The first production shop in Russia of refractory gold ores biooxidation using chemoautotrophic microorganisms association was launched in 2001 at Olimpiada gold recovery plant. The shop was designed for treatment of 3 million tons of Olimpiada deposit “Vostochniy” pit primary sulphide ore per year. In 2007 the BIO-2 shop designed for treatment of 5 million tons of primary sulphide ore was launched. Total capacity of the two bio-processing unit is 8 million tons of sulphide ores per year. A more advanced concept of BIO-3 shop was developed based on industrial operation and performance analysis of BIO-1 and BIO-2. The concept was based on biooxidation process automatisation with displaying control and managing parameters of the process on the monitors in control room. This allows to keep main process parameters within the specified limits and maintain process in a stable high-performance state. Installation of the automatisation systems in BIO-1 and BIO-2 shops allowed increasing the throughput of all flotation concentrate treatment shops from 870 t/day to 1200-1300 t/day. This led to production of more than 26 tons of gold in 2016. Currently JSC “Polyus” is copyright holder of patented refractory gold sulphide ores concentrate treatment technology, patented microbial association carrying out the process, and the technology itself is protected by the trademark "BIONORD".
Abstract. The paper presents data on the design and technical parameters of high frequency vibrating screens, which are produced by Chinese manufacturer -company Landsky Tech Ltd. The technology of high frequency vibration is widely used at mining and metallurgical industries to separate fine and ultra-fine particles from the flow of dry material or pulp. The paper contains different types of screening systems, description, advantages and disadvantages of equipment and test results from mineral processing plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
