¿Cómo construir un laboratorio minero?

Laboratory analysis is called the eye of the mine by the mining industry. Every mine is inseparable from exploration, mining, beneficiation, product sales, and other links. According to the laboratory construction experience and combined with the actual situation of the mine, we discuss when to build a laboratory in the mine, how to establish a laboratory, and other things related to the mine laboratory.

 

Finalidad y requisitos del laboratorio de minas

El objetivo principal del laboratorio minero es prestar servicios para la producción y realizar análisis específicos del mineral para su extracción, beneficio y posterior exploración de recursos. Por lo general, los laboratorios mineros sólo realizan análisis de laboratorio rutinarios. Se requiere que la inversión en equipos de laboratorio sea lo más pequeña posible, que el análisis sea rápido y que la dificultad técnica requerida sea relativamente baja.

 

Selección del momento del laboratorio de construcción de minas

Mine development generally involves exploration, design, mining, beneficiation production, and product sales. Generally, during the exploration stage, most mines entrust qualified exploration units to conduct exploration work, and these units collect a large number of ore samples. Carry out extensive analysis and research on the ore. This requires the laboratory to be able to analyze a large number of mineral samples, and at the same time have relatively complete laboratory analysis equipment and a higher level of laboratory analysis personnel. This is something that ordinary mines cannot achieve, and it is unnecessary. There is no need to build a laboratory in the mine during the exploration phase.

When will the construction of the laboratory start? We believe that the construction of the laboratory should be considered when the mine decides to start the preliminary preparation of the mine. The construction of the laboratory should be earlier than the construction of the processing plant. This is because it usually takes more than half a year for the construction of a concentrator to start small-scale production, and more than one year for large-scale mines. At the same time as the construction of the dressing plant, the mining work has almost begun. The laboratory can be put to the test in advance, which is very useful for the guidance of mining work.

Para el momento concreto, sugerimos que después de que se publique el plano general del instituto de diseño y se determine la ubicación del laboratorio, se comience primero con el diseño del laboratorio y después con la construcción del laboratorio.

 

Las condiciones que debe reunir el laboratorio minero

1. Selección del emplazamiento del laboratorio y configuración de las funciones de las salas.

The laboratory is generally located at a location with better ventilation, far away from the living area of the mine, and close to the processing plant. Whether large mines or small mines, it is recommended that the laboratory be built separately. On the one hand, it avoids pollution; on the other hand, it is easy to manage.

2. Requisitos generales de las salas pequeñas de laboratorio

• Quirófano: Por lo general, basta con una habitación de más de 12 metros cuadrados.
• Sala de instrumentos: Se necesita una sala separada para evitar que el gas ácido corrosivo de la sala de operaciones corroa el instrumento analítico y afecte a su precisión.
• Sala de equilibrio: Se puede utilizar o instalar de forma aislada en la sala de instrumentos y en la sala de operaciones. Preste atención a la balanza electrónica para evitar la corrosión.
• Taller de tratamiento de muestras: place equipos de trituración y molienda, and mines with conditions that are best equipped with ventilation facilities.
• Biblioteca de materiales sencilla y biblioteca de muestras.

3. Requisitos de hardware necesarios para el laboratorio

Usually, hydropower is a necessary hardware requirement, and three-phase power is used for power. Ventilation facilities are also essential, especially the heating and acid dissolution process in the operation room, which must be carried out in a fume hood. In addition, the laboratory must have drainage facilities.

 

El coste de la inversión en laboratorios

The cost includes housing facilities, house decoration of the laboratory, an operation desk, and ventilation facilities of the laboratory, laboratory equipment, etc. We can configure these things according to the specific conditions of the mine. Here we introduce some laboratory equipment.

El personal del laboratorio

In general, in small mines, there are 3 people in the laboratory to basically meet the production needs. Large-scale mines are equipped with a large number of people, and generally, no more than 12 people are involved in sampling, laboratory analysis, and quality control. For personnel requirements, generally, small mines need an experienced laboratory technician and two trained laboratory technicians at the same time. Large mines have higher requirements for laboratory technicians. A special quality inspection department is set up with corresponding personnel.

Los requisitos básicos para la construcción de un laboratorio son datos precisos y fiables. Lo mejor es construir el laboratorio a través de una empresa con experiencia. Además, es necesario establecer una serie de normas de gestión estrictas al principio de la construcción del laboratorio. Lleve a cabo la formación del personal del laboratorio, exija al personal del laboratorio que actúe estrictamente de acuerdo con los requisitos e implante al mismo tiempo un sistema de inspección por muestreo. Hacer que el laboratorio desempeñe verdaderamente el papel de sus ojos.
