Three chemically distinct tailings samples were processed with no reconfiguration of the circuit, supporting the case for a single flowsheet.
Green Manganese has completed comparative testing on three legacy tailings samples of differing mineralogy and manganese content. Each was processed through the same flowsheet without reconfiguration.
Feedstock flexibility matters commercially. A plant that has to be redesigned for every deposit cannot be financed against a regional supply of tailings; one flowsheet that tolerates variable input can.
Recovery held within a narrow band across the three samples, and the resulting metallized pellets met specification in each case.
