Hydraulic Mining: Unveiling the Power of Water in Mineral

The primary goal is to extract valuable minerals from ore deposits, typically placer deposits, which are concentrations of valuable minerals formed by gravity separation during …

12.9: Mining

The water was used for a variety of purposes, including removing overburden and rock debris, called hydraulic mining, as well as washing comminuted, or crushed, ores and driving simple machinery. The Romans used hydraulic mining …

Hydraulic Mining

Hydraulic mining utilizes the force of water sprayed under high pressure to extract coal. Hydraulic mining utilizes continuous miners to mine entries to gain access to production panels. Once a production panel is established, high-pressure water cannons are …

8.4.2: Hydraulicking or Hydraulic Mining

Hydraulic mining uses high-pressure water cannons, known as monitors, to dislodge relatively unconsolidated material. One of the earliest applications of hydraulic mining was to break down banks of alluvium containing gold and silver.

Mining History: Hydraulic Mining

Hydraulic mining was a natural progression from ground sluicing. Rather than shoveling gold bearing gravel into the sluices, mining companies could shoot high pressure jets of water to dislodge and direct earth. Pressure was created …

12.9: Mining

The water was used for a variety of purposes, including removing overburden and rock debris, called hydraulic mining, as well as washing comminuted, or crushed, ores and driving simple machinery. The Romans used hydraulic mining methods on a large scale to prospect for the veins of ore, especially a now obsolete form of mining known as hushing.

Mining History: Hydraulic Mining

The Resurgence of Hydromining

As mentioned above, Hydromining essentially is pumping high pressure water to perform the act of mining. Further, once the tailings are re-slurried, it generally needs to be pumped to the processing facility. Just these two operations will require vast amounts of pumping power.

Hydraulic Mining Techniques

The industries which have classically used hydraulic transportation of ore to the plant include the phosphate mining industry, the heavy minerals mining industry, the clay mining industry, and the sand mining industry.

Hydraulic Mining of Placer

Since 1949, the application of hydraulic mining has been extended from the mining of alluvial tin and placer gold ore to the mining of tungsten titanium manganese ores, columbite-tantalite, zircon, diamond, etc., and even to the mining of clay.

hydraulic mining

hydraulic mining, use of a powerful jet of water to dislodge minerals present in unconsolidated material, including mine tailings, placer deposits, alluvium, laterites (soil rich in iron oxides), and saprolites (soil rich in clay).
