Mining

The mining industry is a critical sector that extracts valuable minerals and metals from the earth to support various economic activities. It can be broadly devided into extraction, core process, core slurry transportation.

While coal gasification itself is not typically classified under the mining industry, it is closely related to mining as it often uses coal extracted from mines. The process can also be seen as an extension of the mining value chain, where raw coal is converted into higher-value products. 

Specialty valve applications in the mining industry

The mining industry demands robust and reliable valves to handle harsh conditions, including abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, and high pressures. Here are some key specialty valves and their applications in mining operations:

1. Pinch Valves

• Applications: Widely used in tailings systems, flotation cells, thickeners, and other areas where abrasive slurries are handled.
• Features: Full-port design with no flow restrictions, providing Class VI shutoff. They are ideal for isolating and controlling flow in abrasive and corrosive environments.

2. Knife Gate Valves

• Applications: Used in tailings lines, concentrate lines, and other high-solid applications.
• Features: Provide full-port, unobstructed flow and drop-tight, bi-directional shutoff. They are designed for low maintenance and reliable operation.

3. Butterfly Valves

• Applications: Suitable for large-diameter pipelines, flotation cells, and other areas requiring quick operation and throttling control.
• Features: Lightweight, compact design with quick operation and low-pressure drop.

4. Ball Valves

• Applications: Used in applications requiring high reliability and tight shutoff, such as acid injection and slurry discharge.
• Features: Provide perfect closure with low-pressure loss and are suitable for high-pressure applications.

5. Plug Valves

• Applications: Ideal for handling abrasive slurries and corrosive chemicals in processes like acid leaching and mineral processing.
• Features: Provide reliable shut-off and are designed for long service life with minimal maintenance.
