STET genyen "Pi bon Papye" nan ICSOBA Konferans Entenasyonal

Akoz pandemik la COVID-19, ICSOBA (Komite Entenasyonal pou etidye nan Bauxite, Aliminyom & Aliminyom) Konferans anyel ak egzibisyon ki te pwograme pou fet oktob 12-16, 2020 an Jinan, Shandong Province, Lachin, te gen yon evenman vityel ki te fet nan Novanm 16-18.

Men, sa pa t sispann Ekipman ST & Technology from scooping up the Best Paper Award in the Bauxite Category for their presentation on Dry Beneficiation of Bauxite Minerals Using a Tribo-Electrostatic Belt Separator.” According to the judges, given the breadth, diversity, and quality of the nominations, picking the winning entries in each of the four categories—Bauxite and Alumina, Bauxite Residue, Carbon, and Electrolysis—was an extremely difficult task.

A ICSOBA Annual International Conference and Exhibition bring experts from around the world together to examine “mine to metal” industry-driven technology, involving participants from the university level, as well as equipment and service providers, to provide a unique forum for discussions and exchanges of ideas.

This was the perfect forum for ST Equipment & Technology to present how our separateur tribo-elektwostatik is ideally suited for beneficiating very fine to moderately coarse mineral particles, with very high throughput. Key points to the paper authored by Kyle Flynn (Direktè, Devlopman biznis), Lucas Rojas Mendoza (Process Engineer), Frank Hrach (Vis pwezidan, Process Engineering), and Abhishek Gupta (Direktè, Process Engineering) included:

  • The capability of the STET separator to beneficiate bauxite samples by increasing available alumina while simultaneously reducing reactive and total silica.
  • A method to upgrade and preconcentrate bauxite deposits for use in alumina production.
  • Water-free processing that results in a reduction in operating costs of refinery due to lower consumption of caustic soda.
  • Savings in energy due to a lower volume of inert oxides.
  • A reduction in the volume of alumina refinery residues (ARR or “red mud”).
  • Increased quarry reserves.
  • An extension of red mud disposal site life.
  • Extended operating life of existing bauxite mines by improving quarry utilization and maximizing recovery.
  • The manufacture of cement clinker in high volumes without pretreatment, in contrast to red mud which has limited beneficial reuse.

The best paper category winners were chosen based on:

  • Contribution to new technology or significant improvement of existing technology.
  • Potential utilization by industry
  • Extensive documentation
  • Excellence of presentation

Sen ekipman & Technology is proud to have been recognized for our work in providing a unique beneficiation process that is both beneficial to mining operations and the environment. Nou ap kontinye dirije chaj la nan fe mond lan yon pi bon plas pou tout moun.
