The process of blending consistent and predictable feed for the roasters is critical to optimizing product quality and controlling production costs. To assist in this process, Online PGNAA Slurry Analyzers have been installed and evaluated at a Sudbury Ontario smelter. They are used to measure 100% of the full process stream to obtain elemental composition data in real time
Improving the Process of Blending Consistent and Predictable Feed in the Nickel Smelting Process Using PGNAA Technology.pdf
Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) provides near real-time elemental analysis for 100% of the material flow Both on-belt and on-pipe applications PGNAA has been adopted by various mineral operations in the past few years to help improve process control. While PGNAA Analyzers are industry standard for most coal and cement operations, they are only now beginning to become more prevalent in many mineral applications
For its technical journal, Minerals & Metallurgical Processing , where specialists talk to specialists, it seemed less useful, or worse. To an editor of peer-reviewed papers on mineral processing, the AP guide offered a tsunami (new entry 2009) of advice I was unlikely to ever need: primers on covering mergers and acquisitions, the proper spelling and usage of terms from African-American and bobblehead to Girl Scout Cookies and water sports, a special section on media law
