Comminution Process: How energy-savings can be increased in mining

Mining is known for its long-lasting and resource consuming processes which ultimately lead to an increase in cost and consumption of energy. For instance, the Comminution process, the combination of grinding and crushing, consumes approximately 3% of the total global electricity. In addition, the Coalition for Energy Efficient Comminution (CEEC) states that the process is responsible for 10% production costs. Designs In order to control the energy consumption, different comminution circuit designs undergo a hit and trial approach since there is no standard design that fits every circuit. Samples of the ore are collected and their characteristics are studied comprehensively. The results of this analysis are processed through various comminution designs until the energy savings are maximized. Circuit designers Designers have to choose the appropriate type of mill (solid material crushing device) or design depending upon the characteristics of ore, applications, op...

Range of coal mining solutions provided by private players

Mining minerals and resources from the depths of the planet is not an easy task. It requires an extreme amount of precision, machinery, and planning for successful operations that do not harm the environment. This is the major reason behind hiring premier private players to handle the development and operations of an individual, or series of mines. In order to understand the type of solutions available, here is the list of services offered by one of the major players of Indian mining industry, BGR Mining: Contract Mining Mining projects have a target of extracting a certain level of coal in a given period of time. Private players like BGR Mining focus on achieving maximum efficiency in operations so as to minimize cost and maximize output. This includes mine analysis and corresponding design, planning for execution of fundamental operations, and maintenance of heavy as well as small equipment/machinery. Mine Development and Operations (MDO) This includes th...
