Contents
- historical background of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy - changing scopes of mineral industry to meet recent challenges in materials conservation and recycling. European and world wide perspectives: economic and sociopolitical aspects - preparation equipment and facilities used in raw minerals processing and their relevance to secondary resources and residues treatment - methods for multi-scale characterisation of particlulate systems and their relevance to automation and process control in mineral industry - principles of physical, physicochemical and chemical (hydrometallurgical) separation - criteria for processing flow-sheet design in scenarios for treatment different raw/residual materials - implication of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy methods for sustainable utilization of resource and enviromental protection
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to: - understand the basic principles of common mineral and ore-processing techniques used in nowadays mining and extractive metallurgy - understand methods of particle characterisation and measurement and their implication for materials separation - describe case studies dealing with utilization of mineral separation techniques in the niche of value-added materials recovery from secondary resources and treatment of technogenic wastes as well - get acquainted in what the recycling and environmental protection industry could learn from the mineral industry
