During the mining, crushing, beneficiation and transportation of rich Mn ores, about 30% of the mined ores are converted into manganese ore fines with low Mn grade (Singh et al., 2011). In India, almost half of manganese ore resources are ferruginous in nature (Singh et al., 2011, Singh and Biswas, 2017).
The sintering process not only improves the quality of steel products, but also releases CO and CO 2 gases, evaporates moisture, and improves the reducibility of iron ore to ensure smooth operation of the blast furnace. These factors are related with variables such as temperature and flux, so optimization is essential.
Energy. Rock drilling, blasting, and comminution (crushing and grinding) consume a vast amount of energy in hard rock mines. As mentioned in Sect. 1, statistics from hard rock mines indicates that drilling and blasting consumes 2% and comminution does 53% of the total energy input in the whole production chain from mining to mineral processing (Spathis 2015), see Fig. 1.
The 'age of the operator' The story of how FreeportMcMoRan learned to rely on an AI model as much as the intuition of veteran mining engineers and metallurgists might not raise eyebrows outside the tech industry.. For mining companies, though, it illustrates a quiet but profound shift into an era we think of as the "age of the operator," when the bestrun businesses wring profits out ...
Thus, the total specific energy for concentrating iron ore at the average ore grade (∼ 50% iron) from Thanatia (% iron) was considered as the sum of the energy for the orehandling process and the energy for concentration. In our model, the minerals for concentration are obtained from Earth's crust; surface mining is assumed.
