Abstract

The present invention concerns a process for recovering cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) and nickel (Ni) from aqueous feed solutions comprising these elements. In the process, the aqueous feed solution is subjected to a first solvent extraction step in which the target elements Co, Mn, and Ni are extracted, leaving magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) in the aqueous phase. The target elements are then selectively stripped from the extraction solution into a Co, Mn and Ni containing solution, from which Mn can be recovered by solvent extraction producing a raffinate containing Co and Ni.

Abstract

A method for oxidation of sulphur oxyanions contained in a stream of aqueous liquid. An aqueous liquid stream containing sulphur oxyanions is mixed, in a sparger device, with at least one oxidant in gaseous form, thereby obtaining, mixed within the aqueous liquid stream, oxidant microbubbles containing reactive radicals species in contact with dissolved or condensed oxidant and the aqueous liquid stream, and/or reactive radicals species in contact with the at least one oxidant in gaseous form and the aqueous liquid stream. The dissolved or condensed oxidant and the reactive radicals species, and/or the at least one oxidant in gaseous form and the reactive radicals species, are allowed to contact sulphur oxyanions contained in the aqueous liquid stream and to oxidize sulphur oxyanions contained in the aqueous liquid stream to sulphate and/or to other sulphur oxidation states, by an oxidative reaction of the sulphur oxyanions with the reactive radicals species, thereby forming sulphate and/or other sulphur oxidation states containing aqueous liquid stream.

Abstract

A method and system adapting a mineral material crushing system between operating and transport configurations. A screen support frame receives and supports a multideck screen with a plurality of stacked screen decks outputting different size fractions at a discharge end. A dividing hopper receives different size fractions from the multideck screen. A chute guides the different size fractions to a chute output position. A platform frame movably supports the screen support frame allowing the screen support frame and the multideck screen move between an elevated operating position and to a lowered transport position. The chute output position laterally resides outside a lateral footprint bordered by the platform frame. The chute moves between chute transport and operating states so that at least a portion of its weight remains carried by the dividing hopper.

A wear sensor, a method for sensing wear occurring to an object, and an equipment subject to wear. A wear sensing system that includes the wear sensor and a measuring device for measuring an amount of wear occurring to an object. The wear sensor includes an electrical circuit having a sequence of discrete elements, each discrete element being capable to temporarily hold a digital data value. The electrical circuit is configured to sequentially transfer the digital data value from a first discrete element on a first edge of the wear sensor to subsequent discrete elements toward a second edge of the wear sensor. Each discrete element is capable of being electrically decoupled from the electrical circuit, sequentially in a direction from the second edge by action of wear on the wear sensor. A number of discrete elements in the sequence is reduced when wear occurs on the wear sensor.
