Brief summary about new studies on use of organic polymer and surfactant in froth flotation.

Pic Credit:- EDDy pump As a content creator in mineral processing, I make great informative content on the equipment and process proven and reliable in the Industry. I never tried to promote any technology to my readers. However, today I found a very intriguing research paper in the area of mineral processing by Ted Nuorivaara and Rodrigo Serna-Guerrero. They come up with a new substitution in place of commercial chemical reagents in mineral processing using biodegradable reagents. Link to this research paper:  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927775720308918?dgcid=author   Before coming on the topic I want to introduce myself, my name is Sachin urade, and I am a recent Mineral processing graduate from IIT ISM Dhanbad. I work consulting author for letstalkmineralprocessing.blogspot.com. Please look at other articles too from this blog. I know giving and asking money through blogging on the internet is not fashionable in mineral processing. But new bloggers need a

How I applied concepts of Mineral Engineering in real life.

https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dosa-recipe.jpg I t was my first class in the second year when prof Nikkam Suresh, who was the Head of the department at that time, introduced mineral engineering in a very exemplary manner, which is impossible to forget for any of his students. I found many terms that can be correlated to my life; that's why I chose to be in this field despite recent job loss and unprecedented time where I cannot go to the USA and do my enrolled MS in metallurgy. Whatever the thing is, I invested my five years in this field, and now I want to stick with that.   Coming to the main topic, today, my mom gave me the job to make "Dosa." Those who don't know what Dosa is a rice pancake, originating from South India, made from a fermented batter. It is somewhat similar to a crepe in appearance. Its main ingredients are rice and black gram, ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt.: Mom was in a hurry, so she

15-thing every Extractive Metallurgist should know about Hydrocyclone

Either it could be a separation of fines from the coarser material or separation of oil from sand, Hydrocyclone is proven and versatile equipment in the mineral, mining, and petroleum industry. Due to the cost and energy effectiveness with a low maintenance requirement, Hydrocyclones are ubiquitously in the industries since 1894. Using high centrifugal force, ores can be separated, classify, or filter from the solid and liquid component of feed. In the conventional Hydrocyclon, separation of material is based on particle size. The heavier particle will be situated towards the wall, and consecutively it reports to the underflow. In the case of the small size, they will be more tends to report in overflow through the opposite direction of spiral flow, which formed due to the pressure gap from outward to center. In Hydrocyclone, we can say with confidence that the partition efficiency or separation efficiency at any particle size could not be ideal(100%). One reason is the error in the

Upcoming Webinar: Waste Management and Beyond | Innovation Through Biological Processes

About this Event: Microbes can be found on mining sites and biological processes have been developed over the years to improve the cost and safety of different mining operations with positive impacts on the environment. This session is for anyone who would like to learn more about genomics and innovative biological processes with concrete examples on mining sites. PRESENTERS: Julie Champagne , Research Project Manager, National Research Council, Energy, Mining and Environment Nadia Mykytczuk , Associate Professor and Industrial Research Chair, Laurentian University ----------------------------------------------- Join this webinar on  Wednesday, July 15 at 1:00 PM (EDT) to hear from the experts about genomics and innovative biological processes (with concrete examples) on  #mining  sites.
