ADVANCE YOUR CAREER

Process mineralogy combines mineralogical techniques with mineral process unit operations to identify minerals, their associations and characteristics in order to... establish feasibility concepts at the early stages of geological exploration; design processing flowsheets; specify raw materials and marketable products; troubleshoot plants; and indicate new uses of minerals. Process Mineralogy 2 for Coal and Industrial Minerals is the second of two courses on process mineralogy by the author. It presents application of the basic tools of investigative and analytical mineralogy with respect to coal and industrial minerals, illustrated by numerous examples, including... coal petrology; industrial minerals: diatomite, clay and calcium carbonate; and industrial minerals: structural clay, glass, cement and advanced ceramics. Together with the companion course, Process Mineralogy 1 for Metals (which also covers the investigative and analytical tools of process mineralogy), this course provides an excellent introduction to process mineralogy for all mining disciplines.

Metso, like its customers, understands the pressures imposed by rapidly changing technology, and the need to do more with less. In this new business environment, education and training programs have even greater importance in the maintenance and development of a company’s intellectual capital, arguably it’s most important asset. To address the needs of the plant operators, Metso Technology Development has developed a unique computer based training system (CBT). It focuses on generic principles aimed at equipping people with the knowledge to make safer, faster and better decisions. Flotation 3 - Circuits is a course for process engineers, mill operators and mineral processing students. This course is the third of a suite of three courses on flotation from Metso Performance Solutions... other titles include Flotation 1 - Fundamentals and Flotation 2 - Unit Operations. A partial list of topics covered by this course include Flotation Circuit Basics, Copper Circuit Example and Copper-Zinc Circuit Example. In recent years the mineral processing industry has downsized its labor force, installed new technology with larger equipment and incorporated plant wide automation, all in an effort to improve productivity and performance while maintaining operating cost at a minimum. As a consequence of these actions the operator is now required to make more and better informed decisions. To meet the educational needs at the mill operation level Metso has developed a Computer Based Mill Operator Education Program. The full program includes a suite of mineral processing courses for mill operators and process engineers on Grinding and Flotation which have been adapted for Web presentation on Edumine. The program is presented by Edumine as online self-paced, self-learning courses. The courses include online certification as well as performance tracking and reporting. For information on the courses, contact support@edumine.com. Well trained operators mean higher profits, more throughput, safer operation, better morale, better grade and recovery and improved communication. A course for process engineers, mill operators and students. Flotation Circuits is the third of a suite of three courses on flotation theory and practice from Metso Performance Solutions. Topics include Flotation Circuit Basics, Copper Circuit Example and Copper-Zinc Circuit Example.

Probability graphs display a data set as a cumulative distribution. The most significant use of probability graphs applied to mineral exploration data is in the recognition of the number of populations in a data set, and the partial or complete partitioning of individual values into their respective groups or populations. The significance of the resulting groupings or populations of data must be interpreted. Interpreting probability graphs is largely a matter of understanding the implications of the patterns that result when data sets are plotted. These implications are not always fully appreciated, and in some cases, the conclusions drawn from the probability graphs are incorrect. In this course, you will learn how probability graphs can supplement analyses done using histograms, and how this can be beneficial when interpreting mineral exploration data. The course explains data distributions and populations. You will learn that probability graphs are an easy way to estimate the forms of distributions and their parameters. They are a useful tool to present and analyze many types of numeric data that are the product of mineral exploration programs. The course also highlights general advantages, but also limitations of using probability graphs, and provides useful procedure tips to draw up the graphs. Note that this course assumes a working knowledge of simple statistical concepts (e.g. arithmetic mean, variance, standard deviation, normal density distribution, etc.). The course content uses a clear-cut, idealized approach illustrated by real life practical examples used throughout the mining industry. The Appendix includes a variety of interpretations of published probability graphs with alternate interpretations and discussion on the analytical approaches used by the original publications.

El curso "Molienda 2 - Operaciones unitarias" está dirigido a ingenieros de procesos, operadores de molinos y estudiantes. Este es el segundo curso de una serie de tres cursos sobre teoría y práctica de molienda de Metso Performance Solutions. Los otros dos cursos son "Molienda 1 - Principios fundamentales" y "Molienda 3 - Circuitos". Los temas abarcados incluyen: molinos de tambor, ciclones, trituradores de cono, harneros vibradores y equipos auxiliares. En años recientes, la industria de procesamiento de minerales ha reducido su fuerza laboral y ha instalado nuevas tecnologías con equipos más grandes y ha incorporado la automatización en toda la planta; todo esto en un esfuerzo para mejorar la productividad y el desempeño y minimizar los costos operativos. Como consecuencia de estas acciones, el operador debe tomar más decisiones informadas. Para satisfacer las necesidades educacionales al nivel de operación del molino, Metso Performance Solutions ha desarrollado un programa computacional de educación para el operador del molino. El programa completo incluye una serie de cursos de procesamiento de minerales para operadores del molino e ingenieros de procesos en molienda y floración, los cuales se han adaptado a cursos en línea de Edumine (detalles disponibles en info@metso.com). Contar con operadores bien capacitados significa una mayor rentabilidad, mayor rendimiento, mayor confianza, mejor grado y recuperación y mejor comunicación.

  El proceso de cianidación para la extracción de oro y plata de la mena se ha empleado desde 1898, cuando se usó por primera vez en Nueva Zelandia y África, y luego en Estados Unidos. Es un proceso muy eficaz, capaz de extraer oro en cantidades inferiores a un 1% de onza a partir de una tonelada de roca con más del 90% de eficacia.Dado que existen riesgos medioambientales, un plan de manejo de cianuro es de vital importancia para una mina en funcionamiento. En algunas ocasiones, al no existir dicho plan, se han producido incidentes relacionados al cianuro que han sido adversos para el medio ambiente. El Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (UNEP) está desarrollando un código internacional para el manejo de cianuro. La implementación y la adherencia a este código, aumentada por el juicio de científicos e ingenieros experimentados, servirá para reducir la cantidad y la gravedad de incidentes relacionados con el cianuro.Los cursos de "Manejo del cianuro en minería" ofrecen al usuario los antecedentes necesarios para el desarrollo de un plan de manejo de cianuro que cumpla con los requerimientos únicos de cada mina en funcionamiento. Los temas que se tratan en esta serie incluyen: 1: Chemistry of Free and Complexed Cyanide 2: Analysis of Cyanides 3: Geochemical Properties and Environmental Fate of Cyanide 4: Toxicity and Environmental Properties of Cyanide 5: Water Management and Discharge Strategies 6: Treatment Technologies for Cyanide and Related Compounds "Estrategias de gestión y descarga de aguas" es el quinto en una serie de seis cursos y abarca los componentes de un plan de gestión de aguas incluido el balance de aguas, manejo de cianuro, prácticas de gestión de aguas y plantas de tratamiento y descarga.Este curso abarca 8 sesiones, cada una de 30 a 60 minutos de duración, más figuras, tablas y referencias complementarias, además de tres revisiones interactivas que confirman los logros de los objetivos de aprendizaje.
