Exchange Between Two Giants: Unique Solutions for Mineral Mining from Australia & South Africa - Rheology

Part II: The role of rheology in smarter tailings management

 

Join us for the sequel session of the Southern Africa–Australia Mining Webinar Series: Exchange Between Two Giants: Unique Solutions for Mineral Mining from Australia & South Africa; where we explore innovative sample testing solutions aimed at saving cost and increasing efficiency. 

In the second entry of our four-part webinar series, Nicholas Chiknaikin from Pump & Flow Pty Ltd (Perth, Western Australia) talks to us about “The role of rheology in smarter tailings management”. This webinar will explore how rheological investigations transform slurry management from guesswork (results in blocked pipelines, fast wearing pumps, and flat beaches) into safe, predictable, efficient design. We will discuss common test methods, and how laboratory data is applied to hydraulic calculations, and the critical role rheology plays in tailings storage performance.

What will you learn in this session:

  • How rheology is used to understand and manage mine tailings.
  • How tailings slurries behave under shear and how it relates to pumping, stacking, storage.
  • Impacts on safety, water recovery, and operating costs. 
     

Key application areas including:

  • Common test methods on a rotational rheometer.
  • Practical examples to illustrate challenges experienced on site, and the value of investing in rheology

 

Australia: 4:00 - 5:00 PM AEST
