Spodumene concentrate of Zavitinskoye deposit, obtained by high-temperature conversion at a processing plant, was used as the source material (Pak and Ivleva, 2016).By mineralogical composition, the concentrate was calcined spodumene-containing pegmatites having the following ratio of basic minerals, %: feldspars (albite, …
The silica combines with Fe and Al forming a zone where smectite clay (nontronite) dominates instead of iron oxides. Nontronite plays a similar role to goethite by substituting Ni for Fe 2+ ions in its crystal lattice (Brand et al., 1998). The methods for the processing of Ni laterite ores are governed by their mineralogy and chemistry. 2.
The continuous depletion of mineral resources has resulted in the increased processing of low grade complex ores that in some cases contain clay minerals. These gangue minerals are often associated with ores containing copper and gold and can cause problems in mineral flotation. Some of the observations from industry when high clay ores are …
Aluminum processing - Ores, Refining, Alloying: Aluminum is the third most abundant element on Earth's surface. Only oxygen and silicon are more common. Earth's crust to a depth of 16 km (10 miles) contains 8 percent aluminum. Aluminum has a strong tendency to combine with other common elements and so rarely occurs in nature in the metallic form. …
Relatively deep deposits, or those with elongated or irregular shapes are typically mined from underground with deep vertical shafts, declines (sloped tunnels) and levels (horizontal tunnels) (Figures 8.2.1 and 8.2.2). In this way it is possible to focus the mining on the orebody itself. In some cases, the near-surface part of an orebody is ...

Sulfidic deposits are high-grade Ni ores, and lateritic deposits are low-grade Ni ores (Fig. 6). The mineralogy of laterites varies substantially depending on location, weather, and depth, and the primary host minerals for nickel and cobalt include goethite (iron oxide), nontronite (clay), and manganese oxides . Laterite deposits are found at ...

This article continues as Part 2 of an article that appeared in the July August, 2011 edition of AJM and discusses some of the solutions to processing high clay ores. The Problems With High Clay ...
The processing of these ores is hindered by the presence of clay minerals. A comprehensive review on the effect of clays on mineral processing has been published …
Prior to mining, all rocks contained in a mineral deposit must be placed in one of several categories known as ore types. Each ore type describes a different way that the rock will behave in processing. The ore type determines which process stream a particular mined unit will be sent to, sets expectations for process engineers and metallurgists, …
Knowledge of slurry/suspension rheology in mineral processing is in great demand for the optimization of flotation performances e.g., recovery and grade, due to the increasing need for processing ...
Generally, ores with a high clay content require drying before agglomeration. Weathered ores contain enough fines that cause severe issues for percolation. For example, oxidized massive sulfide gold ores are so soft and permeable that even crushing below 75 mm does not increase gold recovery (e.g. Filon Sur ore body, Tharsis, Spain …
The iron ore industries of India are expected to bring new technologies to cater to the need of the tremendous increase in demand for quality ores for steel making. With the high-grade ores depleting very fast, the focus is on the beneficiation of low-grade resources. However, most of these ores do not respond well to the conventional …
Clay minerals can cause nightmares with Mineral Processing because of the inherent difficulties of processing high clay ores. These clay minerals typically form in …
Author: Wang, Yanhong. Abstract. Clay minerals have a deleterious effect on the mineral flotation process. Generally, two major phenomena are observed in industry when …
Clay minerals which are the main gangue mineral in many mineralization create problems in all steps of the mineral processing. Difficulties in the processing of high clay content in ores are due ...
Clay minerals in a high-clay-content ore significantly depressed gold flotation. ... Dunne, 2016). However, processing these high-clay-content ores poses widespread problems due to the fine grain size, layer structure and anisotropic charge of clay minerals (Cruz et al., 2013, Cruz et al., 2015a, Cruz et al., 2015b, Cruz et al., 2015c, …

The grinding performance was reduced by the addition of Ca 2+ ions when there was a high clay percentage (40%) and a high solid percentage (70%). This paper demonstrated the importance of controlling Ca 2+ concentrations in plant water to maximize the grinding performance of kaolin-containing ores.
The main principle of these processes (for the processing of high silica gibbsitic ores) is exploiting the difference in extraction rates of gibbsite and kaolin. In the most recent variation (the Sumitomo process), at low temperature digestion (130 °C), gibbsite can be almost totally extracted into Bayer liquor at good loadings (A/C ∼ 0.69 ...
The mineral processing industries are facing finely disseminated and low grade ores. The processing of these ores is hindered by the presence of clay minerals. ... The findings could be beneficial towards ongoing studies to manage high clay containing ores in flotation which has been referred as "a mineral processing nightmare" (Connelly ...
In copper sulphide ores processing, the presence of clay minerals is problematic in flotation circuits (Uribe et al., 2016). However, studies on the dispersing effect of carbohydrates in the process of flotation of high clay copper ores are scarce.
