Techno-Economic study for the WHY Record Ridge project
FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-01
Summary
The project will leverage the previous test work results achieved by KPM to perform all the required lab testing and techno-economic process analyses to reach an advanced and optimized proprietary process technology. The project includes closing the processing loop by integrating the addition of Fe, Ni and Silica by-production, diversifying the Mg compounds production, increasing the recoveries, and improving the CAPEX/OPEX and the energy and environmental key performance indicators (KPI’s). The final process technology outcomes, which are expected to be delivered from the proposed testing and studies will serve as a base for the feasibility study of a Semi Commercial Demonstration Plant.

Description (French)
Le projet s'appuiera sur les résultats des travaux de test précédents réalisés par KPM pour effectuer tous les tests de laboratoire et les analyses de processus technico-économiques nécessaires pour parvenir à une technologie de processus propriétaire avancée et optimisée. Le projet comprend la fermeture de la boucle de traitement en intégrant l'ajout de Fe, Ni et Silice en sous-production, la diversification de la production de composés de Mg, l'augmentation des récupérations et l'amélioration des CAPEX/OPEX et des indicateurs clés de performance (ICP) énergétiques et environnementaux. Les résultats finaux de la technologie des procédés, qui devraient découler des essais et des études proposés, serviront de base à l'étude de faisabilité d'une usine de démonstration semi-commerciale.
