MiniBond training for customers in South Africa

by Trainings

Our R&D Engineer Specialist, Dr Diego Mesa, conducted an online training for our customer’s technical staff in Johannesburg, South Africa. The training, conducted remotely, included fundamental and practical aspects of the MiniBond Test.

Several clients have shown great interest in this new hardness test, designed by Aminpro for the development of geometallurgical campaigns, allowing the inclusion of the Bond Work Index in block models at lower cost and in less time than the standard Bond test. The current project included the purchase of the new MiniBond mill, technical training and remote analysis of results for calibration.

The following video presents the main features of this new test.

Aminpro is well known for being an innovative company, where research and development of new metallurgical methodologies, equipment, tests and protocols are of great importance.

Given that, 2 of our engineers presented research works at Procemin Geomet 2019, which took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Chile last week. In that international conference, we presented two works related to milling and flotation process.

Aminpro’s participation began on the Thursday 21st of Novembre, with the presentation of Patricio Berrio, Chief of Engineering, titled “The MiniBond test: description, calibration and sources of error”.

The MiniBond offers a more accessible alternative for the generation of geometallurgical data, allowing to include the Bond Work Index in the block models at a lower cost and in less time than the standard Bond test

.On Friday, our Senior Engineer David Barriga presented the work titled “Pilot-scale of Cu-Mo separation as a tool for industrial plant design”, showing the benefits of carrying out pilot-scale tests to compare with the simulation data, in order to generate a better industrial plant design

Pilot-scale tests allow to reduce the risk and uncertainty related to the construction and operation of new industrial plants
