Crushing and grinding circuit availability: Why is it important in design, and how can we increase it cost-effectively?
By Rajiv Chandramohan, Greg Lane, Giovanni (John) Lo Grande & Phil Dakin
Paper presented at MINEXCHANGE 2025 SME Annual Conference & Expo in Denver, USA in February 2025.
Opportunities and challenges in dry comminution
High-pressure grinding rolls and vertical roller mills offer several potential benefits to mineral processing operations.
Mine tailings management: challenges and opportunities
Tailings management has become a crucial challenge for the mining industry, driven by increasing environmental awareness, the demand for higher standards and the need to transform operations with better safety and operational performance, and lower environmental impacts.
A review of operating data over 50 years of secondary crushing prior to AG/SAG mills
This paper reviews the last 50 years of published data on comminution circuits that use secondary crushing before AG/SAG mills.
A Benchmark on In-Pit Tailings Disposal
By Alix Becerra, Rodrigo Araya, Claudio Román, Sebastián Cisternas & Jimena Cofré
In this paper, we explore how in-pit tailings disposal can reduce the risks and environmental impacts of conventional tailings storage, using technical and environmental evaluations.
