Abstract:
Presented is a book primarily intended as a university text for a general undergraduate course in mineral processing. Major sections of the book include: fundamentals of ore processing; size reduction; sizing separation; concentration separation; dewatering; materials handling; and plant practice. Cleaning of coal is discussed in the chapter on dense medium separation. (JMT)read more

Fuzzy control of pH using genetic algorithms
Charles L. Karr,E. J. Gentry +1 more
TL;DR: Researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Mines have developed a technique for producing adaptive fuzzy logic controllers (FLC’s) that are capable of effectively managing nonlinear, rapidly changing pH systems commonly found in industry.

Hydrothermal breccias in vein-type ore deposits: A review of mechanisms, morphology and size distribution
TL;DR: A review of the main brecciation processes occurring in hydrothermal vein-type deposits allows for the discrimination between chemical and physical mechanisms, including tectonic comminution, wear abrasion, two types of fluid-assisted breccia (hydraulic and critical), volume expansion or reduction, impact and collapse.

A review of surfactants as corrosion inhibitors and associated modeling
TL;DR: A review of surfactants as corrosion inhibitors is designed to provide systemic evaluation of various physical and chemical properties, surfactant behaviors in corrosive environments, and their influence in corrosion inhibition.

The influence of particle size and contact angle in mineral flotation
Russell J. Crawford,John Ralston +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the flotation behavior of quartz particles, whose surfaces have been hydrophobized to varying extents with an organosilane compound, and found that the attachment process is most efficient for particles of about 38 μm in diameter under the experimental conditions.

Electrokinetic properties of kaolinite in mono- and multivalent electrolyte solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the electrokinetic properties of kaolinite have been investigated using the microelectrophoresis technique as a function of solid-liquid ratio, pH and type and concentration of electrolyte.
