Carbon Regeneration
In normal process streams activated carbon is exposed to a variety of chemicals. Organic compounds tend to adsorb readily on the hydrophobic activated carbon, which reduces site availability for gold cyanide. Other compounds such as calcium and magnesium carbonate commonly precipitate on the carbon surface and restrict gold adsorption access. Consequently, the performance of the […]
What Causes Leach Pad Liner Differential Settlement
Differential settlement of a leach pad liner is typically thought of being caused by consolidation of soils due to the load created by the heap materials over a soft clay soil and/or elastic compression of the subgrade soils due to this load. In these cases, the loads at the toe of the heap are essentially […]
Procedure & Method for Activated Carbon Testing Program
OBJECTIVE:Â Evaluation of Westates Metasorb 321G (6×12) virgin activated carbon as compared to medium activity carbon from alternate vendors. PROJECT SCOPE: The following variables will be evaluated: Apparent density. Initial moisture content. Fine carbon losses following pre-soak. Particle size distribution of pre/post attrited carbon. Attritioning rates and losses with/without silica media. 24 hour adsorption rate and […]
Meehanite Metal
Meehanite is the copyrighted trade name for a uniform, closely controlled iron cast to rigid physical properties. The Mine and Smelter Supply Company pioneered the use of Meehanite as applied to grinding mill construction. Because of the uniformity of properties and assurance of manufacture according to engineering specifications, Meehanite metal has been selected for use […]
Ball Mill Gear
Two general classifications of gearing are used for ball Mill drives. These are the spur gear and the helical gear. Helical gearing may be either of the single helical or double helical (Herringbone) design. SPUR GEARS These are generally furnished on the smaller diameter mills using V-belt drives or reducer drives. Spur gears and pinions […]
Ball Mill Feeders
Each application dictates the selection of proper feeding arrangement. This depends upon whether the grinding will be open circuit or closed circuit, and dry grinding or wet grinding. The size of feed and tonnage rates are also important factors. Speed of scoop lip is important. Listed below for your convenience is a table showing critical […]
How to Separate Ferrous & Non Ferrous Metals Scraps
Scrap metal, both ferrous and non-ferrous, present in industrial wastes, slags, smelter bi-products, sludges, refinery sweepings, ashes, etc., can be reclaimed in most instances at a profit and thus are made available for reuse in industry. Very substantial stockpiles of these scrap metal wastes are available for processing in the various industrial areas. 911metallurgist.com through […]
Tailing Disposal Methods and Tailings Dam Construction Design
As there is seldom enough ground available on which the tailing of a flotation plant can be run to waste without being stacked, it is usual to impound it in some form of dam where the solids can be deposited and the water decanted off for return to the plant. It is generally advisable to […]
Rotary Drum Filter: Capacity & Installation
The capacity of a vacuum rotary drum filter varies from about 200 to 2,000 lb. of dry concentrate per square foot of filtering surface per 24 hours according to the nature of the material and the amount of water that it contains. For the purposes of rough calculations it is usual to assume a capacity […]
Power Required for Pumping Water
In Pumping Water, the power required to raise a given quantity of water to any height up to 100 ft. can be calculated from this Table, which assumes the use of a double inlet centrifugal pump of good design working well up to its full capacity and reasonably near to its most efficient speed. To […]
