Abstract

The mining energy value chain starts at the face and extends to smelting and refining. System designs that conserve energy and apply energy-efficient technologies can result in significant reductions in overall energy usage. A main component of the energy value chain involves comminution, which accounts for about 50% of all energy used by mines. This chapter summarizes innovations of the state of the art with respect to energy-efficient comminution technologies and process circuit designs. The chapter will also present practices to measure and benchmark energy efficiency.
