🚨 Deadline: 2 weeks away❗ Apply by June 24 📅 $60 million in funding is available to create regional teams to support the development of critical mineral and materials supply chains and novel high-value, nonfuel carbon-based products from unconventional and secondary feedstocks, such as: ☑️ Coal and coal by-products, ☑️ Effluent waters from oil and natural gas development and production, and ☑️ Acid mine drainage. Realizing the critical mineral and materials potential in these feedstocks would enable the United States to rebuild a domestic supply chain for rare earth elements and other critical minerals and materials. Selected projects will continue the work of DOE’s Carbon Ore, Rare Earth and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) Initiative. ➡️ https://bit.ly/45kI9Kh #ICYMI

🌟 Column Flotation: The Future of Mineral Processing for Green Energy 🌟 Column flotation technology has emerged as a game-changer in the mineral processing industry, offering superior energy and mineral conservation, which is crucial for meeting future green energy demands. Here's a breakdown of its advantages and impact: Laboratory and Plant Trial Results: Metallurgical Performance: Column flotation has shown significant improvements in grade, recovery, and impurity rejection compared to mechanical cells. Efficiency: Plant trials confirmed that columns outperformed mechanical cells in grade/recovery curves, impurity rejection, fewer flotation stages, and reduced overall residence time. Cost-Effectiveness: Columns have lower capital and operational expenditures and higher availability. Comparative Analysis: Mechanical Cells: Use a mechanical agitator for slurry suspension and bubble creation, but suffer from short-circuiting, requiring more units in series. Flotation Columns: Lack internal mixers, offering plug-flow residence time and counter-current mixing of bubbles and slurry. Spargers produce bubbles independently, and froth washing improves grade. Application in Mineral Processing: Mechanical Cells: Preferred for middling ores when high recovery is prioritized, such as in roughing stages. Flotation Columns: Provide significant advantages for ores with sufficient liberation, including lower energy consumption, fewer cells, better selectivity (grade), and reduced reagent use. Aligning with Green Energy Goals: Mineral Conservation: Enhances the conservation of valuable minerals. Energy Efficiency: Reduces overall energy consumption in the processing plant. Environmental Impact: Minimizes the environmental footprint of mining operations. Column flotation technology aligns perfectly with the goals of green energy demands, making it a forward-looking solution for the mineral processing industry. By adopting column flotation, we can achieve higher efficiency, cost savings, and a more sustainable future. #MineralProcessing #GreenEnergy #ColumnFlotation #SustainableMining #EnergyEfficiency #EnvironmentalImpact #MiningInnovation #FutureOfMining #MineralProcessing #SkillsDevelopment #LaboratorySkills #Metallurgy #MetallurgicalTraining #ProcessingExperts #ProcessIndustry #ProcessingEfficiency #ProfessionalDevelopment #SiteSpecificTraining Engage with this post and share your thoughts on the future of mineral processing technologies! 🚀 This post emphasizes the advantages of column flotation technology, supported by statistics and comparative analysis, highlighting its relevance for green energy and sustainability in the mineral processing industry.

🔋 ⛏️ Visualizing the Future Demand for Battery Minerals The latest Visual Capitalist infographic, sponsored by Sprott, looks at the critical minerals needed for the electrification of transport. We will need a step-change in critical minerals production, especially for nickel, lithium and cobalt. This means navigating planning and permitting more efficiently promoting greater engagement between policymakers and the industry. With mines taking an average of 16 years to bring into production (in the Western world), many of today's greenfields projects will not be operational by 2030. A balance will also need to be achieved between rapidly expanding critical minerals value chains and ensuring extraction, processing and refining are not detrimental to the environment and communities. Nor are they offshored to third nations with more lenient environmental standards and governance practices. https://lnkd.in/gkFbh8CW #criticalminerals #energytransition #electrification #decarbonization #supplychains #automotive #batterymetals #electricvehicles

A better way to produce copper Nuton, a Rio Tinto venture, aims to produce copper more sustainably, addressing the increasing global demand for copper in renewable energy technologies. Nuton achieves recovery rates of up to 85% from primary sulphide ore, the most abundant type of copper ore, which is significantly higher than traditional leaching technologies. Additionally, it doesn't generate any tailings and eliminates the need for smelting and refining, thereby reducing the environmental impact. Nuton's unique technology allows for up to 85% recovery rates from primary sulphide ore, surpassing alternative leaching methods. The process promotes remediation and site renewal by reducing acid rock drainage and cuts down on energy, carbon, and water consumption per unit produced compared to traditional processes. Nuton improves the economics of extracting copper from primary sulphide, monetizes mineralized waste tailings and low-grade ore, and reduces overall processing costs.
