About Short tons per day
The short ton per day (ton/d, US) equals 907.18474/86400 ≈ 0.010499 kg/s, the capacity unit for mid-size mining operations, smelters, and US water-treatment chemical dosing. A small gold mine may process 500-1 000 short ton/d of ore; activated-sludge wastewater plants dose chemicals in short ton/d. 1 short ton/d ≈ 0.010499 kg/s ≈ 2 000 lb/d.
About Metric tons per minute
The metric tonne per minute (t/min) equals 1 000/60 ≈ 16.667 kg/s, used for large-scale mining conveyor capacity, bulk-carrier loading terminals, and industrial furnace melt rates. A Cape-size bulk carrier loads iron ore at 3 000-5 000 t/h = 50-83 t/min; a large electric arc furnace taps ≈100-200 t of steel per heat over roughly 60-90 min. 1 t/min = 1 000/60 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/min.
