Executive Summary
This technical report section outlines the envisioned recovery methods for the Lawn Wash Alunite Project, focusing on the production of Sulphate of Potash (SOP). The process involves a combination of unit operations including primary, secondary, and tertiary crushing, followed by flotation to reduce silica content. The ore undergoes drying and calcining before leaching with water to extract potassium sulfate. The process concludes with solid/liquid separation, evaporation, crystallization, and product drying.
Metallurgical test work is currently being planned to investigate flotation as a method to enhance product quality and conserve energy. Process optimization efforts are underway to identify energy-efficient and cost-effective technologies. Ancillary facilities include groundwater harvesting, water conservation through effluent reuse, and environmentally sound residue management.
