Retrospective Lifecycle Analysis
Retrospective Lifecycle Analysis of South African Gold Elution Process
I researched and wrote an article that reviews the use of novel modular shell-and-tube
heat-exchanger (MSTHE) systems in the South African gold Elution processes over a
period of over 30 years.
This was based on my own personal Modular Shell-and-Tube Heat-Exchanger (MSTHE)
design experiences from the very beginning of the gold mine Elution process used on
South African mines, to recover the remaining gold from tail dumps and final process
recovery.
