Slope of Flotation Slurry Launders for Froth Flow
Launders should have high enough velocities to prevent particles from settling, or if they fall to the bottom, to keep them rolling and sliding. The depth of water should not be much over the diameter of the largest rolling particles. For concentrates and heavy gangues slopes should be increased 25—100%. SPRAY WATER IN LAUNDERS:—While it is […]
Mining Camp Fresh Water System
Introduction to an EXAMPLE Fresh Water System Water is pumped from the fresh water well to the camp tank which provides pressure and storage capacity for the camp. The camp distribution system is located between the well and the camp tank, such that the pipe between the camp and the tank may have flow in […]
Plant Tailings & Reclaim Process Water Startup & Shutdown Procedure
EXAMPLE Operation and Preparation for Start up Ensure the mill is prepared to start up at the design throughput and range of solids content. Walk the tailings line to check for damage to the pipe or overhead wires. Open the sluice gate at the tailings spillage diversion. Ensure the tailings box is free of obstruction. Ensure […]
Plant Tailings & Reclaim Water System Operating Procedure
EXAMPLE Tailings System Tailings from the processing plant are collected in a common tails box and flow by gravity to the tailings pond. The tailings flow at a rate of 51.6 cubic meters per hour and 34% solids. The tailings line consists of five separate sections and each individual section is designed to suit its local topography. […]
Grinding Circuit Startup and Shutdown Procedure
Grinding and Classification Circuit
Our EXAMPLE Grinding and Classification Circuit is designed to grind 500 tonnes of ore per day, operating 24 hours per day, with an availability of 95%. This circuit will grind -5/8″ material from the Crushing Plant, classify the slurry in one of two cyclones, and pass 70% of the minus 200 mesh material to the […]

Troubleshooting an Overflowing Pump box
Here is an example, if there is a pump box over flowing. The effect is that the pump is overflowing. What we want to know is, what is the cause? Mechanical failure? Electrical? Perhaps an Airlock? First, go to the pump itself, remember the purpose of a pump is to deliver slurry from one point […]
