... capacity of the commercial mining robot is 1.1 million wet tons per year. Because the pilot mining robot has 1/5 scale of the commercial robot, mining capacity of 0.22 million (wet weight) tons per year is required. When annual operating efficiency is considered 75% (e.g., the pilot mining robot...

...-95-1; ISSN 1946-0066: www.isope.org efficient in extraction of molybdenum from the acidic sulphate solution, in laboratory as well as pilot scale, has been reported (An-Lee-Kim- Tran-Lee and Kim, 2009a; An-Jung-Lee-Tran-Kim and Kim, 2009b). In present communication, we propose a selective extraction...

... ABSTRACT: The importance of cobalt-rich manganese crusts on the Pacific seamounts for future rare metal and rare earth element resources has currently been recognized. The thin layer-type deposit characteristics affect recovery efficiency of the deposit, degradation of the mined ore...

... ENERGY PLANT The caisson of the plant had an opening width of 10 m and a water plane area of 67.5 m2. The best hydrodynamic efficiency (based on model studies) can be attained using a turbine diameter of 2 m (Koola, 1990). impulse turbine energy plant chord well guide vane impulse turbine...

... has been made to use twin unidirectional turbines in lieu of traditional bidirectional turbines promising very significant improvements in the power module efficiency. However, as experience has shown, the overall efficiency is also dependent on matching the power module to the OWC. In this work we...

... ABSTRACT: Manganese nodules are very fragile and easy to be broken to small pieces even to μm or mm size. This can cause environmental problems in the process of a sea test or a commercial mining. For the efficient solid separation from the mixture of sea water and manganese particles, we have...

... technically (Yoon et al., 2001; Yoon et al., 2003). Hydraulic pumping system is two-phase lifting technology of solid and liquid. Among the sub systems, a lifting pump is the most important. When fine particles of nodules accumulate in the pump impeller, the pump efficiency decreases and serves as a factor...
