Silica sand crushing & screening plant

Silica sand crushing & screening plant is the widely used sand making plant to produce large scale high quality silica sand substitute for river sand, from quartzite, or quartz sand.

Silica sand crushing plant

The quartzite (quartz sand) is mined from deposit quarry, then the raw materials will be transferred to a stockpile for Primary crushing. In the Primary jaw crusher, the raw quartz sand is fed via a vibrating feeder from hopper. After primary crushing, the crushed quartz will be fed into cone crusher for fine crushing, then it will be sent to VSI crusher (sand making machine) for final sand making.

In the silica sand manufacturing plant, sometimes ball mill is used as silica sand grinding machine. It is can be used as fine crushing machine for glass making plant.

Silica sand screening plant

After crushing, the quartz sand will be sieved into different grades by vibrating screen. The grain size meet the demands will be collected, while the others will be transferred to sand making machine for further crushing. The sizing screen for silica sand is usually double-deck vibrating screen or triple-deck screen.

The common grain sizes in the silica sand making plant are: 0-0.5mm, 0.5-1mm,1-1.5mm, 1.5-2mm,2-4mm. These sand is widely used in building, construction and foundry industries. Some fine silica sand such as silica powder is used for glass making.

Yatela Gold Mine, Mali

Yatela is an open-pit gold mine located 50km southwest of the city of Kayes in Mali. It covers an area of 195km2 and is 80% owned by the Sadiola Exploration Company (SADEX), a joint venture of AngloGold Ashanti and IAMGOLD. The remaining 20% stake in the mine is owned by the Mali Government.

"Yatela is an open-pit gold mine located 50km southwest of the city of Kayes in Mali. It covers an area of 195km2."

Operations at the Yatela gold mine officially commenced in September 2001 with an initial mine life of ten years. The mine was constructed a month ahead of schedule and below budget at $73 million.

It was designed to produce 1.4 million ounces (oz) of gold in the first six years at an average grade of 3.6 grams per ton (g/t).

The mine was operated towards the western end of the pit and was nearing closure in 2009. It was originally scheduled to close down in 2010. An 18 month exploration programme that began in October 2010 however increased the resource base and mine life up to early 2012.

The exploration programme was approved in May 2009 at an investment of $14.9 million. Drilling performed adjacent to the main Yatela pit and in the northeast of the Alamoutala satellite pit projected encouraging results, due to which an additional $2.2 million was approved to proceed with the extension.

Background to operations at the Yatela gold mine

Small scale mining was carried out for more than 300 years in the Kayes region of Mali.

The Yatela deposit was identified by SADEX during the exploration of Sadiola deposit in 1987. Yatela concession was then owned by Eltin of Australia who had also been exploring the region. In 1997, SADEX signed an agreement to buy the concession from Eltin and the transaction was materialised in 1998.

The feasibility study was conducted by AngloGold in 1999 following the receipt of development permit in 2000 from the Mali Government. AngloGold was later merged with Ashanti to form AngloGold Ashanti.

Geology and reserves of the mine area

The Yatela deposit is located in the north of the Malian portion of the Keniéba-Kedougou window with Kofi formation sediments. These sediments comprise of carbon-rich and impure lime stones with minor tuffs and acid volcanics.

The total reserves at the time of commencement of production were 1.34 million tons (mt) grading at 3.7g/t and the total measured and indicated resources were 28mt at 2.5g/t.

As of December 2010, the proven and probable reserves totalled 1.51mt graded at 1.6g/t of gold.

The attributable production in 2011 is expected to be in the range of 31,000oz to 32,000oz.

Mineralisation of the Kayes region of Mali

Mineralisation occurs in the troughs developed over the carbonates. The troughs are 220m deep and comprise of unconsolidated ferruginous sand and clay.

The ore zone lies on top of the thick layer of angular blocks belonging to Seroukoto sandstone and shale which in turn is covered by a fine sand unit consisting of pisolithic gravel layers and laterite rubble.

Mining and processing at the Yatela open-pit gold mine

Ore from the mine is extracted from the main pit as well as the satellite pit at Alamouta. The main pit is 1,300m in length, 600m wide and 220m deep.

"Operations at the Yatela gold mine officially commenced in September 2001."

The mined ore is treated at a heap-leach pad and carbon loading that was commissioned in 2001. The extracted ore is crushed in the agglomeration drum and the output is transported by an overland conveyor, mobile conveyor and radial stackers to build a three-lift heap leach pad.

Cement added during agglomeration ensures structural stability and adequate filtering up to the lower lifts. A cyanide solution is pumped through the pipes to feed the pads for filtering purposes. The solution is pumped through carbon-filled columns to strip gold.

The carbon is eluted and the gold is trucked to the smelter at nearby Sadiola processing plant.

Coal processing equipments in South Africa

South Africa is not only rich in metal mining, but also rich in the nonmetal mining resources. For example, the coal reserve is the seventh of the world.

Many producers produce coal aggregates, the coal crushing plants are able to satisfy their requirements. Many producers produce coal powders or process coal ash; in this case, the coal grinding machineries are very important.

Coal crusher plants

The commonly process of coal crusher plants in South Africa are similar with each other. Jaw crushers crush big coal lumps to small ones when they dig out from well or from deposits. It is really a easy work for Double jaw crusher. Actually, Double jaw crushers can be used to crush numerous mining ores and different stones, such as granite, marble, basalt, gravels, limestone, gypsum, clay, manganese ore, chrome ore, iron ore, gold ore, copper ore and zinc ore and so on.

As to the impact crushers, if the raw coal size is not very big, they can crush the lumps to small particles directly; if the raw coal size is big, impact crushers are used behind the jaw crushers. Though the application of impact crushers is wide, but impact crushers should used in crushing soft materials. If the coal deposit is small and producers just want to build one small coal production line in South Africa, Double hammer crushers are really good choices. Also, the output size of hammer crusher is quite small and adjustable, no other better machines are better than them in this function.

Coal grinding process

In the coal grinding process, ball mill and LM series grinding mills are widely used. It is well-known that many factors must be cared when producers grind coal powders, for example the inflammability. Double LM series grinding mill and ball mill well solve these problems.
