ROUND TABLE TOPICS

• Errors in sampling and consequences in metal accounting.
• Sampling improvement for the advance of the plant performance.

• Improving the efficiency of this least efficient circuit in the concentrator
• Improving the shape and particle size distribution for good metal recovery in flotation or in gravity separation
• Improving the electrochemical potential of the grinding circuit product

• Minimizing disturbances in the sulphide flotation processes of problematic minerals such as the iron sulphides pyrite and pyrrhotite, and talc

• Improving sulfide flotation using ``green collectors``, which do not produce carbon disulphide and are more selective.
• Improving metallurgical performance as compared to the single xanthate arrangement.

• Dealing with the treatment of difficult and complex ores that require more sophisticated characterisation and understanding.
• Dealing with the treatment of lower grade minerals containing deleterious elements that require tailored treatment.
• Applying a more sustainable approach including environmental and societal considerations in process mineralogical assessment providing the critical information that stands between failure or collapse and survival or success of some mining operations.
