Metallurgical Accounting & Mass Balance Toolkit for Processing Plants
Most mineral processing plants report tonnage and recovery — but very few can prove where the metal actually goes.
This toolkit provides a simple, operational way to perform metallurgical accounting and mass balance using the same methods used by professional metallurgists — but adapted for daily plant use by supervisors and engineers.
If you are responsible for:
- Shift reporting
- Recovery figures
- Loss investigations
- Monthly plant performance
This toolkit gives you control and clarity.
What This Toolkit Helps You Do
✔ Verify whether reported recoveries are real
✔ Identify metal losses to tailings
✔ Reconcile feed, concentrate, and tailings
✔ Detect reporting and sampling errors
✔ Produce reliable daily and monthly figures
✔ Support technical discussions with management
This is not academic theory — it is plant-level metallurgical control.
What’s Included
📘 Professional PDF Guide
A practical guide covering:
- What metallurgical accounting really means in a plant
- How mass balance works
- How to interpret recoveries and losses
- Moisture correction and dry tonnage
- Shift → daily → monthly reconciliation
- Supervisor responsibilities
- Iron ore case example
- Daily metallurgical accounting checklist
📊 Excel Templates
You receive 4 ready-to-use spreadsheets:
1. Daily Mass Balance Sheet
Track feed, concentrate, and tailings and immediately see if your numbers balance.
2. Recovery & Loss Calculator
Automatically calculates:
- Head metal
- Recovered metal
- Metal lost
- Recovery %
- Loss %
3. Moisture Correction Sheet
Convert wet tonnage to dry tonnage so recoveries are calculated correctly.
4. Daily to Monthly Reconciliation Sheet
Link shift and daily data to monthly plant performance.
Who This Toolkit Is For
This product is designed for:
- Mineral processing shift supervisors
- Junior and senior metallurgists
- Processing engineers
- Plant superintendents
- Anyone responsible for production reporting and recovery
It is especially useful in iron ore, base metal, and industrial mineral plants.
What Makes This Different
Most metallurgical accounting systems are:
- Too complex
- Too academic
- Or only used by head office
This toolkit is built for:
- Daily plant operations
- Shift-level control
- Practical decision-making
It turns metallurgical accounting into something you can actually use on the plant floor.
