Sulfuric acid monitoring in mining
The individual process steps can be monitored by LiquiSonic® Measurement technology continuously monitored inline and optimally adjusted. Due to the high dependence on sound velocity, an accuracy of +/-0.05 m% is achieved for sulfuric acid. The measurement systems from SensoTech are capable of monitoring the complete measurement range of sulfuric acid and oleum to monitor.
LiquiSonic® ensures precise analysis and monitoring of sulfuric acid or oleum concentration with permanent data recording. The robust sensor construction and the choice of special materials, such as Hastelloy C2000, ensure long system uptime.
In addition, the webinar provides an overview of the advantages of LiquiSonic® measurement systems in process monitoring and automation.
The webinar is aimed at employees in plants from the mining industry who want to automate and optimize their process monitoring. The application of the LiquiSonic® measurement system is illustrated by the example of copper mining is illustrated. By referring to the production processes (WSA and DCDP) of sulfuric acid, the webinar shows where improved monitoring can save resources in the process.
The extraction of raw metals involves various process steps. For example, copper is extracted by mining copper sulfide ores. The copper sulfide ores are processed by flotation. In pyrometallurgical extraction, SO2 is produced. This is oxidized to sulfur trioxide (SO3) (contact process) and the SO3 is introduced into 96% sulfuric acid in the absorber, resulting in highly concentrated H2SO4 or oleum by adding water. In blending, the H2SO4 is then diluted to the targeted concentration.
