It is also called as coal-gas compound dynamic disaster for academia. In this paper, we propose a new classification system of coal-gas compound dynamic disasters. The coal-gas compound dynamic disasters are divided into three types named rockburst-induced outburst dynamic disaster, outburst-induced rockburst dynamic disaster, outburst and rockburst coupling dynamic disaster. And the occurrence mechanism and energy criterion of each kind of compound dynamic disaster are discussed. We suggest that integrated prevention and control strategies of coal-gas compound dynamic disasters should be adopted by eliminating the gas internal energy and releasing the elastic energy. We also believe that using big data to improve the prediction and control level of coal-gas compound dynamic disasters is the key research direction in the future.","PeriodicalId":38622,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining and Mineral Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41816183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cokriging is a multivariate prediction method in spatial statistics which considers the spatial dependence as well as predicting the dependence between variables. In addition, fractal concentration-area (C-A) model was used for determining the geochemical anomalies in Janja region. Eight elements (Au, Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, As, Mo and Pb) from 300 stream sediment samples were used to identify geochemical anomalies. The geochemical maps obtained from cokriging and fractal modelling showed that geochemical anomalies for copper and gold are located in the north, NW, and centre of the study area. Comparing the anomalies maps of the elements showed a correlation between elements of gold, copper, molybdenum, and iron in the region. Also, a negative correlation was determined between arsenic with gold and copper elements and there was not any correlation between the gold and copper elements of the region with manganese, lead, and zinc. For examining the results of the studies more closely, some of the data were analysed and evaluated using concentration-area (C-A) fractal model.","PeriodicalId":38622,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining and Mineral Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41882618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper establishes a conceptual analysis of peak phosphate as a powerful tool and it uses Gompertz and logistic models for measuring Jordan's phosphate peak year, peak production and depletion time. Our results showed that based on logistic and Gompertz models results, Jordan's phosphate is likely to peak in 2044 and 2048, respectively. Phosphate production has already passed the peak year in Al-Hasa and Al-Abiad mines. The logistic model for Jordan phosphate which has a peak year of 2048 and a production volume of 15.2 million tonnes matched exactly the Gompertz model for Al-Shidiyah mine which confirms that Jordan's future phosphate production will totally depend on Al-Shidiyah mine.","PeriodicalId":38622,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining and Mineral Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45998360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
