Mining, Volume 2, Issue 4

The global challenge for the mining sector is the problem of “decarbonization” of coal mining. The modeling of emission flows of coalmine methane is stipulated by the need to prove the environmental effect of the implemented technological...

This article presents an approach to rockfall hazard assessment for rocky slopes based on a previously published rockfall hazard methodology. The original method is appropriate to high alpine rocky slopes exposed to large scale deformations. It evalu...

Nowadays, with the advancement of technological innovations and wide implementation of modern mining equipment, research topics on mining equipment management are attracting more and more attention from both academic scholars and industrial practitio...

This study describes the direct and indirect effects of mining on the karst of the Bakony Region. For this, the results of geological and mining research of the last century, the results of hydrological research of fifty years, as well as the investi...

The important role of ventilation in underground mines is to ensure safety and adequate environmental conditions in all accessible areas of a mine. This research aims to develop low-cost solutions for monitoring ventilation parameters in underground...

This article presents an investigation of ground movement measurements based on a combination of TerraSAR-X and Sentinel-1 data, in opposite tracks, aiming to detect ground de-formation of the remaining dikes of Germano mine, after the Fundão...

The difficulty of effectively planning and assigning weekly activities has a significant influence on the long-term productivity of an underground mine. It is an especially difficult task to choose the best places for operations inside an underground...

Automation has been changing the mining industry for the past two decades. Material handling is a critical task in a mining operation, and truck-shovel handling systems are the primary method for surface mining. Mines have deployed autonomous trucks,...

The problem of dump recultivation associated with sulfide ore mining is always a challenge for ecologists. A special case is the Arctic, where the specific climate and short vegetative period mean that any traces of such activities can persist for ma...

This study illustrates the application of conditional simulations to calculate the uncertainty associated with the thickness of bauxite ores. The bauxite deposit of Rondon do Pará in northern Pará State, Brazil, is characterized by a we...

The blasting operation considerably influences the overall productivity of opencast mines, especially when blasting results in oversized fragments that impact the operations ranging from excavation to milling. In this work, a numerical analysis of bl...

In this study, the employment of the gene expression programming (GEP) technique in forecasting models on sustainable construction materials including mineral admixtures and civil engineering quantities (e.g., compressive strength), was investigated....
