MAJOR WORK EXPERIENCE / HIGHLIGHTS RELATED TO MINERAL PROCESSING DISCIPLINE:
Have the privilege of being engaged in the following activities/project work:
1) Enhancement of flotation recovery from 92.5 % to 94% AT MUFULIRA CONCENTRATOR, ZCCM by incorporating various modifications / suggestions including up gradation / improvement of regrind circuit.
2 ) Revival of Konkola Concentrator, (formerly Bancroft), Chililabombwe, Nchanga Division, ZCCM, Zambia by successfully floating oxides (incorporating differential flotation) from sulphide- oxide ore bodies & commissioning of the new plant which helped improve flotation recovery from 69% to 88/89%.
3) Supervision of Mill Rubber lining installations ( Skega- Sweden) in regrind mills at Mufulira Concentrator, & as well as in primary ball mill in 200MT/hour ball mill at Chambishi Concentrator, Roan Consolidated Copper Mines. With close monitoring life of shell liners was increased by 30% (from 20,000 hrs to 30,000 hrs) whilst that of feed &
discharge end liners were doubled, resulting in massive cost savings.
4) Optimization of Davcra (Column flotation type) cells operation in an effort to maximize cleaner circuit recovery with considerable reduction in re-circulating loads.
5) Incorporated reduced mill feed size to enhance mill throughput & reduce power costs as crushing costs are considerably lower than milling costs & modified crushing & screening circuits accordingly to cater increased recirculating loads.
6) Determined Grind / Concentrate grade / Recovery relationships for various types of ores ( keeping head grade constant).
7) Implementation of float – performance – optimization mechanism through monitoring via a Minexan on stream analyzer (Outo Kumpu Oy make) by having to float pre-set rougher concentrate grade targets on both east & west flotation circuits ( Mufulira Concentrator) when variation on feed grade was widely fluctuating on day to day basis.
8) Establishing a regular tie-up with mine draw control section for obtaining feed back on mineralogy on a daily basis & in turn enabled timely necessary changes to reagent suite & grind coupled with relevant plant operating parameters for steady metallurgical operations.
9) Grinding media plant trials employing white cast iron Vs steel balls & cast steel balls.
10) Plant trial of slugs as grinding media & implementation of recommendations thereof
11) Plant trials of several frothers & collectors at roughing & scavenging operations.
12) Employing of different frothers & collectors at roughing & scavenging stages[ viz: use of more selective collector-SEX ( sodium ethyl xanthate), in roughing whilst stronger one-PAX Potassium amyl xanthate) in scavenging] replacing common collector SIPX with promising results.
13) Commissioning & operational experience of STP (Slag Treatment Plant- Outo Kumpu Oy design) at Khetri, Hindustan Copper Limited,, India & fully conversant with problems associated with its treatment ( slow cooled slag).
14) Possess requisite skills & expertise of treating mixed slimes, sulphides & oxide ore bodies & sand flotation.
15) Have privilege of working in four Concentrators ( Khetri, Khetri Slag Treatment Plant, Mufulira (RCM/ZCCM)), Konkola ( formerly Bancroft, NCCM/ZCCM) besides having active interaction with several other Concentrators during regular interaction as part of company's policy such as Luanshya, Chambishi, Rokana & Chingola etc on Zambian Copper belt.
16) Introduction of swing cells between roughing & scavenging streams to cater to periods of highly fluctuating feed grades to prevent abnormal tail losses & optimize flotation recovery during adverse times whilst shift grades fluctuated on shift to shift basis.
17) Reduction in grinding media consumption in mill primary circuits by optimizing mill operating parameters.
18) Comparison of mill performance operating in closed circuit with cyclones & classifiers & suitable recommendations thereof.
19) Devised high grade spillage treatment for better recovery & uninterrupted float operations.
20) Capably skilled for trouble shooting & resolving complex float control problems related to mineralogical aspects amongst other parameters viz: when carbonaceous quartzite was found to be associated with chalcocite in the mill feed, both being very similar in nature in appearance under the microscope.
21) Associated with study of two stage classification of mill discharge.
22) Involved with the replacement of flotation cells with large flotation Wemco Fagergan cells.
23) Determination of processing mode for recovery of metal values contained in fines (present in final concentrates thickener overflows & scrubber returns) through unconventional routes other than recycling back to float. This had a distinct advantage on the float performance.
24) To improve existing flow sheets & develop new ones as called for.
25) Optimization of Concentrator grade & insoluble relationship / Concentrator recovery Vs smelter recovery in the overall interest of the company.
26) Provided strong metallurgical inputs & trouble shooting skills /support to problem solving campaigns throughout.
