Process Mineralogy |
Process Mineralogy key to optimization: Optimizing mineral processing often relies on being able to characterize material at key stages. Traditionally this characterization is limited to elemental chemistry, either on a bulk sample or using micro-analysis to assess the chemical associations. However, the ability to determine mineralogy has been significantly enhanced the measurement not just of chemistry and particle size, but also of structure with high spatial resolution offers better understanding of the mineralogical changes involved in processing, which in turn will lead to improvements in efficiency and recovery.
We offer precise and comprehensive mineralogical services at competitive prices.
General Mineral Scan designed to provide the overview of mineralogical/petrographic information of new samples and problematic products at a cost of $1500 per sample. This study consists of (1) brief petrographic examination, photomicrographs, estimating grain size and abundance, (2) point-counting exercise for sulfides/Fe-Oxide phases, liberation and association data and (3) an XRD examination on the non-opaques. This is not quantitative mineralogy analysis but provides a broad problem-solving assistance for the metallurgists.
Quantitative Mineral Deportment Analysis designed to provide precise quantitative deportment for Cu-Ni-Sulfide phases, Fe-Ti-V-Oxides, Phosphates, Rare Earths and Uranium using both classical and automated mineral analyzers for metallurgy diagnostics. This study includes modal and liberation analysis in different size fractions and deportment analysis of Cu, Ni, Fe, S, Ti, V, P, REE and U phases and grade recovery curves. Cost based on quotation.
