Mineral Recovery

5.6.1 Thermally Assisted Liberation in Comminution. Heating and quenching rock can enhance liberation and increase mineral recovery in mineral processing. If the objective of size reduction is to liberate the valuable mineral component of an ore, then ideally fracture should follow intergranular paths, that is, grain boundaries.

In Situ Leach Mining of Uranium

In 2019, 57% of world uranium mined was from by in situ leach (ISL) methods. Most uranium mining in the USA, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is now by ISL, also known as in situ recovery (ISR). ISL mining of uranium is undertaken in Australia, China, and Russia as well. In USA, ISL is seen as the most cost effective and environmentally acceptable ...

Mining valuable minerals from seawater: a critical review

The brine contains all the minerals present in the sea at nearly twice the concentration of that in seawater. Mining minerals from these brines can offset part of the desalination cost as well as solve the brine disposal problem. The main methods of recovery of minerals are solar evaporation, ED, MDC, and adsorption/desorption.

Technologies in Exploration, Mining, and Processing

In underground coal mining the overall recovery in the United States averages about 55 percent; average recovery from longwall mines is about 70 percent (Hartman, 1987). Technology for mining thin coal seams (less than 1 meter thick), particularly thin-seam longwall technology, would be beneficial. In view of the extreme difficulties for ...
