In secondary precious metals refining, the feed to the plant itself is a waste generated in manufacturing processes. Constant changes in manufacturing processes produce ever changing feed materials to the secondary PGM (platinum Group Metals) refineries. After extracting the precious metals, secondary wastes are generated. The discharge of effluent is dictated by both the PGM losses in wastes and the regulatory mandates. This paper will discuss some. of the conventional as well as some newer approaches to face both the challenges.

Cementation has been used extensively by chemists and metallurgists as an economical process for the purification and recovery of metals from dilute solutions. The paper deals. firstly. with the thermodynamic aspects of cementation. and. secondly, with the effects of various process variables, such as temperature. stirring speed. initial concentrationof copper ions. pH of the solution, atmosphere, and surface area of the precipitant metal. on the kinetics of the process in the light of the rate expressions.

Blast vibration and air blast are commonly blamed for damages to residential as well as commercial structures. Mining and construction companies are often required to spend monies in court defending themselves even when vibration and air blast levels have been monitored by seismographs and are extremely low.

IT has been found that, during any particular period of operation or in mining any particular area of the Castle Dome mine, there appears variation between mine grade and mill grade, thus Ear always in the plus direction. It would be interesting to know if this condition obtains at other properties, and, if possible, to alter the sampling methods or computations in order to get better agreement between mine and mill figures.

The Multiple Raise Round Blasting Technique (MRRBT) is a safe, efficient, cost effective method of blasting thee will use existing mine personnel. The MRRBT, developed from the conventional 'drop raise method' style of blasting, can be used for most raise mining applications. Current results using MRRBT indicate no upper limit for the maximum length that a raise can be blasted.

This paper describes in broad outline the development of a computer programme for determining the effects of changes in various factors in the condenser water circuit on the operation of a cooling plant. The programme is used to obtain design figures which result in minimum total power consumption. This was done for a range of different upcast air quantities, and the implications of low air quantities for heat rejection are discussed.
