A large magnetic separator on display also drew a crowd. With processing capacity and beneficiation requirements unchanged, the new technology shrinks equipment volume by about 50 percent and cuts operating energy consumption by about 30 percent, while boosting beneficiation indicators by about 20 percent.

　　Beneficiation in mining refers to the series of processes that transform raw ore into a concentrated product of higher economic value.

　　Li Chaopeng, deputy general manager of LONGi Magnet Co., Ltd., said the equipment has been deployed in more than 70 countries and regions, most recently at an iron ore project in Brazil.

　　"Our equipment uses less energy, recovers more resources from tailings and reduces iron ore waste, better meeting the mining industry's demand for automated and intelligent development," Li said.

　　These Chinese green practices caught the eye of Andrew Thake, an Australian mining industry practitioner and divisional director at Beacon Events & Exhibitions.

　　"When I speak to many of our Chinese clients, they take sustainability very seriously. They have very strong sustainability standards," Thake said, adding that China's green mining practices, built up over more than a decade, offer useful pointers for green development under different resource endowments and development conditions.

　　China has established complete institutional, standard and evaluation systems for green mining development, while vigorously promoting technologies, such as backfill mining, comprehensive utilization of solid waste and clean energy substitution in mining areas.

　　Chinese mining enterprises are also actively participating in overseas cooperation projects to advance green mining worldwide.
