Increasing energy costs over the last five years have significantly increased the cost of platinum concentrate smelting at Anglo American Platinum. In addition, increasing concentrate masses being produced will require the construction of additional smelter capacity by 2015 to process these concentrates. Both of these result in …

Reliable automated PGM identification is a consistent challenge on SEM–EDS based automated mineral analysis systems. The main reason for this is the size of the PGM grains, which are often smaller than 3 μm in diameter, particularly in chromitite ores of the Bushveld Complex.This leads to "mixed" X-ray (EDS) spectra, in which the relative …
Mineral processing plants are crucial for extracting valuable minerals from ores. To improve the efficiency and profitability of these plants, advanced techniques and optimization methods are essential. These techniques and methods include process modeling and simulation, control system optimization, online monitoring and analysis, …
