Abstract
PCT-1729 A SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF FOR OFF SHORE MINING Embodiments of the present disclosure, relates to the field of deep sea mining. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to a system and method of off shore mining for retrieval and extraction of heavy mineral concentrate from placer deposits or other suitable 0 materials. The system comprises a dredge vessel and a barge, coupled in conjunction to the dredge vessel. The dredge vessel having thereon a dredging unit, at least one gravity separator and spiral separators for procurement of total heavy minerals from dredged sediment and debris. The barge is configured to acquire and process the total heavy minerals, wherein the barge has thereon at least one magnetic separator, electro-magnetic separators, and density separators for separation of 5 desired minerals based on their physical properties. The system further comprises at least one discharge conduit for tailing of wastes, leftover after extraction and separation of desired minerals, back into water bodies.
Claims (9)
- 2018101051 30 Jul 2018PCT-1729 at least one discharge conduit (25) for tailing of wastes, leftover after extraction and separation of desired minerals, back into water bodies.
- 2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dredging unit (11) is substantially a bucket wheel dredger or a cutter suction dredger.5
