The joint AusIMM and CSIRO conference, Sampling 2010 was held in Perth May 11th and 12th. It proved to be an ideal platform that brought together managers, geologists, engineers, metallurgists, grade controllers, samplers, chemists and consultants involved in all aspects of sampling mineral commodities, including resource estimation, quality control and export. The conference provided a great opportunity for networking, meeting respected international sampling experts, sharing ideas and catching up on the latest developments. The success of this conference was, in part, due to sponsorship from those involved in the sampling industry. Essa was proud to be the Principal Sponsor of Sampling 2010. Essa is committed to supporting the sampling fraternity through sponsorship of major sampling conferences. Essa was the diamond sponsor of the 4th World Conference on Sampling and Blending (WCSB4) in Cape Town, South Africa last October. It was also the principal sponsor of WCSB3 in Porto Alegre, Brazil and the major sponsor AusIMM's Sampling 2008 conference in Perth. ESSA CONDUCTS THE OFFICIAL OPENING Darryl Stevens, Essa CEO: The Sampling 2010 conference once again concentrates on designing and implementing sampling systems and protocols which will achieve the desired result at the outset. Most sampling systems are implemented with a genuine desire to achieve a sample which can be used in a quality control process. However, having observed many interesting and inventive sampling systems around the world, it is obvious that sometimes the desire to achieve any sample far outweighs the regard to adherence to basic sampling rules. As a consequence the sample produced offers little of the information the user expects and the end experience is disappointing. From the collective experiences of many in the room I’m sure we could host a complete

conference discussing the art of getting it wrong. So, here’s a great opportunity for us to focus on the positive processes and outcomes of sampling correctly. Getting it right at the outset, the theme of this year’s conference, offers many enlightening papers which will provide users of sampling systems with the types of considerations which should be examined prior to embarking on process design. This includes not only the protocols which are considered while adhering to the ISO standards but also the equipment which must perform reliably and accurately. We hope many of you will leave the conference with the added knowledge to how to go about getting it right. We trust you will find the conference and exhibition stimulating and informative. Please take advantage of the networking opportunities and sample the depth of experience gathered here. We also hope you enjoy sampling some fine Australian wine and produce at tonight’s dinner In opening this Sampling 2010 Conference may I extend thanks to the • The organising committee and the diligent AusIMM support staff • The sponsors and exhibitors • The speakers • And your attendance Thank you and enjoy the presentations. SAMPLING “DREAM TEAM” The conference concluded with a discussion forum where the delegates could “consult the experts” on difficult sampling problems. The collective experience and expertise of the assembled mineral sampling experts on stage for this forum was world-class. The panel included specialists from South Africa, France, the United Kingdom, USA, Denmark and Australia. Topics covered during this lively session included: • How can we better educate key people involved in the exploration, mining, processing and shipping of minerals about theory of sampling principles and practices?

Sample don´t gamble

• A vigorous debate about the merits and pitfalls of blast hole sampling and the representativeness of the sample generated. • Reinforcing the conference theme, Getting It Right at the Outset, was how to get senior mining and exploration management to recognise the value of good sampling practice and to invest in it at the very beginning of new projects. • This sentiment was echoed for plant engineering executives and the need to accommodate correct and proven sampling equipment in the initial design and costing stages. • Independent accreditation of sampling equipment. • The desire to conduct industry field sampler trials to prove up mathematical modelling hypotheses.

CONTAINER sampling PROBLEM: Even at pharmaceutical companies, a container sample is essential; it the batch ready proceed to the next step? Opening the manhole from the container is a difficult activity; the operator can fall down. When opening the manhole cover, the operator’s face is only 500-600mm separated from the content of the container. In the pharmaceutical industry this is not a preferable situation.

Engineered and tailor Sampling Modules designed for rapid and reproducible sampling processes In any industry there is a difficulty in taking a representative sample. Last decennia there has been lots of investments done in sample preparation equipment for laboratories, where sampling equipment should had more attention. Anyone understands when the sample has been taken in the wrong way,

what’s the use of expensive sample preparation equipment? Most of the quality managers know about the complexity of representative sampling, but have no or limited access to this information, or even better a technical pragmatic solution. The LAARMANN GROUP is an expert in

practical solutions to eliminate all human errors and deviations in wrong samplers. From this moment, the quality manager can choose from several solutions in sampling equipment which have been installed in many industries.

Case description: BIG BAG sampling PROBLEM Big bag sampling: Sampling a big bag is difficult. Especially when the big bag has travelled some distance, there will be definitely segregation in the content. Therefore it’s not correct to open the top of the big bag

taking a spoon of material; the experience will tell that the bigger particles will be on top and the smaller particles will be at the bottom of the big bag. Doing a quality check is for a laboratory a difficult task.

CONTAINER sampling PROBLEM:

Big bag sampling Module

Module No.1: Big Bag sampling Module sampling a complete big bag To get away from hanging 1 ton of material in a crane, using a knife to open the big bag, it’s preferable to have a more controllable method. Besides the work, hanging a big bag in a crane is also a dangerous situation; ripping the ropes is a potential risk. LAARMANN SOLUTION: Drawing/pictures Eramet.

Even at pharmaceutical companies, a container sample is essential; it the batch ready proceed to the next step? Opening the manhole from the container is a difficult activity; the operator can fall down. When opening the manhole cover, the operator’s face is only 500-600mm separated from the content of the container. In the pharmaceutical industry this is not a preferable situation.

Overview about MBSS Sampling Modules for all tasks LAARMANN SOLUTION: Drawing container to container with RSDR Sack sampling PROBLEM: The most difficult sampling problem is a pallet of 20kg bags; when a product is purchased from some supplier, the chance of impurity will be highest at the bottom, right on the pallet; these bags come out after a batch change and might be contaminated with the bag coming out from the batch before. Most companies sample the bag

which is on top of the purchased amount; probably with the correct characteristics. After using the complete amount in a reactor, it might come out that the contaminated bag at the bottom is disastrous for the end product costing a lot of effort and money.

Thyssen

Essa do Brasil Ltda has just been awarded a significant contract to design, supply and install two automated bulk material sampling systems at ThyssenKrupp's massive new integrated steel slab plant located at Baia Sepetiba, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The contract value is approximately 1.5 million Brasilian Reals. When operating in 2010, it is planned that five million tonnes of steel per annum will be produced at this plant. It is the first large steel mill built in the country since the mid-1980s and the largest industrial investment the Latin American country has seen for a decade. Building this new plant ThyssenKrupp describes as being a "once-in-a-century event".

At full operating capacity, this plant will employ some 3,500 people and the total investment in the plant to date is approaching 4 billion Euros. Sixty percent of the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s output will be exported to North America and forty percent processed at ThyssenKrupp's plants in Germany, where they are investing 400 million Euros to expand their valueadding processing and coating lines. The mill, situated on a nine square kilometre site on Sepetiba Bay, will include two blast furnaces, a meltshop with two converters and two continuous casters, all meeting the latest Brazilian and European environmental standards. The mill is to be built together with the Brazilian iron ore producer Vale.

Essa do Brasil has been working closely with ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik staff in Belo Horizonte to retrofit falling stream sampling systems to recently completed materials handling systems which were originally designed to accommodate cross belt samplers. Both ThyssenKrupp and their raw material supplier, however, acknowledge the benefits of a correctly designed falling stream sampling system over cross belt samplers. Hence the opportunity arose for Essa to become involved in the project. In order to meet the technical demands of the project and tight time frame to deliver the systems, Essa do Brasil has relied heavily on the exceptional design expertise of Essa Australia in delivering these types of automated sampling systems to clients over the last 25 years.

The Laarmann Sampler Type LMS1 (Picture 1) is designed for the representative sampling of dry horse milk powder coming from a spray dryer (See picturet 2/ conceptional design drawing. Problematic is to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the quality of smaller amount like filled 25kg bags with high end quality products, like pharmaceutical products. Having a representative sample form a day production of in total 75 kg is a difficult task. In this case a cyclone is sucking a lot of impurities in the end product. This is solved by supplying a close system. Optionally the customer can move the sampling system between the rotary valve and the 20kg bag filling unit. If the customer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to sample the product, the rotary valve is simply filling the back filling unit.

In order to know the percentage of pure copper out of concentrated copper, the stream needs to be sampled. In our case, the customer gets a few tons of gold together with the ground material; therefore sampling is essential to know which amount of gold is supplied together with the concentrated copper. To get the product in an oven, there is used a large bucket elevator. At random, some buckets are turned over and the sample is collected in a stainless steel tube containing 6 kg of concentrated copper and gold particles, while the top squeeze vale is opened. Now the top valve is closed and a few seconds later the below squeeze valve is opened.

Final product

The product is released in a vibratory feeder in order to get a smooth homogeneous flow to the Laarmann Sampler. The operator can select different sampling times in order to get different amounts of the sample which are collected in 1000ml or 500ml sample bottles. These samples are transported to the lab for further analyses.
