Abstract:
The paper substantiates the advantages of electric pulse machining of ore and technogenic raw materials. It describes the major features of electric pulse technology, which uses the energy of shock wave pressure. We experimentally determined the optimal parameters of electric pulse device for efficient crushing of ore from Akshatau deposit. The paper presents the results of spectral analysis of technogenic raw materials before and after the electric pulse machining. It demonstrates that electric pulse machining can significantly increase the amount of copper and silver in the original raw materials.
