Each article reference in the SDLRC is tagged with one or more key words assigned by Pat Sheahan to highlight the main topics of the article. In an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific topic, KRO has extracted these key words and developed a list of major key words presented in this Key Word Index to which individual key words used in the article reference have been assigned. In most of the individual Key Word Reports the references are in crhonological order, though in some such as Deposits the order is first by key word and then chronological. Only articles classified as "technical" (mainly scientific journal articles) and "media" (independent media articles) are included in the Key Word Index. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow.

Diamond - Processing articles deal with the recovery of diamonds from diamond bearing material, be it of an alluvial or bedrock nature. Unlike metal mining where the end product is delivered as either a powder or an ingot, the objective of diamond mining is to recover individual diamond crystals. Whereas a unit of copper or gold has the same value based exclusively on weight, a diamond's value is a function of weight and quality, with an exponentially higher value the bigger the diamond. A major diamond processing theme is thus the recovery of diamonds as efficiently as possible without crushing higher value large stones. A related topic that applies once the "liberation" problem has been solved is the extraction of diamonds from the rest of the material.

	Abstract: In May 2009 a test work programme was carried out at the sorting laboratory of CommodasUltrasort in Germany which was aimed at establishing the efficiency of Xray transmission sorting for the recovery of unliberated diamonds in a size range of +8mm. A PRO Tertiary XRT belt sorter with a working width of 600mm and a belt speed of - 3mJs was used for the test work. Dual energy X-ray transmission sorting is a type of sensor-based sorting which uses an X-ray scanning system, The attenuation of the transmitting X-rays is measured at two different energy levels, Thereby it is possible to eliminate the effect of the particle thickness on the measurement result. The effective measurement results in a classification by elemental order based on the periodic table. Diamonds are mostly composed of Carbon, which has an atomic number of 6. Compared to Silicon with an atomic number of 14, Diamonds show up much lighter on an XRT image than Silica-based gravels (typical DMS sinks material usually has more dense minerals such as Fe, and Mn which shows an even, darker X-ray image than Si). Tests were run with ele.ven Boarl Diamonds in a size range of -15+8mm mixed into 13kg alluvial DMS sinks gravel in a size range of -25+8mm. All liberated Boart Diamonds were recovered at feed rates of 15t/h at average yields of 7.6g per ejected Diamond. In a second test series the Boarl Diamonds were covered in 20% Gypsum by weight and run again at 15t/h. All unliberated Diamonds were recovered at an average yield of 12.2g per ejected Diamond. The paper outlines the test work results in detail.

	Abstract: The article presents new test results on structural and chemical properties of mineral formations on the surface of natural hydrophilic diamonds using Raman, X-ray phase and Auger spectroscopy methods. Analysis of morphological features of nano formations involved scanning electron microscope Jeol-5610 and analyzer INCA. Based on the studies into phase composition of diamonds non-recovered in the circuit of kimberlite ore processing, two types of mineral formations are discovered on their surface: microformations as silicate nature globules less than 1 ?m in size and silicate nano films more than 5 nm thick. The tests detect also presence of layered talc silicates that make diamond surface hydrophilic.

	Abstract: A method for detecting large-size diamonds with low content in a complex mixture was described. Phase identification via conventional X-ray diffraction method is unsuitable because of the large-size and low-content characteristics of the diamonds. Thus, we proposed a convenient approach (i.e., rocking scan) for assessing the presence of low-content diamonds in a complex mixture. A thorough rocking scan of the (111), (220), and (311) planes revealed the presence of low-content diamonds prepared by reducing dense carbon dioxide with alkali metals. This procedure can be successfully applied to several standard mixture samples prepared by mixing ?-SiO2, ?-Al2O3, graphite, and pure diamond powders, which are commercially available. We estimated that the detection limit was at or below the 0.1?wt% level by using the proposed method under the current condition. This method is straightforward, routinized, and may be specifically developed to satisfy the requirements of public and private institutions for a rapid identification of other mixture phases, of which the large-size and low-content characteristics do not allow an instant phase identification by conventional X-ray diffraction methods.

	Abstract: Kimberlite is the host rock of diamonds and varies widely in geological and mineralogical features as well as color, processing capability, and dewatering characteristics. This study investigated the dewatering behavior of problematic Angolan kimberlites. The presence of clay minerals in kimberlite causes difficulties in dewatering due to high flocculant demand, poor supernatant clarity, and low settling rates. Identifying critical parameters governing the settling behavior will assist in managing the settling behavior of different kimberlite slurries. The influence of particle size, pH of the kimberlite slurry, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable sodium percentage, and smectite content of the kimberlite on the settling rate were investigated for 18 different African kimberlite samples. The settling rate and slurry bed compaction during natural settling were also measured for the kimberlite slurries. Seventeen different Angolan clay-rich kimberlites and one South African clay-rich kimberlite were tested, and, except for two kimberlites, colloidal stability was experienced during natural settling. The pH values of the kimberlite slurries ranged between 9 and 11, which is similar to the pH band where colloidal stability was found during earlier research. The results indicate that colloidal stable slurries were experienced with kimberlites that had exchangeable sodium percentages as low as 0.7%. The cation exchange capacity of the various kimberlites differentiated more distinctly between colloidal stability and instability. A new model is proposed whereby clay-rich kimberlites with a cation exchange capacity of more than 10cmol/kg will experience colloidal stability if the pH of the solvent solution is within the prescribed pH range of 9-11.

	Abstract: The petrology and bulk-rock sulphur isotopic compositions of kimberlite samples from four localities (Bultfontein, De Beers, Kimberley, Wesselton) of the archetypal Kimberley cluster, South Africa, were used to investigate the origin(s) of S in kimberlites and gain insights into the occurrence of recycled crustal material in the source of Mesozoic kimberlites. The samples, which show variable degrees of alteration, are all hypabyssal and were derived from coherent root-zones as well as dykes and sills. Typical sulphide minerals are Cu-Fe-Ni-sulphides with less common pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and djerfisherite. They occur in a variety of textural associations, for example as groundmass phases, secondary inclusions in olivine, inclusions in matrix phases (e.g., phlogopite), or in carbonate-serpentine segregations. Barite is the most commonly observed sulphate phase. Bulk-sample ?34SVCDT values of sulphides in fresh kimberlites, which mostly do not contain barite, vary from - 2.0 to -5.7 ‰. Slightly altered kimberlite samples, in which sulphides were generally associated with serpentine, returned somewhat higher bulk-sulphide ?34SVCDT (-3.8 to +1.1 ‰). One sample from the Wesselton Water Tunnel Sills complex contains abundant barite and pyrite in its groundmass, with the latter having ?34SVCDT (+0.2 to +1.9 ‰) similar to altered kimberlites. Two further altered samples returned ?34SVCDT values (-10.1 to -13.0 ‰) that suggest a contribution from the local country rocks (Dwyka shale: ?34SVCDT from -10.2 to -10.5 ‰). All samples have near-zero ?33S values, suggesting that material displaying mass-independent fractionation has not played an important role. The negative ?34SVCDT values of fresh kimberlites from Kimberley suggest the involvement of recycled crustal material in their source, which is consistent with radiogenic isotope compositions. Overall, it appears that most kimberlitic sulphide S isotopic compositions can be explained by the action of a few typical magmatic/hydrothermal processes. One of the most important performance indicators of a dense medium cyclone (DMC) circuit is the Tromp curve, and by extension the separation density and Ecart Probable (Ep) values. The densimetric profiles of DMC product streams have been traditionally acquired using heavy liquid sinkfloat analysis, which has certain disadvantages, such as the associated safety and health risks. More recently, non-toxic media such as lithium hetero-polytungstates (LST) have been used, with the desired densities being achieved by maintaining the solutions at specific temperatures. However, the high costs of these liquids can be prohibitive. The long turnaround time of the sink-float analysis is a further disadvantage for timeous interventions to the operating set-points of the DMC process. The RhoVol technology can generate the density distribution of a batch of particles in a rapid, accurate, repeatable, and safe manner. Additional data of interest, such as particle size and shape, are also measured and reported on a per-particle basis. Furthermore, samples can be sorted into discrete sorting bins based on any of the measured parameters of the particle, making further analyses of the material possible. This technology has applications across all commodities that use the DMC, particularly in the size fractions 25 +8 mm and 8 +3 mm. To date, laboratory results have proved very encouraging separation densities are within 5% of traditional sink-float results, and the technology is being introduced to diamond DMC plants.

	Abstract: Southern Africa is generally thought to be well explored, with only limited potential for major new diamond discoveries. However, Chiadzwa in Zimbabwe and reports of a significant new kimberlite find in Angola are testimony to the dangers attached to an attitude that 'there is nothing left to find'. Since the major discoveries in the central interior of South Africa in the 1870s, diamond exploration in the region has been led by market and political factors that influence the key exploration drivers of opportunity and value proposition. Unexpected new discoveries by new players always impact on existing producers and, from time to time, denial of opportunity through political or protectionist policies has inhibited investment in exploration. Entrepreneurial exploration appetite in southern Africa will be tempered by the potential value equation and security of investment. Overlaid on this, developments in diamond recovery technologies provide opportunity to reinvigorate current mines and old prospects previously considered too difficult or costly to exploit. Position on the cost curve will remain a key factor for survival in an increasingly competitive environment.

The mechanism and parameters of froth flotation stimulation for diamond-bearing materials by thermal and electrochemical effects.	Journal of Mining Science, Vol. 57, 2, pp. 286-297. pdf	Russia	IPKON RAS
	Abstract: The thermodynamic analysis and tests of minerogenesis under higher temperatures determine conditions of thermochemical decomposition of hydrophilic attachments on diamond surface. It is found that hydrophilic mineral attachments can be removed from diamond surface by combining thermal treatment of slurry at the temperature of 80-85 ?C with electrochemical treatment of recirculated water, which enables required change in ion-molecule composition of water phase in the slurry. The hybrid conditioning technology ensures recovery of the natural hydrophobic behavior and floatability of diamonds and enhances performance of froth flotation of diamonds by 5.1%.
