This paper aims to address the significant financial, environmental, and social risks posed by climate change to the mining industry, which is responsible for approximately 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With 70% of mining projects for the si...

In this work the adsorption and immobilization of copper ions of four different Technosols constructed with wastes were tested. These soils were made from mixtures of limestone wastes, organic matter, sand, and bentonite. The methods used were &ldquo...

Oil sand tailings are a mixture of sand, fines, water, and a residual amount of un-extracted bitumen in varying proportions. Tailings management is highly dependent on the consolidation behavior of the tailings. Although a great deal of work on this...

Rock bolts are one of the most effective and conventional support techniques widely used in underground mining and tunneling operations to stabilize excavations and jointed rock masses. External factors such as corrosion, overloading, and improper in...

Open pit mining is based on dynamic operations within the open pit, with the haulage operation being the most decisive in terms of the cost and the overall productivity of the operation. A vital aspect for the success of the haulage operation are the...

The island of Cyprus is famous for its rich deposits of volcanic mineralisation that yielded large quantities of copper, gold, and silver. The abandonment of the waste material in several dump sites during exploitation severely impacted the environme...

Dredged river sediments produce a huge volume of mineral materials, which could be incorporated into building materials. Considering the raw sediment preparation, mineral processing techniques fit perfectly to this purpose. This work describes two pr...

Preventive maintenance practices have been proven to reduce maintenance costs in many industries. In the mining industry, preventive maintenance is the main form of maintenance, especially for mobile equipment. With the increase of sensor data and th...

Truck-Shovel (TS) systems are the most common mining system currently used in large surface mines. They offer high productivity combined with the flexibility to be rapidly relocated and to adjust load/haul capacity and capital expenditure according t...
