A mining plant that processes ore and construction waste combines traditional mineral extraction with sustainable recycling practices. Here’s an overview of how such a facility might operate:
1. Ore Processing
- Crushing & Grinding: Raw ore is crushed and ground into smaller particles.
- Separation: Techniques like flotation, magnetic separation, or leaching extract valuable metals (e.g., gold, copper, iron).
- Tailings Management: Waste material (tailings) is stored safely or repurposed.
- Sorting & Shredding: Demolition debris (concrete, bricks, asphalt) is sorted and shredded.
- Screening: Materials are separated by size; metals are recovered via magnets or eddy currents.
- Reprocessing: Crushed concrete/asphalt can be reused in new construction projects.
- Resource Efficiency: Maximizes ore recovery while recycling construction waste.
- Environmental Sustainability: Reduces landfill use and raw material demand.
- Economic Viability: Generates revenue from both ore sales and recycled materials.
- Crushers & screens
- Magnetic separators
- Ball mills/flotation cells (for ore)
- Concrete/asphalt crushers
- Sorting conveyors
