Recovery Potential of Gold and Silver from anode slimes by cyanidation and adsorption
(2012-07-23)Tine cyanidation process for extracting precious metals (gold and silver) from the anode slimes was investigated. The recovery of these metals from cyanidation solution by adsorption on activated cai-bon has been studied. ... -
The reduction of Masuku cassiterita concentrate by charcoal and carbon monoxide
(2012-08-13)The reduction of Masuku Cassiterite gravity concentrate by charcoal was investigated in the temperature range of 850 to 1100oC. A combination of sample weight loss measurements, exist gas analysis and chemical analysis ... -
Remote sensing estimation of spatial and temporal variability of actual evapotranspiration using SEBs Algorithm in the semi-arid Barotse Sub-Basin, South-Western Zambia
(2013-12-10)Evapotranspiration (ET) is a dominant hydrologic flux in the water budget of semi-arid areas.Thus, accurate estimation of its dynamics in such environments is critical for improvingN water resources management. In this ... -
Review and Design the Ventilation System of Mindola Sub-Vertical Shaft, Mopani, Kitwe
(University of Zambia, 2016)Temperatures and humidity at Mindola Sub-Vertical (MSV) shaft have been rising with depth as mining of lower lying copper reserves is achieved. This rise in temperature has been catalysed by a number factors notably the ... -

(2012-07-26)The literature on the mineral deposits and small-scale mining activities in Zambia has been reviewed. The present state of the industry has been described with particular reference to the supportive services given by various ... -
Spatial variations of groundwater quality in the Machile River Basin, Western Zambia
(2015-02-17)The source of salinity and the geochemical processes that control the groundwater salinization in the Machile River Basin within the Sesheke and Kazungula districts of Western and Southern provinces of Zambia are not well ... -
A stream sediment geochemical survey of the area around Acturus Mine, Zimbabwe
(2012-07-23)This study illustrates the use of stream sediment in mineral exploration in a semi-arid environm.ent area in central Zimbabwe. The distribution of As, Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn in different size fractions of both sorted and ... -
Structural and petrographic in the Chisamba and Kabwe areas, Central Zambia : implications for the late proterozoic Mwembeshi dislocation zone
(2013-01-18)In the Chisamba area, some lithologies hitherto mapped as quartzites and dolomitic marbles are quartz mylonites and interbanded calc-silicate, marble and amphibolites, respectively. Both meso-and microstructural fabrics ... -
A technical and economic appraisal for optimal exploitation of the H sub-incline complex at Nchanga underground mine
(The University of Zambia, 2017)Nchanga Underground mine uses a block caving variant to extract the lower ore body of the Nchanga syncline. The deepest part of the ore body, the H Sub-Incline complex, is thin with 4.39m average thickness, 5.27% weighted ... -
Techno-economic potential for mining Zambia’s low grade copper ore deposits: the case of Kakosa South deposit
(The University of Zambia, 2019)Mining is an important economic activity in many developed and developing countries and has the potential to shape and affect economies directly and indirectly. Zambia is regarded as a mining country because of the ... -
Towards an optimal capturing of rent for Zambia's large scale copper miming industry
(The University of Zambia, 2018)Zambia is largely a mineral economy faced with challenges of designing a tax system that meets two fundamental objectives namely to ensure a fair share of rent for itself and simultaneously allowing for sufficient ... -
The use of remote sensing and gis for drought risk assessment: the case of southern province, Zambia.
(The University of Zambia, 2020)Water plays a major role in human livelihoods and has significant implications to food security. Hydrological extremes are a major threat to society and can have extensive effects. Droughts compound the already increasing ... -
Water accessibility at Household levels in Chililabombwe District: A case study of Fitobaula Settlement
(2015-01-29)Zambia is endowed with a great variety of natural resources. For instance, Zambia has good climate with a favourable rainfall pattern; this provides sufficient recharge for the surface and ground water resources. In spite ...
