Controlled charging of mineral surfaces for a successful separation in the electrostatic field

During the project “Controlled charging of mineral surfaces for a successful separation in the electrostatic field“, the charging behavior of mineral surfaces is investigated in order to enable a successful separation in the electrostatic field and to expand the knowledge in the area of triboelectrostatic charging of (industrial) mineral phases. Based on systematic parameter studies, triboelectrostatic charging mechanisms are examined in detail in order to gain a better knowledge of charging behavior and to be able to carry out the separation process in a controlled manner. This is intended to make a scientific contribution for expanding the area of the application of electrostatic separation in dry processing of high-quality filler products, especially in the challenging field of industrial minerals.DiP3-(10) page 1DiP3-(10) page 4

EMJM PROMISE:the new international Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in sustainable mineral and metal processing engineering

Abstract The challenge of attracting young people to the field of mineral processing as well as the ever-growing worldwide demand for minerals and metals together with lower-grade deposits and shortages of energy and water triggered the establishment of the new Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Program PROMISE. The consortium of four mining universities in Europe and Chile aims at master level education on engineering and sustainability issues in mineral processing. The first academic year of PROMISE will start in September 2022
