Learning Outcomes
- supervise, manage, and identify geological deposits to obtain a representative sample and select lab comminution (crushing and grinding) tests.
- compare and contrast lab metallurgical testwork and data to determine the optimal comminution design and flowsheet for an ore.
- demonstrate and be able to communicate the principles, chemistry, energy requirements and physical properties of comminution.
- identify comminution operational problems with steps to improve liberation, grinding, metal recovery, reduce costs and ensure closure plans.
- identify, explain and moderate hazards and environmental aspects of comminution.
