Description
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOVING MAGNETIC MATERIAL FROM
GRINDING CIRCUITS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present innovation relates to apparatuses and methods used to remove magnetic materials from grinding circuits, for example in the mining and minerals industries.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The mining and minerals industries utilize various devices to separate valuable minerals from host contaminants after extraction from the earth. Initially the ore preparation procedure typically involves crushing ore from several feet in size down to approximately 1-3 inches in a crusher (e.g. gyratory, cone or jaw crushers). The preliminary crushing step is typically followed by one or more stages of grinding to reduce the ore to an average size of less than 1 mm (generally between 75 and 300 microns). The grinding stage typically utilizes large rotating cylindrical mills (e.g. ball or semi-autogenous grinding ("SAG") mills) containing grinding media such as spherical steel balls. The balls are in a constant tumbling motion due to the rotation of the mill. The ore is typically fed into one end of the mill, it progresses through the grinding chamber and is discharged from the opposite end. As the ore progresses through the mill the grinding media impacts the material resulting in fracture and breakage of the individual pieces of ore into smaller particles.
The tumbling motion of the grinding media results in the fracture of the grinding media (e.g. the steel balls). Additionally, mechanical abrasion will wear the grinding media surface causing a reduction in size of the grinding media. The result of this process is generation of various shapes of steel which are significantly smaller than the original spherical ball. A new grinding ball will typically range from 3 to 5 inches in diameter. The broken or worn ball components can be as large as a hemisphere of the original ball or fragments having dimensions of less than 1/4 inch. Depending on the mill design, these

2 fragments will discharge with the mineral/crushed material and report to downstream equipment.
The ball fragments cause numerous problems in ore processing facilities. Most notably such fragments increase wear on downstream equipment within the grinding circuit, for example on pumps, piping and valves. The costs associated with maintenance downtime and equipment rebuild can be substantial.
Secondly, such fragments negatively impact mill efficiency (i.e. lower throughput).
The circuit design for most grinding operations is such that a large portion of the fragments that discharge the mill will return with the new feed to the grinding circuit. As a result, a substantial build-up of fragments can occur in the grinding mill occupying volume that would otherwise be filled by mineral slurry. This loss in active mill volume can de-rate the mill capacity by as much as approximately 10%. Furthermore, the small mass of the fragments does not provide a sufficient impact force to effectively fracture the mineral particles in the mill. Third, the recovery of precious metals by downstream gravity concentrators is reduced and downstream upgrading (tabling) is less efficient. For example, the steel particles report in very high proportions to a gravity concentrate, such as a Knelson concentrate, which recover heavy particles. The amount of unwanted steel in a Knelson concentrate typically varies from 15%-45%.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figures 1-6 depict exemplary embodiments of an apparatus for removing magnetic material from a grinding circuit. As shown the apparatus may contain a screening device 10, an outfeed table 20 and a magnetic device 30. The screening device 10 is configured to separate undersized material from oversized material. At least a portion of the outfeed table 20 is positioned below the screening device 10 so that the outfeed table 20 can recieve the oversized material from the screening device and therafter spread the oversized material into a layer. At least a portion of the magnetic device 30 is located above the outfeed table 20 and is configured so that magnetic material which is present in the layer of oversized material on the outfeed table 20 can be removed. In some embodiments, the outfeed table is non-vibrating. The screening device 10 ahead of the outfeed table 20 is advantageous in that such an arrangement provides a higher efficiency of magnetic material removal, as the layer of oversize material can be thin.
The outfeed table 20 is advantageous in that in some embodiments it is stationary (i.e. - non-vibrating) and spreads out the oversize material into a layer thereby allowing more efficient and easier collection of magnetic material via closer magnetic attraction by the magnetic device 30 thereby requiring a smaller or lesser powered magnetic device 30 to be used.
Additionally, the outfeed table 20 allows the magnetic device to be placed in closer proximity to the oversized material without risking the screening device 10 damaging the magnetic device 30 and resulting in a more efficient magnetic material recovery from the oversize material layer. For example, the outfeed table 20 can spread out the oversize material into a layer thereby allowing more efficient and easier collection of magnetic material via closer magnetic attraction by the magnetic device 30 thereby requiring a smaller or lesser powered magnetic device 30 to be used.

8 In an exemplary embodiment, there may be an oversize discharge 40 located adjacent to a first end of the screening device 10 for collecting oversize material as is passes off of the first end of the screening device 10. An oversize discharge 40 may also be positioned adjacent to a first end 24 of the outfeed table 20 for collecting additional oversize material as is passes off of the first end 24 of the outfeed table 20.
One or more washing devices 50 (e.g. a spray header) may be positioned e.g. on or above the screening device 10, between the screening device 10 and the outfeed table 20 and/or between the outfeed table 20 and the oversize discharge which is positioned adjacent to a first end 24 of the outfeed table 20 for collecting additional oversize material as is passes off of the first end of the outfeed table 20. The washing devices are operatively configured to wash the oversized material. Washing the oversized material is advantageous in that it reduces contaminants on theoversized material which allows for better quality and more desirable magnetic material being collected by the magnetic device 30. Washing the oversized material also increases the value of the product due to a low contaminant level.
As shown in Figure 8, in an exemplary embodiment, the screening device 10 is a vibrating screen. In other embodiments the screening device can be other well known types of screens in the art, for example static screens or sieve bend screens. As shown in Figure 8, the vibrating screen 10 may contain a vibrator (or motor) 13 for exciting or moving a screen 12. Typically the vibrator 13 is mounted on a mounting plate 14 across the screening device 10. The screening device may also contain feet 18 and spring feet 19 attached thereto. In some embodiments, the screening device may contain a washing device 50, for example a spray header, for washing material as it is screened and before it passes onto the outfeed table 20.
As shown in Figure 11, in an exemplary embodiment, the magnetic device 30 is a belt magnet. In other embodiments the magnetic device can be other well known types of magnets in the art, for example a drum magnet. As shown in Figure 11, the belt magnet 10 has a first longitudinal rail 34 and a second longitudinal rail

As shown in Figure 11, in an exemplary embodiment, the magnetic device 30 is a belt magnet. In other embodiments the magnetic device can be other well known types of magnets in the art, for example a drum magnet. As shown in Figure 11, the belt magnet 10 has a first longitudinal rail 34 and a second longitudinal rail
9 36. As shown rollers 37 are disposed between the longitudinal rails 34, 36 at the first end 38 and second end 39. A belt 31 may be disposed between the longitudinal rails 34, 36 and is rotatable (via a drive device 32) around the rollers 37. In some embodiments, the magnetic device 30 can be supported by the frame 100. In other embodiments the magnetic device 30 can be suspended above the outfeed table 20. The use of the belt magnet is advantageous in that the belt magnet removes coarse scats (i.e. - metallic material). Grinding media generally breaks by spalling of the grinding ball. As the scat recirculates in the grinding circuit, it further breaks into smaller pieces. Thus it is advantageous to remove the scats at the coarsest size possible. An additional advatage is that the belt magnet presents its magnetic effect over a large surface area of the outfeed table 20 with a thin layer of slurry, allowing a long residence time for pick up of the magnetic material.
As shown in Figure 9, in an exemplary embodiment an outfeed table 20 has a first side 21, a second side 22, a front end 28 and a back end 29. The outfeed table may also contain a liner plate 23. In an exemplary embodiment, the liner plate is made of ultra high molecular weight polyethyline ("UHMW"). The UHMW
may assist in providing a wear resisitant surface and allows a low coefficient of friction for the magnetic material. In other embodiments, other like materials well known in the art may be used as all of or part of the liner plate 23. As further shown in Figure 9, the magnetic device 30 is positioned above (but adjacent and close to) the outfeed table 20. By positioning the magnetic device close to the outfeed table 20, more magnetic material is able to be collected by the magnetic device 30.
Figure 10 depicts an exemplary embodiment of the frame 100 which may support one or more of the screening device 10, the magnetic device 30 and the outfeed table 20. In the embodiment shown in Figure 10, the frame contains skid beams 102. One or more vertical beams 104 may be attached to the skid beams 102.
Horizontal tie beams 106 and/or cross braces 108 may be used to provide structural rigidity to the vertical beams 104. The frame may also contain feed chute legs 17 for supporting the feed chute 16 on the frame 100 and or screening device 10.
Figure 7 depicts a flow diagram of a typical grinding and gravity separation circuit. In operation, an apparatus for removing a magnetic material from a grinding circuit may be placed at e.g. location 200. The apparatus detailed herein (as shown in Figures 1-6 and 12 and 13) was trialed on the screen 5 oversize of an existing Knelson feed screen. The oversize in the trial was pre-screened at 2 to 6 mm. During the trial the apparatus was operated continously (24 hours per day, 7 days a week) with a feed rate of approximately 2 TPH with a + 2 mm feed and a 2-6 mm screen aperture installed on the apparatus. The trial resulted in an actual magnetic material recovery of 2 by 50 gallon drums per shift

The trial resulted in an actual magnetic material recovery of 2 by 50 gallon drums per shift
10 which would equate to an estimated plant wide magnetic material recovery of 10% of total plant grinding media. If two of three screen oversize streams were treated the magnetic material recovery would be expected to be higher. As shown in Figures 14A and 14B, visually, the recovered magnetic material was clean, and was not a large gold carrier. Gold grade smeared onto the metallic material was only -0.3 g/t. A sample of the magnetic material (e.g. scrap steel) recovered during the trial was shipped back to the grinding media supplier and although the oxide (rust) component was higher than normal scrap steel, the steel was suitable for use as scrap.

The apparatus described herein is further advantageous in that significant costs are recouped by recovering the magnetic material (i.e. - steel scrap) and thereby reducing costs spent on new grinding media. Typical economics are as follows:
= Grinding ball consumption ¨Typical is 1.2 kg/tonne ore (SAG/Ball circuit) = Media cost - $1,500/tonne = Media cost - $1.80 per tonne ore processed = Grinding ball recovery as scrap ¨ approximately 30%
= Ball scrap price ¨ approximately 30% of new = Net benefit $0.16 per tonne processed, or 9% reduction in media cost.
Other benefits may include decreased wear on downstream equipment within the grinding circuit, for example on pumps, piping and valves; an increase in
transferring the oversized material from the screening device 10 to an outfeed table 20; spreading the oversized material into a layer of oversized material on the outfeed table 20; removing magnetic material from the layer of oversized material using a magnetic device 30.
