STET переміг у номінації «Найкраща газета» на Міжнародній конференції ICSOBA

Через пандемію COVID-19, ICSOBA (Міжнародний комітет з вивчення бокситів, Глинозем & Алюміній) Щорічна конференція та виставка, яка повинна була відбутися в жовтні 12-16, 2020 in Jinan, Shandong Province, Китай, was rescheduled to a virtual event held November 16-18.

But that didn’t stop ST Equipment & 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, Вуглець, and Electrolysis—was an extremely difficult task.

В.О. 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 трибоелектростатичний ремінний сепаратор is ideally suited for beneficiating very fine to moderately coarse mineral particles, з дуже високою пропускною спроможністю. Key points to the paper authored by Kyle Flynn (Директор, Розвиток бізнесу), Лукас Рохас Мендоса (Process Engineer), Френк Грача (Віце-президент, Технологічна інженерія), and Abhishek Gupta (Голова, Технологічна інженерія) 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, на відміну від червоного бруду, який має обмежене корисне повторне використання.

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

ST обладнання & 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. We will continue to lead the charge in making the world a better place for everyone.
