Description

Important applications of radiotracer methods in the field of mining and processes of mineral industry such as, crushing, grinding, classification, flotation, storage and drying of products are described. The important aspects which are evaluated include holdup in mills, separation coefficients, critical settling depth and efficiency of equalization. Tracer techniques provide data which are used for control and optimisation of ore dressing systems. In the mining industry the information obtained is useful for design and control of draining systems of mines and ventilation of mines. (author). 18 refs, 9 figs, 1 tab
