Corrosion & Abrasion: Materials that Survive Brines & Concentrates
Wear Mechanisms in Harsh Mining Environments In mining and metallurgical operations, corrosion and abrasion are relentless forces that can significantly impact productivity. From brine-rich lithium refining to high-temperature slag handling, every component in contact with slurry, vapor, or molten material is constantly subject to degradation. The challenge of mining corrosion abrasion materials handling lies not […]
Loading/Unloading to Processing Lines: Removing Bottlenecks
Eliminating Loading/Unloading Bottlenecks Plenty of processes occur before mining materials reach Whiting’s evaporators and crystallizers, and even minor interruptions at loading or unloading points can ripple through the entire value chain. Whether ore is hauled from pit to crusher or concentrate is transferred to processing lines, a few minutes of downtime per cycle can add […]
AOD Refractory Life: Maintenance Tactics That Actually Work
Extending AOD Refractory Life Refractory linings are among the highest recurring operating costs in Argon-Oxygen Decarburization (AOD) refining. A single unplanned failure can halt production, compromise chemistry control, and expose crews to unnecessary safety risks. Effective AOD refractory maintenance blends clever vessel design, temperature management, targeted inspections, and data-driven relining decisions—all aimed at maximizing lining […]
