Study of Effects of pH Modification within the Operational Range
of the Concentrate Transport System

Client​

Minera Los Pelambres

Location

Chile

Type of service​

Engineering
Laboratory test

In 2010, Minera Los Pelambres requested BRASS to conduct a laboratory testing service to determine the impact of pH modification within the operational range and distribution characteristics of Minera Los Pelambres concentrate system. To achieve this, BRASS characterized the behavior of the concentrate in response to variations in pH and concentration through rheology testing, sedimentation studies, and physical properties assays.
