Purpose and goal In this project, we aimed at validating the concept of extracting tellurium by an innovative method called liquid-gas separation: the LIGEX process. This process requires fluorination of tellurium into a…
Purpose and goal There are several industrial advantages with a cost and time effective way to evaluate new flocculants in mineral flotation. The main objective of this project was therefore to demonstrate an…
Purpose and goal The aims were to synthesise a new collector with two functional xanthate headgroups to test selectivity for Cu-Ni sulphides in one of Boliden’s ores compared with PAX used today. A…
Purpose and goal There are several industrial relevant advantages with a fast screening method compared to the normal procedure used for testing of new ideas, i.e. batch-wise laboratory flotation tests. The main objective…
Purpose and goal The project shows that nano-entities can, to a large extent, modify the surface charge of magnetite and quartz. Micro-flotation shows that nano-entities can induce hydrophobicity to mineral surfaces. Mini-flotation, with…
Purpose and goal Mining mill linings experience continuous wear, requiring periodic inspections, and can lead to high costs in case of unplanned stoppages. In this pilot study, the feasibility of using waterflow ultrasonics…
Purpose and goal The aim of the project was to increase resource efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of mining by reduced metal emissions through designing smart bioprocesses. The project has reached that…
Purpose and goal The aim of the pre-study was to create a roadmap for continuous development and to develop the methods to be used. At the end of the project it should be…
Purpose and goal The overall objective of the proposed work is to investigate the effects of different flotation cell height to diameter ratios in order to identify optimal aspect ratios for flotation cells…
