Developments in Mineral Processing, 15
Description
The gold processing industry is experiencing change. As free-milling and oxide ores become depleted, more complex polymetallic and refractory
ores are being processed, coupled with increasing pressure for stricter environmental compliance. Recent years have also seen a steady
reduction in mineral processing and metallurgy graduates and a gradual loss of older operating experience. A contribution to documenting
current and future best practice in gold ore processing seems timely.
The focus of this volume is on advances in current gold plant
operation, from conception to closure; chapters also cover innovations at the bench and pilot-scale level that would be expected to find
commercial application at some stage. Sufficient coverage is also given to the chemistry and engineering aspects. The general principle
behind the structure of the volume is that of flowsheeting based on unit operations and applied to a mineralogical classification of
gold ore types. From concept to closure, this book covers all unit operations, mineralogies and processes that are relevant to dealing
with today's complex orebodies.
Practical experience is vital to the successful development, operation and closure of any operation.
The 42 chapters have been contributed by a total of 66 authors and co-authors who are experts from countries spanning the globe, and
representing exhaustive practical knowledge covering many disciplines relevant to gold processing.
Audience
Mineral processing engineers, metallurgists, process mineralogists, mining engineers, environmental engineers & consultants, resource company managers
