Many mining operations rely heavily on the conveyance of slurrified ore or tailings between the various stages of their processing flow sheets. Hydrotransport and slurry pipelines play a vital part in the profitability of the plant, whether transferring ore concentrate from the SAG or ball mills to the primary extraction stage, or feeding flotations cells, hydrocyclones or thickeners.

Members of our physical modelling team have written a white paper on Mass Spectrometry for Real-Time Gas Analysis:

Abstract
This paper presents a calibration approach for quadrupole mass spectrometry used in real-time gas analysis, with emphasis on correcting species-dependent ionization effects through empirically determined relative sensitivity factors. Using a certified span gas containing nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and helium, the method shows that calibrated measurements converge closely to known gas compositions and reproduce expected ambient air concentrations. The results demonstrate improved accuracy and reliability in time-resolved gas concentration measurements for industrial and research applications.

Bubbles matter.

In mining, bubbles separate the ore from the tailings during froth separation. Bubbles in a water- or slurry-filled pipe can cause pipe corrosion. In reactors, the size and distribution of bubbles can limit reaction rates. Bubbles cause pump wear.
