Extract More Efficiencies from Your Mineral Processing Operation
The key to success in this part of your business is efficiency, where you aspire for maximum ore recovery and grade at the lowest possible expense. Securing greater process visibility and utilizing advanced process control can help you in that endeavor – improving mineral liberation while reducing energy, water and chemical consumption. So whether you’re employing a concentration, hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical process, choose Emerson. We’ll work with you to optimize operations while also ensuring the greater availability of production assets.
Concentration
Your concentration process is comprised of many distinct, yet interrelated circuits of operation including grinding, classification, flotation and thickening. Given their interdependencies, inefficient operation within a given circuit can easily cascade to downstream processes; or worse, equipment breakdowns can reverberate to all parts of your process. Emerson can work with you to overcome these challenges. Our technology and expert staff can deliver better insight into process variables, commission a more robust process control strategy, and help you shield your operation from unplanned equipment downtime.
Hydra Metallurgy
Whether you’re looking to process oxide ores or simply a way to recover minerals from low-grade ore, hydrometallurgy is a viable, cost effective option. Efficiently extracting metal requires balancing acidity, reagent additions, and the performance of organic compounds. And keeping your recovery costs below the metal’s value requires carefully controlling resident time, and closely regulating leaching, water consumption, acidity, aeration, and liquid flows. Emerson can help you get the maximum recovery from your hydrometallurgical process while supporting your goals of keeping your people and the environment safe.

Pyrometallurgy
Challenge: Getting safe, uninterrupted, and efficient operation in a smelter’s harsh environment requires you to quickly detect disturbances and correct them. If you don’t properly control your furnace temperature, its service life and throughput will suffer significantly—and even a small water-circuit coolant leak can have catastrophic consequences. You also have to minimize emissions of particulates and sulfur oxides to keep from violating environmental regulations and endangering your staff and the local community. All the while, you need to build the bottom line with long periods of efficient production that aren’t interrupted with unnecessary shutdowns or false alarms.
Solution: Protect your operations and your staff from dangerous leaks with Emerson’s Rosemount magmeters, which feature extensive diagnostics and in situ calibration, and can withstand the harsh conditions around a smelter. By utilizing our extensive line of transmitters and sensors for flow and temperature, you’ll add reliable measurements that will continue running in the smelting environment so that you reduce the chance of downtime. And using advanced control capabilities, you’ll be able to improve smelter operations—and your bottom line—by optimizing combustion and increasing long-term stability.
