From data to decisions in the mining industry
AMS® is a IFGlobal brand, empowering clients in mining with better control of their processes using Advanced Mining Systems.
Some of the challenges in the mining industry
Mineral liberation
Efficient release of valuable minerals from the ore matrix and their recovery is a fundamental challenge. Factors such as ore composition, mineralogy, and particle size distribution can influence the release and recovery rates.
Efficiency
Efficiency in the comminution and beneficiation circuit of mineral processing is crucial for optimizing energy consumption, maximizing valuable mineral recovery, and minimizing costs.
Crushing and grinding
Achieving the particle size setpoint for the optimal process performance can be challenging. The efficiency of the process is subject to the tradeoff between energy consumption, equipment wear, and the necessity for fine grinding to release minerals.
Flotation & Leaching
Flotation and Leaching are common processes for producing ore concentrates. The challenges in these circuits include maintaining the stability of the froth, controlling pH, optimizing the use of reagents and chemicals, and efficiently recovering valuables.
