20.01.2022 FREE Webinar Thursday - Base metal processing with the Albion Process Complex and low grade feeds are increasing in proportion of the global concentrate supply. Its a problem for concentrate producers in terms of penalties applied for the logistics and sale of concentrate with impurities.... But its also an opportunity for them to add value to their product at the location of concentrate production. Complex and low grade concentrates are also a problem for smelters and refineries. Because despite higher charges that can be applied, dealing with impurities is costly and can limit the margins at the smelter and the variety of feeds that can be treated. So this presentation gives you options for treating complex and low grade feeds and to see how these have been translated into solutions in the real world. You will learn: Why complex feeds are becoming important Strategies for treatment of feeds that cannot be treated in conventional flowsheets Real examples of where GT solutions have been applied This webinar is free but you must register to be a part of it.

20.01.2022 The dye doesnt lie. Watch how effectively the IsaMill grinds by watching how slowly and consistently the dye moves down the length of this demonstration mill. It doesnt skip grinding discs. It doesnt jump to the outside. It flows consistently, therefore the slurry gets ground consistently. This is a big factor to why you can run an IsaMill in an open circuit and avoid the cost and maintenance of having cyclones sorting the mill discharge... ...Because one pass through an IsaMill is better than one pass through any other fine grinding mill.

18.01.2022 The IsaMill is economical. It can be operated in an open circuit configuration because in fact it emulates a closed circuit within the mill itself. This is because the IsaMill has an internal classifying rotor that keeps coarser particles inside the mill for regrinding and lets finer particles pass. So it avoids wasting energy and avoids the need for recirculating through a cyclone and back to the mill for another cycle. It also means our direct 1:1 scale up from lab wo...rk is accurate. It means we can predict the energy without being unduly optimistic, it means no large recirculating loads and it significantly simplifies the circuit. The result is an economical and smaller footprint mill with a remarkably simple operating philosophy. #isamill #comminution #glencoretechnology #glencore #mining #mineralprocessing #energy #miningnews

18.01.2022 From our LiveChats: How do your new conical spacers work? Our edited answer: "The conical spacers preserve the energy and momentum of the media/particles within the mill. In normal operation there is a dead space in the IsaMill just next to the shaft that causes a reduction in media velocity within the mill. The conical spacers provide a pathway that allows for media to accelerate into the disc kidneys. This effectively conserves the medias momentum and improves grinding efficiency." #Mining #MineralProcessing #IsaMill #Comminution #Efficiency #Innovation #GlencoreTechnology #Glencore

17.01.2022 The IsaMill might have begun in fine-grinding (less than 100 microns) but its not limited to fine-grinding applications. Approaching half our IsaMill installations currently in operation process an F80 >100 microns, at a total installed power base of 129.4 MW. These applications exist in Copper, Lead Zinc, Molybdenum, Tin, Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) and Gold. The highest F80 is at the Ernest Henry site in Australia, which has an F80 of 300-350 microns. #isamill #comminution #glencoretechnology #glencore #mining #mineralprocessing

16.01.2022 Albion Process brings lower capex, lower opex, safety and low impact - https://bit.ly/albion2907 #albionprocess #mining #mingnews #miningstocks #hydrometallurgy

16.01.2022 Our #JamesonCell technology is popular for its unparalleled combination of availability, throughput and concentrate delivered. What you see here is the concurrent manufacture of four cells ranging for a single-downcomer Z cell to a 24 downcomer B cell, covering a range of flowrates from 50 to 1200 cubic metres an hour. #mining #glencoretechnology #glencore #mineralprocessing #flotation

16.01.2022 After 35 Years, the BBOC remains the heart of our silver refining business. Having the BBOC in our flowsheet has firmly cemented our position as a low cost producer - Florian von Steinkeller, Brittania Refined Metals The BBOC Bottom Blown Oxygen Cupel delivers a major advantage in precious metal refining. Its a sealed, flat-bottomed furnace mounted on a tilting frame and used to recover metals.... It works by injecting oxygen directly into the reaction zone of the furnace (the cupel). This improves process performance, reduces oxygen use, reduced off-gas and delivers better quality product and higher recoveries. BBOC is well suited to most refining duties where base metals are selectively oxidised and eliminated from precious metal product, such as slimes bullions, PGM-bearing feeds, high purity silver refining and retorted parkes crust. #bboc #mining #refining #pyrometallurgy #isasmelt #glencoretechnology #glencore

15.01.2022 The dip bar on ISASMELT and ISACONVERT tells us much much more than just the depth of the bath! It provides us with knowledge of what were making in the furnace before we tap the products. No surprises or unnecessary delays. Simple, real and reliable. #isasmelt #smelting #glencoretechnology #glencore

15.01.2022 Live Q&A From our Free Webinars - Q: How comparable to other technologies are the production costs of Albion Process? A: The Operating costs are much lower than bacterial and pressure leaching, and the Capital costs are about half, on a similar concentrate. Thats a pretty good rough guide. For more specifics, though, the operating and capital costs are dependent on the concentrate analysis - mostly the sulphide concentration. We can happily produce a high level capital and... operating cost estimate based on a concentrate mineralogical analysis. Q: Could Albion be used to expand existing POx plants? A: Actually, yes. Its appealing because of the tight sulphide tolerance of an autoclave. The Albion is designed upstream of the autoclave to reduce the acid requirements and allow much broader ranges of feeds than a POx plant could treat alone. Q: Is there any specific water requirement for the Albion Process? A: Not really. Albion can take much lower quality water than a bacterial or pressure leach plant can. And if your site must use hypersaline water, weve conducted tests where the salinity is actually beneficial to the leach performance.

11.01.2022 Its true. Flowsheet improvements FOR the real world, FROM the real world.

11.01.2022 When George Fisher project's Zinc retreatment needed a fine grind down to 7 microns, they chose IsaMill and the results were great. Recovery improvement was expected due to better liberation, and they got it. But they also saw a significant drop in reagents and circulating loads. For context, fine minerals would have been expected to consume more reagent due to their higher net surface area, not less. But improved liberation dropped circulating loads. Clean fresh surfaces fr...om the IsaMills increased flotation rates and selectivity, and these significantly reduced the need for collector and depressant. It's a great example of IsaMill creating further gains downstream. #isamill #mining #miningnews #mineralprocessing #comminution #glencoretechnology #glencore

11.01.2022 From our LiveChats: How do the Conical Spacers work? Our Edited Answer: "The conical spacers preserve the energy and momentum of the media/particles within the mill. In normal operation there is a dead space in a mill just next to the shaft that causes a reduction in media velocity. The conical spacers provide a pathway that allows for media to accelerate again into the disc kidneys, the gaps in the discs.... This effectively conserves the medias momentum and improves grinding efficiency. Simple but very effective!" #isamill #mining #mineralprocessing #glencoretechnology #glencore

09.01.2022 TOMORROW! INNOVATION and FREE Webinar! - The Induced Draft Feed Port began as an idea to eliminate the puffing of fugitive fume and dust from the ISASMELT feed port during normal operation, and during feed surges or other upsets that change the off-gas volume considerably. It is now proven in the real world.... The development has taken a few years, including CFD modelling, pilot plant trials and full-scale shop testing. This culminated recently in the successful commercial-scale application at MIM copper smelter in Australia. This webinar will cover the results and key findings from this recent implementation. Come and learn: Overview of the IDFP concept, testing & development Results from the successful commercial-scale implementation at MIM Findings and opportunities for improvement or adaption Plus, hear feedback from the operation itself.

07.01.2022 These three Jameson Cells are being installed at Sepon in Laos. Theyll be floating gold in prefloat, rougher and scalper duties. Jameson Cells like these will happily process 1.6-1.8 million tonnes per annum in duties like these. Installation took a week and commissioning of water and slurry should be in August. #jamesoncell #mining #mineralprocessing #glencore #glencoretechnology #flotation

07.01.2022 Glencore Technology has commercialized an Acoustic Emissions Analyser (AEA) that helps interpret wear rates and particle size distributions within an IsaMill. The AEA interprets stress waves created by the impact of grinding media with the internal shell liner. An acoustic emission mean signal is collected from various points along the length of mill shell, including the rotor, for interpretation. And it works. A recent case study showed that the AEA had successfully iden...tified that a shell liner was likely to show higher/ accelerated wear and where an IsaMill was overcharged which had caused wear on the rotor.

06.01.2022 From our LiveChats: What are the maximum flowrates for the various IsaMills you produce?" Edited Answer: "The flowrates are in the following table. Its important to take these into account when looking at specific energy requirements for sizing an IsaMill in your circuit." Enjoy.... #isamill #comminution #glencoretechnology #glencore #mineralprocessing #mining

05.01.2022 ISASMELT and ISACONVERT lance tips are the easiest Top Submerged Lance tips to replace in the world. The repair simply involves cutting a fresh welding surface and replacing the worn section, typically 0.5 to 2 m, with a new section of stainless steel pipe. Thats it. This adds to availability and speed of getting back into circulation for use in production. Once repaired theyre ready to be used. #isasmelt #isaconvert #mining #glencoretechnology #glencore #pyrometallurgy #miningnews

05.01.2022 To help you balance Capital and kW applied, we introduced the M7500 #IsaMill. Its for operations needing 1500-2200 kW of power but also wanting the availability, safety and product consistency of an IsaMill. #mining #mineralprocessing #comminution #glencoretechnology #glencore

05.01.2022 The most crucial part of any mill maintenance is access. And IsaMill is easier and safer to access than conventional mills - The IsaMill shell is removed from the mill internals making access easier and shutdowns faster. The IsaMill grinding chamber and discharge end are fixed to trolleys that sit on rails. Hydraulic rams move the grinding chamber along the support rails and expose the internal components of the mill for maintenance.... This means increased equipment availability, less downtime. An examples of typical IsaMill maintenance downtime event is shown below. #mining #isamill #comminution #glencoretechnology #glencore

03.01.2022 Our friends at Polyus: "To increase recovery, a flotation redistribution modernization project was developed. This meant the introduction of new Jameson Cell flotation machines. Mixing occurs due to the supply of power through the aerator, which creates a jet of high pressure. As a result, flotation concentrate quality is improved and gold losses are reduced. Congratulations, colleagues! Mission completed" https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKjZb8iTdG/... #mining #mineralprocessing #jamesoncell

03.01.2022 A Jameson Cell comes in all sizes, from 1 downcomer to 24. Its the most flexible, fits-anywhere flotation technology available. #jamesoncell #flotation #mineralprocessing #mining #glencoretechnology #glencore

03.01.2022 A Q&A snippet from our FREE Webinars, edited: Q: With the Jameson Cell, are you able to size from standard lab flotation testing results or do you need specific Jameson Cell lab tests to be undertaken? A: For most applications a test on a standard laboratory flotation cell can be completed to determine the grade/recovery performance a Jameson Cell will achieve. It is a 3 stage dilution cleaner test and the procedure is readily available to anyone."... To learn more, email [email protected]. This is a great way to perform in-house test work, get real powerful data in a timely manner and see how the Jameson Cell ccould benefit your flowsheet.

03.01.2022 All Jameson Cells undergo a full trial assembly before delivery to site. All parts fit perfectly together during plant installation so the whole process is straightforward. And with no auxiliary equipment to install other than a feed pump, minimal labour is needed. After installation, start up and commissioning is even simpler it only needs the feed pump to operate to the designed flow and pressure. #jamesoncell #mineralprocessing #mining #miningnews #glencoretechnology #glencore

02.01.2022 How on Earth can one Jameson Cell replace multiple tank cells? 1. The plunging jet inside the downcomer of the Jameson Cell creates a high shear environment, and that jet entrains atmospheric air and forces it in mixture with the pulp creating a fine bubble-pulp mixing zone. 2. Particles in the pulp have an almost 100% chance of colliding with an air bubble which means all of the hydrophobic particles in the pulp must see an air bubble. 3. This means there is virtually NO dep...endency on residence time, which for years has been one of the critical parameters in mechanical flotation circuits. 4. And that means a single, small Jameson Cell can replace multiple tank cells with superior metallurgical performance. 5. In fact, full Jameson Cell rougher and cleaner flotation circuits are just 25-35% of the footprint of their tank cell equivalents! Jameson Cell delivers huge savings to environmental impact, civil construction, steelwork and cost. #mining #mineralprocessing #jamesoncell #miningnews #flotation #glencoretechnology https://im-mining.com//hudbay-goes-100-jameson-cell-new-b/
