Abstract

Implication of oxidized ferruginous quartzites as preproduction mining product in mineral dressing circuit is a promising and cost-effective way of enhancing prod-Sustainable development of mining and processing is currently impossible in the Ural without the required volume of the quality feedstock supply; therefore the Ural Ore Program has been developed in the Sverdlovsk Region in line with the All-Russia Project named as The Ural Industrial—The Ural Polar. The project assumes the involvement of the industrial capacities available in the Ural industrial area as well as the construction of a transportation corridor from the Middle Ural to the Supolar Ural and, then, to the Polar Ural areas for hard mineral delivery to plants in the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk Regions. Severny copper–zinc mine (Ural Mining-and-Metallurgical Company) develops Tarnier, Shemur and Novo-Shemur deposits of copper and copper–zinc ore. For Novo-Shemur copper and copper-zinc ore processing, it is planned to construct a processing plant with an annual capacity of 1.2 Mt. In 2013 Novo-Shemur ore samples were tested in a laboratory of the Ural Representative Office of RIVS with the aim to determine an adequate dressing circuit. Based on the developed ore dressing chart, the production procedures have been worked out. The developed flotation chart will enable production of quality copper and zinc concentrates (copper content of 20 % and zinc content of 50 %, respectively) at the copper and zinc recovery of 87 and 78 %, respectively. The ecological safety required in operation of a processing plant is achieved owing to engineering designs of tailing storage and wastewater use without disposal on local land.
