Reclamation of tailings facilities at oil sands mines in northern Alberta presents a significant challenge for industry, regulators, and researchers. Atterberg limits are an established method for quantifying clay behaviour in geotechnical engineerin...

This article delineates the outcomes of a comprehensive analysis of occupational conditions in coal mining, focusing on dust exposure. A multifaceted model is proposed for the holistic evaluation of occupational environments, integrating risk assessm...

This paper presents a real-time quarry truck monitoring system that combines deep learning and license plate recognition (LPR) for operational monitoring and weighbridge reconciliation. Rather than estimating load volumes directly from imagery, the s...

Suspended conveyor belts are widely used in mining, including in systems with non-contact support such as magnetically suspended conveyors, where the maximum admissible linear mass of the loaded belt determines the required supporting forces. This pa...

The mining industry places high priority on occupational safety, process quality and operational efficiency. Roadheaders are widely deployed in coal mines to support fully automated excavation, reducing workers’ physical strain and improving ov...

This article describes the current status and future development trends of mine hoist control systems. The growing market demand for hoists and the need for stable, uninterrupted operation ensure the practical application of this article. A permanent...

Despite technological advancements in mining, Chile lacks comprehensive risk management models for tailings storage facilities (TSFs), which hinders the prevention and mitigation of structural and environmental risks. This study aims to develop an in...

Reliable detection of defects in steel wire ropes is pivotal to ensuring safety and maintaining operational reliability of hoisting and lifting systems in mining and other industries. This study proposes an automated monitoring method based on analyz...

Drillstring vibrations are detrimental to drill bits and downhole equipment, affecting drilling efficiency and operational cost in severe drillstring vibration cases. The complex behavior of drillstring vibration, including axial–torsional&ndas...

The determination of the elemental composition of minerals at mining enterprises is important at all stages of mineral processing. An evaluation of metrological characteristics achieved through the online analysis of lump, ore, charge feed, cake and...
