Additional information
For the first time, rock properties are linked systematically to breakage during high voltage pulsed comminution. This developing rock breakage technique (only about 10 papers published) promises a rare step change in worldwide mining operations; breaking the rock for processing is the most energy intensive process in mining. The University has been working with SelFrag AG (www.selfrag.com, main contact Dr Alex Weh – A.Weh@selfrag.com) starting with contract research in 2009. The results are a key stage in the company designing a continuous 100 tonnes/hr system, now being tested on a mine, with the lead author now employed by SelFrag.
