Progressive flotation machines and auxiliary equipment of the world

I am writing a book “Progressive flotation machines and auxiliary equipment of the world”. This information will be used to create algorithms and programs within the “Mineral Benefication Information System” for the selection and calculation of equipment for flotation. I need information about your equipment and your services.

I create “Mineral Benefication Information System” by the following criteria:
1. The design and principle of operation of the flotation machine
2. What physical processes occur in the flotation machine of this type.
3. Types of aeration used in this machine
4. For which types of flotation, you can use a flotation machine of this type. Expansion of the scope of activities.
5. Improving flotation control
6. Advantages
7. Disadvantages
8. Prospects for modernization and improvement
9. Recommended reagent modes and schemes
10. Methods for calculating flotation machines
11. Other.
This data does not exist anywhere. I will analyze every machine myself. Often, manufacturers of flotation machines themselves do not know all the advantages of their machines, which limits the scope of their use.
Feel free to offer me everything you have not only for flotation, but also other equipment for the separation of minerals.

CLASSIFICATION OF MINERAL DEPOSITS AND RAW MATERIAL RESOURCES. Author of classification is Ph.D. Natalia Petrovskaya

 

 1.1. These are the richest deposits.

This is an elite club. Extraneous are not allowed there.

Owners are State-owned companies or The Bloomberg Billionaires and The Forbes Billionaires. For example, Gina Rinehart,  Andrew Forrest  (Australia), Iris Fontbona (Chile), Rinat Akhmetov (Ukraine), Vladimir Kim (Kazakhstan), Viktor Rashnikov, Vladimir Lisin, Roman Abramovich, Oleg Deripaska, Vladimir Potanin, Alexei Mordashov, Dmitry Rybolovlev (Russia) and other.

2.1. - 2.n. Unprofitable mineral deposits. These are very poor deposits, or deposits for which cost-effective technology does not exist. The development of new technologies may take decades. This is the will of chance and good luck. But brokers and geologists do not want to wait long and sell under the guise of "deposits for underground leaching". 

Currently, I often meet many projects where they offer in situ leaching of ores (In situ leaching, In-situ leaching (ISL), in-situ recovery (ISR), solution  mining).
In situ leaching leaching (ISL) is a miracle or a new advertising move? 

Sometimes this is a way to sell you a poor deposit under the guise of a new trend!

3.1. - 3.n. Technogenic deposits (Anthropogenic deposits).

My personal opinion: Modern technogenic deposits are formed as a result of the use of bad technology.  

Recycling is the reprocessing of waste.
I have been engaged in recycling of mining and metallurgical wastes for more than 25 years, so I am very well versed in this field. Often recycling is of positive significance. I know such examples.
However, recently the concept of "recycling" has been used in questionable schemes.
The purpose of such schemes is to make you pay several times for the same product

You can read in more detail here Recycling of mining waste. Who will make a profit?

4.1. - 4.n. Secondary raw materials from which finished products are obtained.

For example,

• The medals for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics were made through the recycling of small electronic devices.

• Processing of non-ferrous scrap metal in giant shaft furnace.

5.1. Occurrences are not deposits, but brokers actively sell them.

For example, under the guise of REE deposits, they can sell an occurrence containing apatite, thorite, fluorite, brockite and many others. Such “deposits” are unpromising for the production of REE.

We can give a lot of such examples. We presented in the table only a few real examples

5.2.  Industrial waste. We know many examples where different tailing dumps, slurry waste, overburden rock (also called waste or spoil) are sold under the guise of mineral deposits.

A good mineral deposit is a rare find. Not every occurrence of minerals is a true mineral deposit.

BREAKTHROUGH IN FUTURE OF MINING

 

 

Let's assume that you are behind in the development of mining. 

How did it happen that even weak and poor competitors have overtaken you? What to do?

I suggest that you bypass the path of traditional development and make a leap forward.

My cherished goal: The system scans the terrain, finds a mineral deposit and offers 5-10 competing technologies for processing minerals.

While the creeping empiricist is still huddling with ore in the lab and is spending $ 1000 or more on one experiment, you are sitting in a cozy office, and various automatic devices do research work for you in a few minutes or hours.

You do not need hundreds of specialists in the field of mining, but only a few people to interact with the expert system. An independent expert system will describe the real situation (only if it is correctly taught) and will give you the accurate way of solving the problem. The system has no fear of being fired for a negative forecast and it has no a desire to delay the solution of the problem and raise the salary. The system has no jealousy for a more talented and successful fellow researcher, there is no desire to lime it to the detriment of the common cause. Now you know where to go and where our goal is.

We are ahead, and competitors are outsiders, who are compelled to overtake us.

Let's say that you went the traditional way. You invested hundreds of billions of dollars. You have trained hundreds of new specialists, opened new research institutes and laboratories, and issued hundreds of scientific grants. And so, 50-100 years passed, but a miracle did not happen. Your money flows like water into the sand. You did not wait for the expected result. In addition, subsequent generations of researchers and industrialists also went the wrong way. I know many such examples. If a researcher can just "eat money" for years without getting the expected final result, then he will do so (Murphy's Law). The increase in funding for research will only exacerbate this situation.

Why is this happening? Because you go a long and thorny traditional way. You do everything like everyone and repeat their mistakes. If you have not yet done this, then stop, and do nothing. This will save your money for the present business. Do not spend money in vain is to earn money! Machines do not need money!

Join us, and you can make a breakthrough in mining with us!
