Technology features DEC
The technology boasts environmental friendliness and safety. Its compact design, mobility, and dry enrichment method facilitate direct placement within site development areas, significantly reducing transportation costs. This approach also minimizes the environmental impact on production regions, directing over 70% of the enrichment "tailings" directly into the worked-out space.
The production cycle of technological processes eliminates the need for capital construction costs, ensuring relatively low energy consumption. With high-quality manufactured products, there is no requirement for water resources and chemical reagents. This drastically reduces the environmental impact and enhances production's environmental performance by eliminating water use in the enrichment process.
Extraction and enrichment can occur year-round and on various terrains, unaffected by extreme temperatures. The technology incurs minimal staff and labor costs, eliminating the need for remediation expenses.
The extraction process can recover minerals lost during primary processing, and if additional minerals, such as rare earth metals, are discovered at the mining site, the line can be reconfigured accordingly. The ability to pre-configure the line based on manufacturing samples and during transitions to different fields reduces non-productive time to 2-3 days.
The water-free enrichment technology opens up opportunities for developing deposits in hot and desert areas where water scarcity is acute, such as in China.
In summary, the use of this technology allows:
Significant reduction in total capital costs and implementation time compared to alternative options.
Substantial increase in the reliability and maintainability of complex equipment in the processing industry.
Simplification of infrastructure supporting the enrichment industry.
Spatial and territorial compaction of enrichment production.
Reduction in the volume and weight of building structures required for the operation of the enrichment line.
The possibility of employing the block-modular principle, enabling periodic mobility of the technological line.
Furthermore, when developing mineral deposits using the mining method, our technological equipment can be situated directly at the extraction site, avoiding additional costs associated with lifting raw materials. Instead, the voids resulting from raw material extraction can be filled with products remaining from processing.
This dry enrichment method has undergone industrial testing for gold ore and sands, showcasing its main advantage: selective mining of deposits with the potential placement of an enrichment plant near the mining face. The integrated use of mineral raw materials, particularly as suitable building materials for delivery to consumers, sets this method apart from existing technologies. This advantage is particularly evident in the development of fields located in areas with sharp temperature fluctuations, allowing continuous production despite harsh climatic conditions.
