Accordingly, most comminution procedures in industrial applications are always closed circuit excepting primary crushing. A comminution circuit is termed closed circuit where it works in series including a size classifier, being recirculated to the comminution device the coarse fraction of the classifier. 6.6.3.1 CrushingWeb

Compared with a crusher-ball mill circuit to treat the same size of feed ore, the typical energy consumption in the conventional comminution circuit is around 20 kWh/t. Despite the better liberation by the electrical comminution, the energy consumption of over 90 kWh/t is significant to the mineral industry.Web

Combined size reduction and liberation models have become important in comminution circuits. In these regards, Steiner's (Steiner, 1975) study is one of the characteristics of the initial examples that proposed a model to describe the changes in mineral composition and size evolution during comminution.Web

Leaching gold in Calcine. The principal cyanides in the calcine are copper, ferrous iron, and smaller amounts of Mo, Co, Ni, Mn, etc. Most of the cyanicides can be removed by water washing, but this step cannot be used owing to the loss of about $0.70 in gold resulting from the use of salt in the roast.Web

Some of the metals that can do the job are copper and lead. At a pH between 8-9 lead can activate sphalerite to cause it flotation. So the reason is during the flotation of the two there may be lead re dissolution from galena which may activate sphalerite to cause it flotation. It may best if you are doing bulk flotation of the two.Web

An excessive addition of activated carbon is harmful for lead and bismuth minerals flotation because all the reagents will be absorbed by the activated carbon. This problem will persist until saturate all the carbon and then, the froth can show other appearance. The dosage can be in the range 1 to 1.5 kg/t bulk.Web
