The greatest challenges for contemporary and future natural resource production are sociotechnical by nature, from public perceptions of mining to responsible mineral supply chains. The term sociotechnical signals that engineered systems have inheren...

Integrated Optimization can find optimized solutions for a project to define open pit and mine scheduling with greater reliability. This work aims to demonstrate how the insertion of geometallurgical variables can significantly change the financial r...

In this research, data analytics and machine learning were used to identify the performance metrics of loaders and haul trucks during mining operations. We used real-time collected data from loaders and haul trucks operating in multiple quarries to b...

Mining-induced subsidence can have significant environmental and infrastructural impacts, making subsidence engineering a crucial consideration. However, the unique nature of salt caverns and the increasing demand for reliable subsidence prediction m...

Blasting operations in open-pit mines generally have various management strategies relating to flyrock. There are empirical models for calculating the flyrock distance, but due to the complexity and uncertainty of rock properties and their interactio...

With the understanding that the mining industry is an important and necessary part of the production chain, we argue that the future of mining must be sustainable and responsible when responding to the increasing material demands of the current and n...

This work aims to prepare and characterize the unburned carbon obtained from gasification residues and evaluate its application as an adsorbent for the removal of textile dye contaminants. The results of physical and chemical properties showed a spec...

Here, we present a numerical model for simulating the formation and evolution of the gas and dust cloud that forms after the detonation of high explosive charges in boreholes. This model provides a possible method for converting a substance ejected f...

One of the best technologies available for metal removal from mining effluents is the precipitation of metals as sulfides. However, the high cost and difficulty in managing reagents limit its widespread application. Recent literature suggests the use...

Few studies have been published on the analysis and correlation of data from process mineralogical studies of gold ore employing artificial neural networks (ANNs). This study aimed to analyse and investigate the correlations obtained by the technolog...

From the rupture of the Fundão dam in Mariana–MG, there are tailings still present at the bottom of the plant that must be recovered. The flocculation followed by sedimentation operation can be applied as a unit operation in this recover...

Gold mining has serious negative environmental impacts, especially due to pollution emanating from tailings storage facilities (TSFs, tailings dams, slimes dams). The most important forms of pollution from TSFs are acid mine drainage (AMD) and high l...

Potash fertilizer production is one of the most important economic activities. Historically, potash mining has had a significant impact on the environment, often with catastrophic consequences. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of...
