| Popis | The assessment of processing efficiency becomes increasingly important in the light of current stagnation in the commodity market. Specifically the drop of gold prices pushes many operations to its limits. This study focuses on capabilities of automated mineralogical analysis when searching for gold losses during the ore beneficiation process. The TIMA Bright Phase Search allowed for finding scarcely occurring gold grains in tailings in a fast and efficient way. The device was able to characterize gold grain size, locking and liberation degree in addition providing all necessary data to identify the exact cause gold loss. |
