MINING METHOD. Red Dog is an open-pit mine using conventional truck-and-shovel methods with special provisions for operating in the Arctic climate. High grades, low stripping ratio (0.8:1) and short haul distances result in the low mining rate of 10,000t/d. Bench heights are 7.6m and pit slopes vary depending on wall material.

The principal ore of zinc used for its extraction is Zinc blend ( Z n S). As Zinc blend is a sulphide ore, the process used for its concentration is the Froth Floatation Method. The concentrated ore is then roasted in excess air at 1200 K to obtain zinc oxide ( Z n O). It is then reduced to Z n by coke at a temperature of 1673 K.

Zinc mining process. More than 80% of zinc is extracted from underground mines. 8% of zinc is mined in open pits, while the remaining 12% is mined by these two methods. Once removed from the soil, the concentrate is baked at a temperature of 950 degrees Celsius, which oxidizes zinc, sulfur and iron. The zinc and iron oxides will be …

The next step in the extraction of zinc is called roasting. The concentrated ore is finely ground into small pieces and then suspended in a rising stream of air. The sulphur content can be reduced hugely with this process. This also converts the zinc blende to ZnO which is way more reactive. The reaction occurring here is.

In the neutral leaching process of zinc hydrometallurgy, the pH value directly affects the leaching rate of zinc calcine. However, due to the complex mechanism of the leaching process and the frequent fluctuation of working conditions, it is difficult to control the pH value by manual control. Therefore, this paper proposes a fuzzy control method …
