21.haut de la page[ID=167440]Microwave Technology 08 — Microwave Technology in Minerals Engineering
11 Nov 2008 → 12 Nov 2008; Le Cap, Afrique du Sud

Résumé: The potential of microwave technology, which exploits the differing thermal dielectric properties of minerals to enhance grain boundary fracture, has been understood for more than 20 years, but has not been considered commercially viable until recently because of the large amount of energy required. However recent developments, such as pulsed microwave technology may overcome this. As microwave technology is aimed at improving mineral liberation, its major use will probably be in comminution, and will bring real advantages to the processing of ores, such as diamonds, where the valuable mineral needs to be recovered intact. However there are many aspects of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy where the use of microwaves will have importance, and the areas that have been intensively researched over recent years include:
