The high content of iron in ilmenite ore poses a great challenge, particularly in the synthesis of titanium-containing products due to high susceptibility of iron (Fe) to corrosion. Direct leaching of ilmenite ore in hydrochloric acid (HCl) encouragi...

The Longdong area in the Ordos basin is a typical fluvial reservoir with strong heterogeneity. In order to clarify the distribution law of underground reservoirs in the Longdong area, it is necessary to establish and optimize a 3D geological model to...

An alternative process to obtain a high degree of dewatering tailings that produces a high-density product is presented in this article. This technology involves the combination of tailings particle grain size classification by hydrocyclones (HC) and...

Although chert deposits are limited in geological distribution, their geological and geochemical characteristics can provide important information to reconstruct paleoenvironmental and diagenetic processes. For the Permian period, cherts are utilized...

In this study, the dynamic compressive strength and dissipated energy of rocks were investigated under hydrostatic pressure after different freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs). A split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) with a lateral confining pressure chamb...

Ore bodies incubating within fault zones are a common phenomenon in geological strata and pose a huge challenge for underground mining. To effectively exploit mineral resources, the layout of the mining roadway and the interaction between the roadway...

Numerous studies have focused on the mechanical properties of shale specimens to support hydraulic fracturing in shale gas engineering. However, the failure modes of shale specimens containing a pre-existing flaw are still not clear. A series of unia...

Coal mining activities have a series of impacts on the local eco-environment, such as air pollution due to the release of toxic gases, contamination of soil with heavy metals, disturbance and contamination of surface and subsurface water, and damage...

In order to achieve rapid heading of deep arch coal roadways under goaf, the maximum unsupported roof distance (URD), surrounding rock stability of unsupported roof area and influencing factors, and rapid heading equipment and processes for these roa...

The Paraíba is an Au-Cu-Mo deposit located in the southern part of the Amazon Craton, in the Alta Floresta Mineral Province, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. It is composed of Au-Cu-bearing quartz veins and Cu-Mo-rich hydrothermal breccias and stock...
