The mineral Processing laboratory
Mineral Processing Laboratory provides a wide range of ore beneficiation and metal extraction research services for the mining industry. It is equipped with a unique platform of laboratory bench scale facilities for the development and testing of energy-saving, low-cost crushing, grinding and concentration processes in environmental friendly ways. The laboratory is equipped to develop mineral processing methods anywhere along the beneficiation chain from mineralogical analysis to dealing with process waste. Testing of appropriate methods can be conducted from bench-scale to pilot-scale with effectively desired output through considering different ore properties such as
In addition the laboratory has extensive experience in dewatering and filtering methods, all of which can be tested at pilot scale. Hydrometallurgical methods to separate minerals not conducive to conventional methods is also available. Each aspect of beneficiation is optimized and incorporated into an overall efficient of the process with pilot testing allowing the study of many aspects of ore handling and concentration, including
 Sample Preparation
Another important aspect of the department is the sample preparation section which is equipped with staged rock size reduction machines and homogenization facilities in order to assure obtaining of representative samples for chemical analysis. Chromium steel, carbon steel or agate pot sample milling options are available to accommodate contamination levels required during sample preparation. Overhead and low level dust extraction facilities are installed along with the sample preparation machines in order to control sample cross-contamination during the processing of customers’ job requests. Training
The section conducts hands on training courses for AMGC member states, other interested persons and institutions on different subjects related to mineral recovery techniques. The section uses its laboratory equipment and facilities for demonstration of the different methods for the recovery and beneficiation of minerals. Course participants are allowed to come with their own samples for use during the training courses.The section has collaborates with the different universities in Tanzania by training their students during their field attachment and final year projects. Currently the following courses offered
The courses are delivered for five days of both classroom learning and laboratory practicals. Participants who attend the entire short course and complete an evaluation at the end of the course will receive a Certificate of Attendance, confirming their participation and knowledge gained. These courses are beneficial to and target, plant managers, operation managers, technical managers, metallurgists, engineers and researchers, engineering geologists, processing managers, suppliers, metallurgists, small scale mining entrepreneurs, materials managers. But all stakeholders in the mining and minerals business such as policy makers, regulators, and etc. are set to benefit from the courses above. It is also of value to students as well as research and academic personnel of universities. The course can also benefit service providers and suppliers to the mining industry. Consultancy Research and Development
As technological systems, mineral processing plants occasionally will default from their designed operating parameters and will need corrective measures done in order to bring the plant to optimum operating conditions. The mineral processing section conducts research and development studies on specific problems facing mineral recovery operations.The section was involved in the development of a granulation system for the beneficiation of soft phosphate ore in order to facilitate its handling during agronomic applications.
