering copper from tailings, regrinding is needed to liberate copper minerals from locked grains. As a result, liberated but fine copper mineral particles are formed.
The imbalance between raw materials of high economic importance and their supply has increased the search for new approaches to obtain valuable elements from mining tailings. In this study, the extraction of copper, zinc, and lead from sulfidic tailing in sulfate–chloride media was investigated. A 33 Box–Behnken design was applied to …
The invention discloses a method for recovering chromite from platinum-palladium tailings. The method comprises a combined process of magnetic separation enrichment, graded gravity separation, spiralchute, magnetic separation scavenging and centrifugal gravity separation. According to the method, low-intensity magnetic …
Ore processing recovery systems are used for everything from recovering precious metals, industrial minerals to processing rare earth minerals. Plants for recovering precious metals often recover ...

the rest was lost in the tailings. (c) The % Cu Loss can be calculated by subtracting the % Cu Recovery from : % Cu Loss = 100 – 95.7 = 4.3% This means that 4.3% of the copper present in the ore was lost in the tailings. (d) The % Weight Recovery is equal to the % Weight of the concentrate in Table 1. It can also
In order to recover the ultra fine chromite particles from the Karagedik Concentrator tailings, a new process, including Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation and column flotation, was developed ...
The tailings generated from the process contains valuable chromite and iron-bearing minerals, loss of which is a matter of concern for the ferrochrome industry worldwide. ... The profit pursued by enrichment with smelting route addresses the problem of chrome recovery but does not promote the concept of circular economy and …
PGM recovery from chromite tailings - a new art or more of the same? November 2011. Conference: Flotation 2011. At: Cape Town, …
At the optimum conditions that were determined for recovering copper from tailings, it was observed that leaching time did not have much effect on the outcomes. 3. It was observed that, in all experimental processes except the ones with APS, almost no iron entered the solution, and a selective leaching process was obtained.
Abstract and Figures. In this study, an optimum beneficiation route was developed for an existing concentrator that processes low-grade chromite deposits. This objective is challenging as the ...
1 Abstract Recent years has seen an upsurge in the interest for recovering Platinum Group Metal (PGM) concentrates from traditional chrome producer's tailings streams and dams.
Globally, several investigations have been made to determine the most economic processes applicable to reduce the tailing losses or to recover the fine chrome particles from the stockpiled gravity concentration plant tailings and to process the low and subgrade fines are critically discussed. 3.6.1. Reduction of tailing losses •
Recover Chromite by Flotation. Table of Contents. This report describes an investigation by the Bureau of Mines of flotation techniques for the recovery of chromite from fine-grained disseminated ores. Reported work on the concentration of chromiferous materials shows that flotation has been applied almost exclusively to slime-free pulps.
The recovery of chromite from the tailings streams of South African UG2 platinum concentrators adds significant revenue to these operations.
