Principles and practices of mineral processing with emphasis on state- of-the-art separation technologies. Mineral deposits, sampling theory, slurry calculation, and particle motion in fluid streams. Unit operations for processing particulate materials. Crushing and grinding, screening, gravity separation, magnetic and electrostatic separation, froth flotation, dewatering and clarification. Flowsheets, process selection and plant performance evaluation. Laboratory component will reinforce lecture topics on unit processes described above.

Theory and practice of mine haulage, hoisting and drainage and pumping. Application of engineering principles to the analysis and selection of materials handling mediums for the minerals industry.

An introduction to probability, statistics, and statistical inferential reasoning. Probability distributions for discrete and continuous random variables; descriptive statistics and claims arising from them; construction and evaluation of claims arising from formal statistical inference conveyed in confidence intervals and hypothesis tests; analysis of variance; information literacy for statistical inferential reasoning. The course emphasizes mining applications.

Hazards of dust and gaseous contamination of mine atmosphere; air dilution requirements; flow distribution in mine network, computer analysis of the ventilation network, natural ventilation and fans. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours.
