22.04.2022
The
commission consisting of the directorate, the management of the corporation and
the Production Association "Karagandatsvetmet" inspected the
production workshops, visited sites with ore warehouses, surface facilities: a
tailings pond and an evaporator pond. The
stages of preparation and implementation of the upcoming technological tests at
the factory for processing copper-zinc ore from the Abyz deposit with an
increase in the quality of zinc concentrate are considered. The Commission
decided to audit and assess the technical condition of the equipment in the
zinc-pyrithione and zinc ore processing cycles, to test the flotation
conversion according to the full technological scheme with the production of
three commodity concentrates. In
May of this year, with the consulting and technical support of specialists from
Novomek Engineering and Kazhydromed, industrial tests of processing copper-zinc
ore from the Abyz deposit will begin. After the tests, specialists will prepare
a report with recommendations and technical and economic calculations in order
to determine and introduce a new technological scheme of enrichment into
production. An
important role in improving the quality of the technological process of
processing and enrichment is played by the quality of incoming water to the
grinding and flotation departments, as well as the quality of recycled water in
filtration and flushing processes. In this connection, the management decided
to increase the consumption of clean water from the Sredne-Tavdinsky water
intake to the required 5,400 m3 per day. The relevant services were instructed
to develop measures for the registration of permits and the organization of
preparatory work for the renovation of pipelines. As
a result of the visit to the Karagailinsky production site by the First Deputy
Chairman of the Management Board and Technical Director of the company, plans
and measures for the implementation of the production tasks set for the factory
management and structural divisions of Kazakhmys Corporation LLP to improve the
enrichment work were determined.
