At Comminution Reimagined we want to contribute to a greener planet and a more sustainable mining industry. Our mission is to dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of the mining and mineral processing industry. We have developed a new approach to the extremely energy-intensive process of fracturing mineral-bearing rock ores to liberate valuable minerals. Our mill (known as the ARBS Mill, short for Accurate Rock Breakage System) reduces energy used by as much as 80% and brings several important additional benefits over the mills commonly used by the mining industry today. The ARBS technology also has applications outside of mineral processing (e.g. cement production).

We are opening a new PhD position on sustainable crushing and milling technologies in collaboration with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Centre for Mineral Technology, Vale, and Comminution Reimagined Sweden AB. Spread the word!
Over the past six months, we have had the pleasure of hosting our thesis students, Filip Bohm and Hampus Täikkö, at our Gothenburg office and R&D centre. They have both been pursuing a Master's in Product Development at Chalmers University of Technology and have worked on their thesis project, "Thermo-Mechanical Investigation of Waste Heat for Drying of Material During Milling," supervised by Clive Wynne and Magnus Evertsson. Their research has yielded insightful findings and it has been great having them here, and we appreciate their valuable contributions. We wish them both the best of luck in the future! 🚀🌟 #masterthesis #milling #sustainablemilling #energyefficientmilling #wasteheatutilization #chalmersuniversity #productdevelopment #thermalengineering
Today, we celebrated Swedish Midsummer at our Gothenburg office with some fika! It was fun to share this cherished Swedish tradition with our guests from Australia and international team members. Enjoying traditional strawberry cake and "saft" together added to the festivities. Here's to cultural exchange and good times! Happy Midsummer! 🌞

⛏ Digging deep: Future technology Miniminzing energy use in mineral processing Comminution is the process of crushing and milling rock extracted from the mine into fine particles. It is essential for transforming mineral bearing ores into metals and other industrial materials. The team at startup Communition Re-imagined Sweden (CRS) (led by Prof Magnus Evertsson and Clive Wynne) has developed a grinding method to reduce energy use by up to 80%. Communition consumes around 4% of the world’s electricity and this is set to increase significantly with the demand for minerals to support the green transition. Swedish Mining Innovation has funded CRS' 3-year project focused on proving the technology at pilot scale and developing an updated concept design for a demonstration mill. - Our focus is to industrialize and commercialize a promising new, low energy technology for the fine grinding and milling of rock ores for mineral processing and other industrial applications say Magnus Evertsson and Clive Wynne. ⚡ The ARBS technology ⚡ The ARBS process addresses many of the known problems of conventional circuits. The technology is based on single particle fracture, which is generally accepted to be the most energy efficient comminution method. Initial laboratory tests demonstrated that the fracture energy of the ARBS process can be as low as a remarkable 20% of the circuit energy of a conventional comminution installation. The fracture mechanism of the ARBS process has demonstrated exceptional flotation recovery characteristics, even at comparatively coarse final product top sizes. Together these two factors enable energy savings over conventional circuits in the range of an astonishing 60 - 80% for the equivalent mineral recovery and open the door for further recovery process optimisation. This low energy consumption and the machine design create, for the first time, a very real possibility to power comminution circuits from renewable sources. ⚡What's next?⚡ The team is focusing on developing a robust and reliable design suitable for use in a production environment, either as a demonstration plant, or a small production mill. - Each of our project partners has at least one application where they see the benefits of deploying the new technology, and several other parties have approached us to evaluate the potential to deploy the technology outside of conventional mineral processing. The team is using all these opportunities to upgrade the core mill design concept to be suitable for the larger and more challenging production environment. ⛏Digging deep is a glimpse into some of the many things that the program has contributed to, helped create or enabled since the start in 2013.

Exciting times at the Swedish Mining Research and Innovation Days by Swedish Mining Innovation in Luleå earlier this week! We had the grate opportunity to presenting our SMI project “Energy Efficient Comminution” during the fair. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about our energy efficient technology. Your interest and support mean the world to us. Let's continue shaping the future of mining together! 🌟🌟 #sustainablemining #swedishmininginnovation
Congratulations to Mellisa for being recognized for her splendid master thesis! We're incredibly happy and proud to have such a talented and dedicated individual on our team. Here's to many more successes together!🎉🌟👏 #sustainablemining #SwedishMiningInnovation
Earlier this week, I got to celebrate an honor for my master thesis at the Swedish Mining Innovation event, the Bergforsk Foundation Award. This is given for the best Master thesis project based on innovation and originality, scientific quality of the work and relevance to the Swedish mining industry. The foundation was established by the Swedish mining industry through Boliden, LKAB and Zinkgruvan Mining AB . This was only possible as a result of a collaborative and collective effort. My utmost gratitude for the support, help and guidance goes to my supervisors Jan Rosenkranz, Tommy Karlkvist and Anders Sand, the EMerald Master in Georesources Engineering programme for this opportunity at a fully-funded Masters in Europe, the team at the Luleå University of Technology Mineral processing group, and at the Boliden pilot plant, my tribe of family, friends and mentors. I also acknowledge the support of my current team at Comminution Reimagined Sweden AB for allowing to explore the project further towards investigating ways contribute to more sustainable practices in mineral processing.

We are currently running the #IAmMining photo campaign to showcase #womeninmining at work and make them visible in this amazing global industry. Today we share a picture from Mellisa Tanaka Mundida who is a Mineral Processing Research Engineer at Comminution Reimagined Sweden AB from #sweden. In her words - "This photo was taken at the Boliden pilot plant laboratory in February 2024, 6 months into my role. Part of my role as a research engineer is an exciting balance of sample analysis and experimental work in flotation. Over the part few months, it has been a great experience working with different ores and finding application and observations of various theoretical concepts in mineral processing. Even greater fun has been being surrounded by various supportive engineers and technicians and learning from their expertise." ____ IWiM loves to highlight #womeninmining at their places of work throughout the globe! We celebrate women's presence and resilience doing what they love. Leading up to #IDWIM2024 and beyond, we will share photos submitted to our photo campaign and their accompanying stories.

What is CRS? And what is #ARBS? #ARBS stands for 'Accurate Rock Breakage System.' The process is grounded in the fundamental theory of particle fracture and rock breakage. Our equipment is meticulously designed to achieve minimal energy fracture at an industrial scale, producing a steep particle size distribution and providing precise control over the top size in a sophisticated manner. The short residence time in the machine allows for rapid adjustments to process parameters, offering unprecedented control over the comminution circuit, potentially revolutionizing the field. Our modular technology and mill design are versatile and adaptable to all comminution circuits. Tested at various throughput rates in our pilot plant, the results are remarkable. Field tests reveal that #ARBS utilizes less than 20% of the energy required in conventional comminution, presenting a double win by promising significantly higher flotation recovery due to unique product characteristics. The advantages are abundant, fueling our strong belief that our technology can positively transform the mining and comminution industry.
