Operational variables of a mineral processing circuit are subjected to different variations. Steady-statesimulation of processes provides an estimate of their ideal stable performance whereas their dynamicsimulation predicts the effects of the variations on the processes or their subsequent processes. In thispaper, a dynamic simulator containing some of the major equipment of mineral processing...

The final shape of natural minerals as raw materials is determined by its genesis, by its chemistry, its crystal structure and by the grinding processing it has undergone [1]. The mineral rupture involves several different processes occurring together or successively. As an approximation, during the comminution of phyllosilicates, two distinct breakage processes occur: the breakage is parallel ...

An environmentally benign, fast and convenient protocol has been developed for the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to β-nitroalkenes in good to excellent yields by a grinding method under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions.

It is vell known that fines and ultrafines can cause severe problems in mining and mineral processina. The decrease in the grade of ore combined with the arowinS demand for aineral products baa led to the minina and milling of increasing tOQnage or ore. Cl08ely linked with the problem of reduction in the grade of ore is. the more serious problem of the decrease in libration size. A direct cODsq...

Flotation recovery in geometallurgical modelling is usually predicted based on relationships developed from batch flotation testing of different ore types. These batch flotation tests are usually performed at a constant set of operating conditions and at a fixed feed grind size P80. Usually the laboratory feed grind P80 is that which is expected to be produced in the full-scale flotation circui...

The combined microwave-assisted sorting and comminution of minerals has been proposed to reduce the huge grinding energy consumption in mineral processing. However, gangue would be discarded after process despite microwave absorbed during their treatment. Therefore, this paper investigates effect pretreatment on Bond work index (BWI) quartz calcite samples, as they represent dominant gangues ma...

BACKGROUND Fixed angle sliding hip screw devices allow controlled impaction between the head neck fragment and the femoral shaft fragment in the surgical treatment of pertrochanteric fractures. This study was performed to evaluate the frequency and pattern of comminution at the fracture site, which may prevent the intended impaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three-dimensional computed tomography...
