50% in the ROM ore. In other word, the mine could only reach its max production, when the ROM ore is in the size range of 10% coarse, 40–50% fines and the rest of coarse size. If the ROM ore is not in the required range, the plant production is unbalanced and consequently the mine could loss production by 10–20%, even 50% in the worst case.
A framework for near real-time ROM stockpile modelling to improve
In the mining industry, a run-of-mine (ROM) stockpile is a temporary storage unit, but it is also widely accepted as an effective method to reduce the short-term variations of ore grade. However, tracing ore grade at ROM stockpiles accurately using most current fleet management systems is challenging, due to insufficient information available ...
Corrosion of nanocrystalline and coarse-grained nickel …
Commercially available Nickel 201 (grain size: 45 μm) was used for coarse grained nickel. Coarse-grained Ni-Fe alloys were produced by an arc melting and rolling process at ESPI Metals (Ashland, OR, USA). Coarse-grained materials were ∼3.2 mm in thickness, and had average grain sizes of ∼1000, 960, and 590 μm respectively (Table 1).

Dump and Heap Leaching
When rock is fragmented during mining and crushing, the bulk density of the material decreases with a resulting increase in void space. This swell factor can be 25%–40% by volume. On stacking and leaching, the ore settles/compacts with wetting and because of the weight of ore placed above it. Depending on the heap height and because of this ...

Flotation: The Past, Present and Future of Mineral Processing?
The cut-off grade means that a certain amount of ore is lost along the way. Whereas in coarse gangue rejection, because the material is much finer, the margin of recovery is that much higher. Anglo American is trialing the use of "coarse particle recovery" or rejection at Mogalakwena in South Africa as part of its FutureSmart Mining program.
Challenges in processing nickel laterite ores by flotation
It should be added that segregation of laterite ores prior the flotation process has shown some improvement in upgrading nickel. The segregation process relies on the addition of calcium chloride or sodium chloride and carbon allowing the formation of nickel and iron chlorides at temperatures between 900 and 1150 °C. Iwasaki et al., (1961) and …
