Physical Separation ’19 is the fifth in this series of conferences and will feature a keynote address by Prof Sam Kingman, the University of Nottingham, entitled What’s Cooking in Mining? High capacity microwave treatment of ores is an emerging technology and Prof Kingman will discuss the world’s largest microwave processing plants. A focus of the conference will be on methods to reduce energy and water consumption in mineral processing.
Following the conference, a site visit to Wheal Peevor, the only mine in the central mining district around Camborne and Redruth with three engine houses. Two of the engine houses were used to pump water and winch material out of the mine. The third engine house operated 48 heads of Californian stamps for crushing the ore, which was then treated in buddles. The concentrate was calcined to remove arsenic.
