CO M ASSOCIATED EVENTS Code: 1505a Slurry Rheology Fundamentals for Slurries and Pastes Short Course 3 May 2014 | Pullman Cairns International Hotel | Australia “Integral to process plant design is identification of the slurry system operating window that allows increased throughput while decreasing capital and operating costs. For any system involving thickening or paste production, understanding the material rheological characteristics is prerequisite to identifying this window and successful, optimal and reliable operation”. ABOUT THE COURSE An understanding of slurry and paste rheology or fluid flow, dewatering including thickening and filtration and surface chemistry/ rheology interrelationships is fundamental to slurry system design, operation and risk management. Although the situation has improved over recent years, investment into understanding slurry fundamentals is still often insufficient to mitigate against the risk of under or over design and poor operating performance. The course will focus on identifying what information is required, how to interpret measured data and how to apply to new system design and existing operations. Attendees will learn about slurry physical and chemical properties, how flow properties or rheology are measured and how to meaningfully interpret rheological data for viscosity, yield stress, time dependence and dewatering information. The course will outline how to apply rheology and surface chemistry for pipeline transport and thickening equipment selection and optimal control and operation. COURSE FACILITATORS COURSE OUTLINE What is a slurry? – The liquid to solid continuum • How do we define a slurry/paste: >> Solids concentration >> Density >> Particle size distribution (PSD) >> Particle morphology (shape) >> Mineralogy / surface chemistry Slurry rheology / flow properties • Explanation of the following flow properties and an overview of what they mean in the ‘real’ world: >> Yield stress >> Viscosity >> Shear rate dependence >> Time dependence • The effect of solids concentration, PSD, morphology on the flow characteristics of slurries Slurry rheology measurement • Yield stress measurement: >> The vane method >> The slump test • Shear stress – shear rate (flow curve and viscosity) measurement: >> Rotational methods including the ‘bucket’ rheometer >> Capillary/pipeloop testing • Laboratory versus pipeloop testing • Data extrapolation • Reading rheograms Flow models – communicating data Dr Fiona Sofrà Managing Director Rheological Consulting Services Pty Ltd Fiona is co-founder and Managing Director of Rheological Consulting Services Pty Ltd.

CO M ASSOCIATED EVENTS Code: 1505b An Introduction to the Design of High Density Tailings Disposal Pipelines Short Course 4 May 2014 | Pullman Cairns International Hotel | Australia COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVE The objective of the course is to provide attendees with an overview of the broad design principles of high concentration slurry pipelines used for the disposal of paste and thickened tailings. The course includes a brief overview of the hydraulic design of pump and pipeline systems by considering the interaction of the pipeline system and pump performance curves when pumping water. This provides the basis for understanding the differences between Newtonian and non-Newtonian pipeline systems. The concept of rheology and its importance in pump and pipeline design will be discussed, and the implications of pumping viscous slurries on equipment selection will be presented. On completion of the one day course, delegates will have an appreciation of the requirements for the design of high density tailings slurry pipelines. TARGET AUDIENCE The course is aimed at mining professionals who have limited exposure to the design of slurry pipelines and wish to obtain further understanding of the basic design principles required for high density pumping systems.

CO M ASSOCIATED EVENTS Code: 1505c Mine Backfill System Design, Operation and Management Short Course 4 May 2014 | Pullman Cairns International Hotel | Australia COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVE TARGET AUDIENCE Backfill is seldom recognised as a critical part of the mining cycle until it is too late. Poor design, inadequate comprehension of the materials, or under-sizing of the entire system can lead to unreliable fill delivery, or worse – no backfill placement at all. Starting with the selection of backfill method, through testing and design, a successful project is one that includes structural and environmental considerations, plus life cycle costs of the backfill material and the system itself. A sound understanding of the material properties and proven design fundamentals ensure a mine’s backfill system will be reliable and cost effective. This one day course will briefly touch on backfill methods, and then focus on paste fill and the important relationships between system design, operation and management. The course objective is to provide participants with an overview of the fundamentals to be considered when effectively sizing, designing and operating mine paste fill systems. Particular attention is paid to the implementation and management of a ‘best practice’ operation. On completion of the one day course, delegates will have an appreciation of the requirements for the design and operation of a safe and reliable paste backfill system. The course is aimed at mining professionals who have limited exposure to the design of paste backfill systems, or may be operating a system now and wish to obtain further understanding of the basic design principles.
