Reduction in Major Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Mineral Comminution Using Ultra-High-Intensity Blasting (UHIB)—A Study for the Chilean Mining Industry

Comminution is the most energy-intensive stage in mineral processing and a major source of indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in mining. This study evaluates the impact of Ultra-High-Intensity Blasting (UHIB) on downstream comminution energy demand a
