    Underground heavy media separation - who is doing it?

    Thanks for the help, found out that Sullivan Mine in BC and Nanasivik on Baffin Island used it, but both are now closed, also that coal mines, some gypsum mines use it and the diamond mines.

    Underground heavy media separation - who is doing it?

    Does anyone know of a mine that is doing heavy media separation underground? as I understand, it is when the ore is crushed down to 6mm and the waste rock is separated before it is hoisted (or pumped) to surface. thanks,

    Blasting

    All will work. From your point of view, it is only an infrastructure thing to ensure that they reliably work and that there is a back up way of initiating blasts. You may want to involve a mine operator (such as experienced mine captain/general foreman) in this decision once you have identified...

    concrete pumping - pipeline pinging noise

    Hi, Does anyone know how to stop the pinging noise at discharge end of a long pipeline (1000m)? I've been told by some contractors to make an accumulator of air with a tee? I'd like to do some homework before I just start slapping in things to try. Thanks,
