  1. 1. Investigating the effect of grinding method on ore beneficiation behaviour

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

    Författare :Mellisa Tanaka Mundida; [2023]
    Nyckelord :flotation; grinding; liberation; chalcopyrite; beneficiation; grinding method; selectivity index; VRM; Aitik ore; rodmill; particle shape;

    Sammanfattning : Commodity projection studies anticipate an exponential increase in copper demand and decreasein mill grade of deposits currently exploited globally. Most of this demand is driven by theindispensable use of copper in electrification and currently, the growing demand in the contextof the green transition. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : One of the major challenges in earth sciences and mineral exploration has been to determine with high accuracy and at a fast rate the elemental composition as well as the general chemistry of a rock sample. Many analytical techniques e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Mineralogical characterization of gold in the Aurora ore zone in the Björkdal gold mine, northern Sweden – implications for metal recovery

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Krister Åström; [2022]
    Nyckelord :geology; Björkdal gold deposit; Skellefte district; gold; Au; Aurora ore zone; metal recovery; cold mounting; SEM; QEMSCAN; mineral association; grain size;

    Sammanfattning : The Aurora zone is an ore zone which was recently discovered in the Björkdal gold mine, northern Sweden, and it has been the main focus of mining and exploration activities for the past few years (Pressacco et al., 2020). The purpose of this project is to determine how gold occurs in the Aurora zone. LÄS MER

  4. 4. A Geometallurgical Approach Towards the Correlation Between Rock Type Mineralogy and Grindability: A case study in Aitik mine, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Raoul Schmitt; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Geometallurgy; autogenous grinding; process mineralogy; grindability test; abrasion breakage; automated mineralogy;

    Sammanfattning : Aitik is a large copper porphyry type deposit located in northern Sweden, currently exploited at an annual rate of approximately 45Mt. The ore's exceptionally low head grade of 0.22 % Cu and varying degrees of hardness across the entire deposit pose challenges to the two fully autogenous grinding lines, each of which comprises a 22.

  5. 5. Mineralogical characterization of oresamples of different pH in the Björkdal golddeposit, northern Sweden – implications formineral processing

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Niklas Ekholm; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Björkdal gold deposit; gold; pH; QEMSCAN; mineralogy; ore.;

    Sammanfattning : The Björkdal gold deposit is situated in the Skellefte mining district, northern Sweden. The ore is mined from a complex system of quartz veins ranging from a few cm to a meter in width. The mineral processing steps at Björkdal comprises a flotation circuit, which performance is dependent on the pH of the ore feed. LÄS MER
