Estudo e caracterização do processo produtivo Nexa Resources S. A. - Aripuanã/MT

Abstract

This work was developed together with the company Nexa Recursos Minerais S/A, in order to characterize the performance of the polymetallic beneficiation process of the project under development in the municipality of Aripuanã/MT. The selected theme arose from the need to understand the ore route, from mineralogical characteristics to the flow stage of copper, lead and zinc concentrates. Understanding how the process works is of fundamental importance. to properly assess how the mineral of interest is behaving in the concentration process. Industrial facilities for the physical concentration of metallic ores essentially involve stages of communication, classification and concentration in different types of equipment. From these steps, the performance analysis of the beneficiation process will serve to improve knowledge. With the collection of data on granulometric distributions, ore content, understanding of the entire production chain and industrial processes, this work evaluated possible interventions or findings, mainly focused on enriching academic knowledge.
