At Kerone, we offer microwave based solution for mineral processing industries as the minerals and extractive metallurgy industry consumes of energy and degrades the environment. Our microwave based processing systems provides significant benefits in reducing energy consumption and environmental impact by this industry. In mineral processing, the removal of values in an ore from the excess or gangue is an energy exhaustive and energy inefficient process. Microwave offers the advantages as the most of the energy waste in mineral processing at time of heat generation which was approx. 50-70% of total energy requirement (Walkiewicz et al., 1991). Microwave based processing of minerals and ores provide the benefits as the heat is generated from the within the ores and waste materials. These differentials induce tensile fractures in the material and as a consequence, substantially reduce the energy required in grinding to separate the values from the waste material.
Microwave offer following advantages:
