PROJECT 5
Liberation and granulometric assessment
Feed treated in assorted streams collected for a Zinc Smelting plant
Mineral Abundance by volume
Chemical Assay by weight
Grain size distribution of assorted feed samples
Mineral Abundance by volume
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-
Liberation in all the cof of assorted streams is nearly significant for the economic minerals viz., galena and sphalerite.
-
Under flow fractions are characterized by coarse grained galena, with at times sphalerite also.
-
Under flow fractions are also showing abundance of locked galena and sphalerite.
-
At times Fahlore (silver carrier) are also visible, both in free and locked combination.
-
However, the feed is highly ferruginous; Fe contents are more due more free pyrite and pyrrhotite in both the fractions of all the streams.
-
Nothing is abnormal is visible mineralogical.
-
MOG at present is significant with good metal content in Free State.
-
Therefore, this kind of MOG should be continued for present mix of ore.
