Coal gangue is a sedimentary rock material associated with coal seams in the process of coal mining and coal washing. Because of its low carbon content and poor strength, it has become one of the largest industrial solid wastes in China [], and the annual output is as high as more than 700 million tons [].Heavy metal elements such as Pb, Sn and As …

Recognizing and distinguishing coal and gangue are essential in engineering, such as in coal-fired power plants. This paper employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to recognize coal and …

Froth flotation is a commonly utilized beneficiation technique for effectively separating apatite from other gangue minerals, such as calcite. It is difficult to achieve good separation with fatty acid collectors due to their similar interactions with apatite and calcite. ... Hydrofloat outperformed the conventional Denver flotation machine ...

Mineral processing involves methods and technologies with which valuable minerals can be separated from gangue or waste rock in an attempt to produce a more concentrated material. ... can be maximized. Advanced data analytics (ADA) techniques including but not limited to machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and …

The most common gangue minerals have been selected in Table 133.1, identifying them with the same symbols (abbreviations) as in Annex 1.3 (Gangue). As Table 133.1 shows, most of the gangue species are classified in only two of the Berzelius classes, namely (in approximate order of decreasing abundance and noting the main …

The associated gangue minerals from limestone and coal mines were identified using three different approaches. All the methods were based on extensions of …

Mineral processing, art of treating crude ores and mineral products in order to separate the valuable minerals from the waste rock, or gangue. It is the first process that most ores undergo after mining in order to provide a …

There are different gangue and secondary minerals (see Section 5.2.3) including efflorescent salts available in the mining waste and tailings (Appendix Tables 1–5), that …

This study showed that an understanding of gangue mineralogy is key to process optimisation for acid-grade CaF2 production. Although an acid-grade CaF2 concentrate could be produced from both …

Compared to other light sources, lasers possess strong anti-interference, directivity, and coherence. ... is a supervised learning model that improves the generalization ability of a learning machine by minimalizing …

The title of the paper should be slightly corrected because the addition of coal gangue is analyzed, so it would be more correct for the title of the paper to be: "Development of backfill concrete including coal gangue and metakaolin and prediction of compressive strength by extreme learning machine".

Gangue minerals are mainly nonmetallic minerals, but also include metal minerals that have no comprehensive utilization value due to their low content, such as pyrite, galena, and sphalerite in copper ores. The proportion of ore minerals and gangue minerals varies with ore types and with rich and poor mineral grades in the same ore. …

The beneficiation of low-grade iron ores is a key research and development topic in the mineral processing industry. The gradual exhaustion of high-grade iron ore reserves, and rising consumer iron and steel demand globally necessitate efficient low-quality iron ore beneficiation to meet steelmaking quality requirements.

Mineralogy and Mineral Assemblages. In the traditional view, supergene ore and gangue minerals are the products of reactions between hypogene sulfide minerals and descending, acidic meteoric waters; these processes take place at or near the ground surface in subaerial environments (Guilbert and Park, 1986). In VMS deposits,

Heap leaching accounts for a fifth of global copper production, sourced primarily from porphyry ores, yet metal recoveries are often not optimal. Gangue, and its interaction with acid, plays an important role in such processes. Thus, a proper understanding of gangue minerals present in the ore, their textural relationships relative …
