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...
The mining industry faces the critical challenge of balancing economic profitability with environmental responsibility. Traditional mine planning models often prioritise financial gains, particularly Net Present Value (NPV), while placing less emphas...
Fires in underground mines pose significant risks to worker safety. In this study, a digital twin of an underground mine was created, and the heat, gas distribution, and airflow dynamics were investigated during and after the fire using computational...
With the weathering of iron sulfide minerals, acid rock drainage (ARD) emanates from the 60-millon tonne Main Waste Stockpile (MWS) at the Red Dog Mine. Following completion of the stockpile, a collection trench was constructed in 2012–2013 to...
The development of a geomechanical model is aimed at enhancing the safety of mining operations through the determination of optimal slope angles and the probabilistic assessment of pit wall stability. For the conditions of open-pit mining, three-dime...
This study examines Panama’s 2023 mining restrictions to illuminate persistent legitimacy crises in extractive governance. Employing a qualitative case study, it draws on 25 semi-structured interviews with government officials, industry represe...
