The inductively coupled plasma (ICP) discharge consists of a cylindrical helical coil (Cu), in which the electromagnetic induction provides a corresponding electric current. Passing a RF current through the coil develops a magnetic flux that induces a RF electrical field which sustains the plasma discharge within the plasma chamber. Typical frequency of systems run at 1-5MHz, and can be modulated to optimize energy efficiency.
Using RFP as a thermal heat source for ore processing applies physics to address chemical complexities manifested in natural mineral compounds achieving lossless production and a net-zero emission environmental footprint.
The question does not focus on the actual competency of RFP. A better question is:Will my material become more efficiently recoverable? It is impossible to ever know the rate of recovery until the material has been processed. Results observed can range anywhere from a decrease, neutral, or increase in detectable target metals, however further density comparisons and other methods of analysis must be conducted to generate a holistic picture of an ore's true value.
TRAIN analysis is divided into two camps:
· Uncracked Ore - limitless potential to provide unprecedented return
· Largely-cracked Ore - looking for recovery increase (see: our services)
Directly: Mine/claim owners & operators
- Mineral ore processing
- Operational waste material processing
Indirectly:
- Any industry that uses Au/Ag/PGMs will see an increase in ease-of-access to these metals.
- No, there will not be a major disruption to metal prices as the market will expand with the new levels of supply.
The RFP is created through an electrodeless plasma system, which can continuously work for long periods and requires minimal maintenance (once a quarter).
Our only competitors are DC arc plasma systems, which cannot work for long periods due to the vastly shorter lifespan of electrodes.
Definitive greentech: any emissions (NOx or SOx) are filtered out by scrubbers
Systems' ability to process any types of material so long as the input is milled to a certain mesh ie. Slag, tailings, e-waste, etc.
Collaboratively-minded claim or mine owner/operators who have an undeniably complex ore and/or low grade ore body/pile at their disposal.
We use a metal (Cu) plasma torch, which survives at lower gas flow and higher power.
High production rate due to large plasma volume (jet diameter + length); continuous capacity to utilize different noble gases (Ar, N).
The system is fully controlled and indicated through a number of power, temperature, and water/gas flow sensors.
Both options are available, however, we'd prefer to train your engineers on-site to allow for operational autonomy as the units are licensed to be fully utilized as clients see-fit.
The system is easy to adjust according to different types of ore.
Its configuration depends on ore composition, particle size, specific gravity, and heat capacity.
Very; in addition, no hazardous emissions (see: Q6), radioactivity, noise or lights are emitted from the plasma area/components before, during, or after operations.
