Recovery enhancement of graphite tub-dust to 99+ carbon using a mill modification

Samarakkody, SATI; Rohitha, LPS; Fernando, WLW [Conference-Full-text]

There are many mineral processing methods that are being used in mining and mineral processing industries. One such method very widely used in the graphite industry is froth flotation. During the present study, graphite ...
Remote sensing and GIS approach for Tsunami damage assessment - a case study

Premadasa, WN; Jayalath, SDLD; Weerakoon, HMAB; Dissanayake, DMDOK [Conference-Full-text]

Tsunami cause widespread damage to the properties as well as human lives in the coastal regions. Sri Lanka is a vulnerable country for tsunami since Java-Sumatra is a very active subduction zone, where there were several ...
Rheological behaviour of mineral (clay) suspensions

Balasooriya, BARD; Kumara, WC; Prasanna, TGS; Sasekaran, M; Fernando, WLW [Conference-Full-text]

In this research, a rotating cylinder viscometer was designed and fabricated to study the structure formation of particles in a mineral suspension and its influence on the relative viscosity q/qo. It is known that the ...
