The shovel-truck system is commonly used in open-pit mining operations. Truck haulage cost constitutes about 26% of open-pit mining costs as the trucks are mostly powered by diesel whose cost is escalating annually. ...
We collected pine dust and Acacia tortilis samples from Zimbabwe and Botswana, respectively.
We then pyrolyzed them in a bench-scale plant under varying conditions. This investigation aimed
to determine an optimum ...
amibia Custom Smelters (NCS) process a range of copper concentrates in their three furnaces, namely; top submerged lance, copper converter and reverberatory furnaces, in order to produce mattes and fayalitic slags. The ...
