  • Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining
    GUIDANCE DOCUMENT Developing a National Action Plan to Reduce, and Where Feasible, Eliminate Mercury Use in Artisanal and Small Scale Gold Mining Working Draft August 17, 2015 Foreword The Minamata Convention on Mercury, opened for signature in October 2013 in Japan, creates a blueprint for actions to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic emissions and releases of mercury and mercury compounds. Article 7 of the Minamata Convention addresses the largest anthropogenic source of mercury pollution, artisanal and small scale gold mining (ASGM). Under Article 7, countries where mercury is used in ASGM are required to take steps to reduce and, where feasible, eliminate the use of mercury. Because the ASGM sector is closely tied to complex economic development and poverty issues, the Convention allows flexible, country-specific solutions through the development of an ASGM National Action Plan (NAP). Although each country’s NAP process will be unique, Annex C of the Minamata Convention provides a list of elements that must be included in each NAP. This document represents an expansion of the UNEP’s Guidance Document: Developing a National Strategic Plan to Reduce Mercury Use in Artisanal and Small Scale Gold Mining (UNEP 2011), and is intended to reflect Convention obligation and other advances in understanding of the ASGM sector. This document provides guidance to countries in formulating NAPs that are compliant with the requirements of the Minamata Convention, and provides technical, legal and policy information on issues related to ASGM, which can be useful when preparing and implementing the NAP. Although the use of this guidance is not a requirement under the Minamata Convention, this guidance is intended to assist countries with the preparation of their NAPs.

  • Chapter-7 Gravity Concentration of Iron Ore
    CHAPTER-7 GRAVITY CONCENTRATION OF IRON ORE R. K. Rath and R. Singh INTRODUCTION Gravity concentration process is the oldest beneficiation method known to mankind. This is a physical process and exploits the differences in densities of minerals to bring about a separation. Although with the advent of froth flotation, the relative importance of gravity concentration has declined in twentieth century but still on an average higher tonnage of material is treated by gravity concentration than flotation. The gravity separation processes are comparatively cheap and environmentally friendly. It finds immense application in the processing of iron ores besides coal, beach sands, gold, diamonds, platinum, baryte, fluorspar, tin, tungsten ores etc. The major limitation with the gravity concentration is the treatment of fines and ultrafines. In the fine size ranges the fluid and viscous forces become dominant relative to the gravity and this in turn affects the separation efficiency. However, significant development has been made in this field by introducing enhanced gravity separators like Knelson, Falcon, Kelsey Jig, Multigravity separator and water—only cyclone etc. These equipments generate higher gravity by application of centrifugal force and are capable of concentrating fines and ultrafine particles. PRINCIPLE Gravity separation of two minerals, with different specific gravity, is carried out by their relative movement is response to force of gravity and one or more other forces. Normally one of the forces is the resistance to motion by a viscous fluid e.g. water. So, besides the specific gravity the factors like size, shape and weight of the particles affect the relative movement and hence the separation.

  • Correspondence. the Concentration and Sizing Of
    90 DISCCSSIO-U ON SIZING OF CRUSHED NIBEEhLS. [Minutes Of Mr. Commans. Au!hor, when speaking of the digiculty of screening particles less than l& to 1 nlillimetre in diameter, was referring to screening in a wet condition, as commonly was the case with ore, and did not intend to referto thescreening or sieving of drymaterial, as Mr. J. H. Saunderson would seem to suppose. On the other hand, undoubtedly, even withdry material, a difficulty wasoften experienced with fine sieves of the meshes getting choked ; and if that was obviated in themachine referred to byMr. Saunderson, it was certainlya step in the right direction. With Mr. Garland's remarks about the jigger bottom having a forward inclination, he quite agreed. That plan should never be adopted, and whatever fall was required toassist the movement of the ore shouldbe obtained by slightly lowering each successive sieve, or the depth of the bedding, the sieves themselves remaining horizontal. Correspondence. JIr. Bartsch. Mr. W. J. BARTSCH,of Siegen,supplemented theAuthor's description by some details of results obtained with the Bartsch concentrator. As wouldbe seen from Figs. 45, that appliance consisted of a convex circular table carried at the centre on a bearing b, and at the circumference by rollers c. Radial blows were imparted by a cam f, and the slime and wash-water dis- tributors revolved over thetable, the main water-pipe being bent in a parabolic curve. The usual diameter of the table was 134 feet. For every 30 revolutions of the shaft, 120 bumps were imparted to the table, in which time(one minute) the distributors made half a revolution of the table.

  • The Separation of Galena and Blende from Their Gangue As Practised at the Mines of Sentein, Ariege, France
    3% LUEIS ON THE SEPARATION OF GALENA AND BLENDE. [Selected (Paper No. 1942.) The Separation of Galena and Blende fiom their gangue as practised at the Mines of Sentein, Arihge, France.” By ERNESTDU BOISLUKIS, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E. THISis a record of detailed observations made whilst preparing formarket galena and blende, at the mines of Sentein in the Pyrenees. The oreswere intimately mixed in the proportion of 8 to 10 per cent. of galena, 15 to 20 percent. of blende, and gangue consisting of hard quartz, quartzose rock, schist, &c. The market lead-ore obtained included from 16 to 20 oz. of silver per ton.The blende did not contain sufficient silver for valuation. By experiments in the laboratory, it was found that the galena lost very little silver byfine crushing and washing. The machinery, supplied by Mr. George Green, of Aberystwyth, was erected in existing buildings; but these were so scattered that it is not thoughtnecessary to givea plan of them. Instead of this, a method of arranging the whole of the required plant under one roof, with slight modifications, that would render such proposed dressing-floors more efficient, is given in Plate 7, Figs. 1, the sub- stantialstructure indicated being necessary on account of the climate of the Pyrenees, where protection from frost and snow is indispensable. Water-power was used, being abundant, but the motors are not shown in Figs. 1, for, depending on the position of such proposed floors, steamor water wouldbe used asmight be found most advantageous. Mention is, however, made later on of the power required.

  • Control of Comminution Circuit for Efficient Froth Flotation D
    FROTH FLOTATION : RECENT TRENDS @IIME, JAMSHEDPUR, 1998; pp. 10-17 Control of Comminution Circuit for Efficient Froth Flotation D. D. IVIIISRA ilndian School of Mines, :Marked] - 626004 ABSTRACT Efficiency of separation in the froth flotation circuit is rely much dependant on the efficiency of size reduction and size separation in the preceeding comminution and classification circuit. A coarser grinding product than desired causes loss of grade or recovery due to inadequate liberation where as with over grinding there is an increase in slime loss. This paper ennumerates the factors that affect the performance of the grinding circuit and the steps that should be taken for its efficient operation. Once the grinding circuit is commisioned its performance is dependant mainly on the operation and control of the classifier. In case of the mechanical classifiers very effective control can be obtained by suitably varying the wash water flow rate and the weir height. In case of the cyclone classifiers the control is some what difficult. Key Words : Comminution circuit, Control froth flotation, Operating parameters, Efficiency. INTRODUCTION The froth flotation process is extremely sensitive to the particle size. Ideally the particles should be just small enough to ensure liberation of the ore from the gangue and no smaller. In some rare cases of relatively high grade ore deposits some what acceptable liberation may take place at a size too large (+1 mm) to float in thd froth flotation, process. In such cases the ore should be ground to about -0.3 mm to ensure flotation as the flotation rate is observed to decrease rapidly with the increase in particle size.
