Interfering Gangue Minerals and Penalty Elements Services
Interfering Gangue Minerals; Mine sites with depleted high-grade ores need to use a dynamic approach for maximizing production rates. These ore bodies typically contain gangue materials that cause operational issues, including low throughput, low recovery, and low grade.
We provide strategies for selectively rejecting interfering gangue mineral groups that contain:
- Talc
- Clays
- Sliming Clays
- Swelling Clays
- Smectite
Neo-Solutions has a core competency in dealing with these interfering mineral groups. Mine site waste-ore rankings often improve when our expertise is applied to a mineral processing operation.
Penalty Elements
Penalty elements can decrease concentrate grade, cause regulatory issues, and impact production of downstream refinery operations. The optimized removal of penalty elements requires a detailed study of the mineralogy combined with well-designed reagent selection and plant application plans.
The penalty elements we can help you reject include:
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Magnesium
- Bismuth
- Cadmium
- Phosphorus
- Fluorine
- Aluminum
