BHP to boost copper output, lower costs at vast Olympic Dam

1452150289999.jpg
World’s largest miner BHP Billiton (ASX, NYSE:BHP) (LON:BLT) has made a bold bet on copper and it’s starting by finding a way to boost output for the red metal from its Olympic Dam, Australia’s biggest underground mine, even before a proposed and long-awaited mega-expansion of the operation takes place.

While the company will take another three years before deciding if heap leaching technology will ultimately allow a big expansion of the mine, the fifth largest copper deposit in the world, and the No.1 uranium deposit, BHP wants to up output for the industrial metal from the mine by 40% over the next year.

Reducing maintenance and replacement cost caused by equipment wear damage necessarites mining companies to use abrasion resistant materials .  wear resistant ceramic is cost effective abrasion materials .Chemshun Ceramics mainly manufacture high alumina wear ceramic liner  website: www.chemshun.com

Characteristics and applications of inert alumina ceramic balls

图片
   Inert alumina porcelain balls have the characteristics of high strength, high chemical stability and thermal stability. They can withstand high temperature, high pressure and corrosion from acids, alkalis, salts and various organic solvents. They are widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, fertilizers, natural gas and environmental protection industries. As a support and covering material for the catalyst in the reactor, it can buffer the impact of liquid and gas entering the reactor on the catalyst, protect the catalyst, and improve the distribution of liquid and gas in the reactor.       Inert alumina ceramic balls are used in industries such as environmental protection and environmental protection as covering support materials and tower packing for catalysts in reactors. Inert alumina ceramic balls have the characteristics of high temperature and high pressure resistance, low water absorption and stable chemical properties. It can withstand the corrosion of acids, alkalis a

What ‘s the advantage of ZTA toughened wear resistant ceramics

图片
  ZTA toughed ceramic is a new material with excellent performance and wide application prospects. ZTA, also known as alumina-zirconia composite phase ceramic, is a composite material composed of two ceramic phases, alumina and zirconia. It is a multi-phase ceramic with excellent chemical stability, thermal stability and high strength. It inherits the high hardness of alumina ceramics and the high toughness of zirconia ceramics, and has excellent wear resistance, high temperature stability and toughness. 1. Anti-wear performance: ZTA toughed ceramics have excellent wear resistance. It has high hardness and can maintain good wear resistance under harsh conditions such as high speed and high pressure. This makes ZTA tough ceramics widely used in high-speed friction, motorcycle brake pads and other fields. 2. High temperature stability:   ZTA toughed ceramics have a high melting point and good high temperature stability. In high temperature environments, it can maintain its original stre
