Energy. Rock drilling, blasting, and comminution (crushing and grinding) consume a vast amount of energy in hard rock mines. As mentioned in Sect. 1, statistics from hard rock mines indicates that drilling and blasting consumes 2% and comminution does 53% of the total energy input in the whole production chain from mining to mineral processing (Spathis 2015), see Fig. 1.

Model of an iron ore sinter plant with selective waste gas ...

Abstract. The use of sinter influences hot metal production substantially and significantly affects an integrated steel mill's total emissions. Sintering of iron ores is an enormous energyintensive and resources consuming process. Introducing a selective waste gas recirculation (SWGR) to the sintering process reduces the energy consumption ...

Process simulations in mineralogybased geometallurgy of iron ores

Process simulations in mineralogybased geometallurgy of iron ores

The model parameters were calibrated for current runofmine ore and then in the simulation applied directly to the other ore. For the second ore, the simulation results vary between the different levels. This is because, at the bulk level, the model assumes minerals do not change their behaviour if ore texture or grinding fineness are changed.
