Destoning the moatize coal seam, Mozambique, by Dry Jigging
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020-08-31)
This paper proposes pre-beneficiation studies by air jigs of the coal layers from a Moatize coal deposit. Pre-beneficiation, also called destoning, removes tailings before the beneficiation plant. The air jigs operate in ...
A review on the environmental impact of phosphogypsum and potential health impacts through the release of nanoparticles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021-07-09)
Many industrial by-products have been disposed along coastlines, generating profound marine changes. Phosphogypsum (PG) is a solid by-product generated in the production of phosphoric acid (PA) using conventional synthesis ...
