ESCAID~(TM) 110 DILUENT - MEETING THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF THE MINING INDUSTRY

摘要

Diluent is a key component in the solvent extraction process. In selecting the optimal diluent for a mining operation it is important to consider the technical performance as well as the potential health, flammability and environmental risks associated with the diluent. A good understanding of the chemistry and physical properties of the diluent enables a good control of fire hazards and a safe environment while potentially reducing diluent consumption.The presentation is intended to give insights on the different ways to measure flammability and workers exposure, and will demonstrate how, by means of appropriate diluent selection, the concerns about diluents can be addressed without the need to compromise its performance.
