Open-Pit Mine Optimization with Maximum SatisfiabilityMinerals & Metallurgical Processing - Tập 36 - Trang 757-764 - 2019
Matthew Deutsch
A common casualty of modern open-pit mine optimization is the assurance that the resulting design is actually achievable. Optimized mine plans that consider value and a bare minimum of precedence constraints do not, in general, translate into practical, operational mine designs that can be used in the field. Ultimate pits may come to a sharp point at the bottom. Schedules may require taking small ...... hiện toàn bộ
Corrosive and Erosive Wear in Magnetic Taconite GrindingMinerals & Metallurgical Processing - Tập 1 - Trang 10-14 - 1984
K. A. Natarajan, S. C. Riemer, I. Iwasaki
The relative significance of corrosive and erosive wear in magnetic taconite grinding is examined. The influence of different types of aeration (nitrogen, air, and oxygen) on hall wear was established for mild steel and high carbon low alloy steel balls. Ball wear data from dry and wet grinding tests are compared with those obtained in the presence of an organic solvent that does not promote elect...... hiện toàn bộ
Results of an Opioid Hazard Awareness Training Intervention for Stone, Sand, and Gravel MinersMinerals & Metallurgical Processing - - 2021
Cora Roelofs
In the USA, miners are at higher risk for work-related disorders that could precipitate an opioid prescription, injury-related opioid prescriptions, and opioid overdose. We aimed to support prevention of these outcomes with an “opioid hazard awareness” miner safety training module. In January and February 2020, the training module was embedded within required mining safety and health training for ...... hiện toàn bộ
Bulking Based Porosity Method to Predict Floodable Volume of Longwall GobMinerals & Metallurgical Processing - Tập 38 - Trang 1845-1859 - 2021
Joshua M. Silvis, Greg J. Hasenfus, Allison M. Haines
The floodable volume of longwall gob can be of great importance in developing accurate coal mine operation plans, particularly for mine water management and environmental control strategies. Given the inaccessibility and difficulty in direct measurement of gob characteristics following gob recompression, hydrologic, geomechanical, and spatial data and principles were used to solve for the porosity...... hiện toàn bộ
Mineworkers’ Perceptions of Mobile Proximity Detection SystemsMinerals & Metallurgical Processing - Tập 36 - Trang 647-655 - 2019
Jennica L. Bellanca, LaTasha R. Swanson, Justin Helton, Michael McNinch
Accident data indicates that mobile haulage poses a significant pinning, crushing, and striking risk. Proximity detection systems (PDSs) have the potential to protect mineworkers from these risks. However, unintended consequences of mobile PDSs can undermine the safety benefit they provide. Soliciting iterative user input can improve the design process. Users help provide a critical understanding ...... hiện toàn bộ
Review of electrical separation methodsMinerals & Metallurgical Processing - Tập 17 - Trang 23-36 - 2000
H. R. Manouchehri, K. Hanumantha Rao, K. S. E. Forssberg
The fundamentals of electrical separation, the electrical properties of minerals, the principal methods used for charging minerals and their mechanisms, the effective factors controlling the acquisition of charges by minerals, the general configuration of commercial electric separators and the forces operating during electrical separation of minerals are reviewed and presented.
