CA 2326316

A conglomerate processing apparatus is provided for processing a conglomerate of recoverable particles bound together by a binding medium, such as a conglomerate (20) of diamondiferous ore embedded in clay. The apparatus comprises a moving belt conveyer (12) having an upstream end for receiving the conglomerate, a downstream end, and a first upstream array of fragmenting nozzles (44A) for directing a corresponding series of fragmenting fluid jets (48) onto the conglomerate (20) to break it up. A second downstream array of eroding nozzles (46A) is provided for directing a corresponding series of fanned eroding fluid jets (50) for eroding the clay from the broken up conglomerate to expose the individual diamondiferous ore particles (54). The invention extends to a method of processing a conglomerate.

On décrit une machine à traiter un conglomérat de particules récupérables liées par un agglutinant, tel qu'un conglomérat (20) de minerai diamantifère enfoui dans de l'argile. La machine comprend une bande transporteuse mobile (12) présentant une extrémité amont pour recevoir le conglomérat, une extrémité aval, et un premier groupe amont de buses de fragmentation (44A) pour diriger une série correspondante de jets d'eau de fragmentation (48) sur le conglomérat (20) pour le pulvériser. Un deuxième groupe aval de buses (46A) dirige en éventail une série correspondante de jets d'eau d'érosion (50) pour éroder l'argile obtenur par la pulvérisation du conglomérat, afin d'exposer les particules isolées de minerai diamantifère (54). On décrit en outre un procédé de traitement d'un conglomérat.
