Energy efficient and intensified leaching with ultrasound controlled cavitation

Purpose and goal The project is a further development of an ultrasonic controlled cavitation reactor for leaching of minerals and by-products that are known to be very difficult to leach (scheelite). The purpose…

New digital 3D model of the Grate Kiln pellets process for reduced energy consumption and emissions

Purpose and goal The main aim is to develop a new digital 3D model that can be used to control and optimise the flow in rotary kilns for reduced energy consumption and environmental…

Efficient comminution operation (ECO)

Purpose and goal Comminution (crushing and grinding) accounts for about 4% of the world’s energy consumption. Moreover, the environmental impacts from the production of tailings due to overgrinding can be significant. In this…

Sustainable and energy efficient leaching of metals by ultrasound controlled cavitation

Purpose and goal Controlled ultrasound cavitation has the potential to increase both leaching recovery and kinetics and can be utilised on minerals and by-products known to be difficult to leach (scheelite concentrates and…
