Laboratory of vacuum processes
Main achievements:
- The fundamental basis of vacuum pyro-selection of complex mineral and man-made raw materials have been created;
- The fundamental basis of vacuum distillation refining of metals and separation of alloys have been created;
- The vacuum process of refining rough tin at the Novosibirsk Tin Plant was developed and introduced.
- The vacuum thermal technology and equipment for the processing of mercury concentrates at the Khaidarkan mercury plant (Kirghizia) was put into commercial operation;
- Ecologically safe technologies have been developed for dearsenation stubborn gold-, arsenic-containing raw materials and demercurization of mineral and man-made materials that have been tested on a pilot scale in the vibro-vacuum installations of a continuous operation principle;
- An experimental production for the refining of black selenium has been created.
Technologies offered for implementation:
- Technology for producing titanium dioxide from ilmenite concentrate from the Obukhovskoye deposit;
- Advanced vacuum distillation technology for refining selenium;
- Environmentally friendly vacuum technology and continuously operating equipment for the demercurization of used mercury-filled instruments and measurements;
- Ecologically safe technology for dearsenation of refractory gold-bearing raw materials
Basic research directions:
- The study of thermodynamic and kinetic regularities of evaporation processes, the thermal decomposition of metal sulfides and condensing in a vacuum;
- Development of a vacuum-thermal technology and equipment for processing of polymetallic mineral and man-made raw materials from non-ferrous metallurgy;
- Creation of vacuum distillation methods and equipment for refining of non-ferrous metals.
