Filtrabit presented at the FinnMateria mining industry conference

The presentation, “Mining dust as a recoverable side stream”, was held by Filtrabit Business Development Manager Antti Kokkonen. The premise of the presentation was centered around unlocking the value in mining dust that often contains valuable metals.

Findings from dust samples from precious metals mines showed that the concentration of metal can differ significantly depending on the processing stage from where the dust is collected.

In gold mines for example, even at relatively modest head grades, the effective dry capture of dust can be directly profitable for the metal content alone. Reduced operational costs relating to maintenance, cleaning services and waste management fees are substantial but often more difficult to calculate. The same is true especially for the Health and Safety improvements related to reducing the microparticle exposure of employees.

Filtrabit also held a company introduction presentation at the Mining Finland booth and had a full-scale flow-dynamic dust separator present at the venue, where conference-goers had the opportunity to get an in-person technology presentation.
