Rio Tinto Kennecott completes construction of solar power plant

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Rio Tinto has completed construction on a new 5-megawatt solar power plant at its Kennecott copper operation in Utah. The 12,800 solar panel power plant will be commissioned in coming weeks, enabling Kennecott to reduce its operational emissions by 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

Copper

Schlesinger et al. (2021) describe the processes for upgrading old copper scrap. The most significant of these technologies are those for processing spent wire and cable. The process described by Sullivan (1985) is still the basis for most cable processing flowsheets (see Figure 21.2).Granulation is the process of chopping wire and cable into …

The run-of-mine (ROM) materials that feed copper processing plants are varied, covering particles finer than 1 (mm) to fragments thicker than 1 (m) in diameter. Hence, the objective of crushing is to reduce the size of the largest fragments until a maximum uniform size of 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) is obtained . This usually takes place by …

Power

Most buildings require electricity, or power, to function. Power is produced in power generators (see below), stored or discharged from Power Storages, and consumed by buildings. Power is transferred via Power Lines, Power Poles, or Train Stations and Railways. Power is measured in megawatts (MW). Buildings that consume (or supply) …

Water and Energy Use in Mineral Processing: A Case Study in Copper

Energy use is quite relevant to copper production. Energy consumption has important implications because the process itself requires the combustion of fuels and increasing power requirements that cause greenhouse gas emissions at the thermal power stations that supply electricity to the copper plants (Alvarado et al., 2002).

How can copper mines use less water?

"A conventional copper processing plant uses between 0.45 and 0.6 cubic meters (m 3) of water per dry tonne of ore. So, for a 50,000 t/d ore copper mine, this will consume around 30,000 m 3 of fresh water a day. That's enough to fill an 80,000 seat stadium, like Brazil's Maracanã, full of water in about seven weeks."
