Palma, Sergio; Ihle Bascuñán, Christian; Tamburrino Tavantzis, Aldo (Elsevier, 2018)In this paper we use a continuum mixture model to solve numerically the momentum and continuity equations associated with the sedimentation dynamics of highly concentrated fluid-solid mixtures in tilted ducts at low ...

Tamburrino Tavantzis, Aldo; Carrillo, Daniela; Negrete, Felipe; Ihle Bascuñán, Christian (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)The results of a theoretical and experimental study on the conditions of incipient motion of non-cohesive solid particles in laminar flows of pseudoplastic fluids are presented in the article. It is concluded that, for ...

Aranda, Alfredo; Amigo, Nicolás; Ihle Bascuñán, Christian; Tamburrino Tavantzis, Aldo (Spie-Soc Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2016)A method based on digital image correlation (DIC) is implemented for measuring the height of the roll waves developed in a non-Newtonian fluid flowing on an inclined channel. A projector and a high-resolution digital camera, ...

Ihle Bascuñán, Christian (Elsevier, 2020)The notion of economic pipe size is extended to the case of settling slurries, which are commonly found in high tonnage, long distance pipelines of mineral ores. Water, energy and pipe infrastructure costs have been ...

Palma, Sergio; Ihle Bascuñán, Christian; Tamburrino Tavantzis, Aldo; Dalziel, Stuart (American Institute oh Physics, 2016)A series of sedimentation experiments and numerical simulations have been conducted to understand the factors that control the final angle of a static sediment layer formed by quasi-monodisperse particles settling in an ...

Seawater flocculation of clay-based mining tailings: Impact of calcium and magnesium precipitation Ramos, Jahir J.; Leiva, Williams H.; Castillo, Claudia N.; Ihle Bascuñán, Christian; Fawell, Phillip D.; Jeldres, Ricardo I. (Elsevier, 2020)In areas where access to water of good quality is limited, the use of seawater in mineral processing can be an option. However, the dewatering of waste tailings is adversely affected, particularly when this follows processing ...

Merrill Cifuentes, Javier; Voisin Aravena, Leandro; Montenegro, Víctor; Ihle Bascuñán, Christian; McFarlane, Angus (Elsevier, 2017-08)The presence of clays in mineral processing offers a number of challenges that range from valuable species recovery to the transport of tailings. In particular, when the abundance of one or more clay types increases, the ...

Ihle Bascuñán, Christian; Kracht Gajardo, Willy (Elsevier, 2018)Water and energy are essential requirements for mineral processing plants, and they can be either scarce or expensive. In the present paper, the implications of a remote water source location (typically the seashore) are ...
