Study Goals
Education Method Literature and Study Materials Assessment
To provide the students with full knowledge of different mining methods; help them to understand the whole process of a mine project development, the inter-relationship among different factors and how they affect the decisions throughout the process; enable them to handle different mining projects independently using available modern mining tools. Classroom lectures aided with slides for both parts. Course notes provided by the lecturers; Reference readings will be recommended by the lecturers at the start of each section. Written examination for both Part A and B.; Each part contributes equal weight to the final mark.

Dr. J.H.L. Voncken x/0/0/0 1 1 1 2 Dutch English In this course the most important economic minerals and rocks will be treated (ores, industrial minerals, coal). Of these materials the origin, occurrence and properties will be discussed, to make it clear where and why a certain material can be found on a certain place on the Earth. Examples of treated materials are: iron ore (minerals) copper ore (minerals), gold, limestone, gypsum, coal, diamond. Also concepts like reserves, grade, cut-off grade, recovery etc. will be treated. Knowledge of the most important economically interesting minerals and rocks (including coal), with respect to origin, way of occurrence, composition and important properties. Knowledge of elementary concepts of economic geology. Lecture Lecture notes, Powerpoint sheets Written examination Dr. J.H.L. Voncken Dr. J.H.L. Voncken

Dr. Y. Yang x/0/0/0 1 1 1 2 English General inorganic chemistry Fundamentals on thermodynamics and reaction kinetics This course gives the knowledge on metals production and refining technologies. The following issues will be discussed with reference to the metals production and refining: - Introduction to the metals production and metals industry - General principles for metals extraction and refining - Binary and ternary phase diagrams related to pyrometallurgical extraction and metals refining - Pyrometallurgical extraction processes - Pyrometallurgical refining processes - Hydrometallurgy: unit operations covering leaching, purification and metals sepation, metals precipitation - Electrometallurgy: electrowinning and electro-refining, molten salt electrolysis - Environmental aspects: treatment of off-gas, slag and waste residues, metals recycling To provide the students with an overview on metals industry and an introduction to process technology of metalas production. The couse consists of lectures and computer practicals. (1) Lecturing: Discussion and illustration of various process examples. (2) Thermadynamic evaluation of metallurgical processes, and exercises with thermodynamic software. During practiclas: - General use of computers with Excel - HSC chemistry (thermodynamic software) Various journal articles Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry The lecture notes (Reader) is composed of the combination of book chapters and journal articles on extractive metallurgy. The lecture materials are combination of various book chapters and articles, and are complemented with handouts.

Voncken Contact Hours / Week 0/x/0/0 x/x/x/x Education Period 2 Start Education 2 Exam Period 2 Course Language Dutch English Course Contents In this course the physical processes are treated which are used in the processing of rocks minerals and ores. One should think of comminution, milling, grinding, classification (sieving), mineral separation techniques. With respect to these processes not only the applied methods will be treated, but also theoretical backgrounds. Study Goals Knowledge of methods and backgroud of comminution, classification and seperation of materials. Education Method Lecture Assessment written examination Remarks This course will partly be given by a teacher from the international mining cooperation Rio Tinto.
