However, experimental results show that certain solid fractions known as Organic Rich Solids (ORS) negatively affect the overall bitumen recovery. A conceptual mine planning framework based on a goal programming model for oil sands production scheduling and waste management is presented. Bitumen recovery is additionally adjusted based on the ORS content. The model features automated production targeting (APT) and limited duration stockpiling constraints that optimize the annual production capacities. The model is implemented with two scenarios. Scenario 1 uses processing recovery calculated based on Alberta Energy Regulatory requirements while Scenario 2 uses processing recovery additionally adjusted based on ORS content. Results for Scenario 1 show a 3.46% overestimation of net present value compared to Scenario 2. The APT constraints provide planners a robust and efficient technique for determining annual production tonnages with minimum periodic variations.","PeriodicalId":44166,"journal":{"name":"Mining Technology-Transactions of the Institutions of Mining and Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77578151","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}

The transversely isotropic assumption allows consideration of the role of overburden conditions, specifically the spacing of bedding discontinuities. The shape and height of the collapse zone are like those produced in physical models and are consistent with subsidence measurements. The interaction between the disruption and break-through to the surface is examined using voussoir beam analysis. Break-through to the surface, which implies a fracture connection to the extraction level, may be associated with surface subsidence in excess of about 300 mm or a compressive strain in excess of about 4 mm/m.","PeriodicalId":44166,"journal":{"name":"Mining Technology-Transactions of the Institutions of Mining and Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75690012","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}

One of these phenomena is the throttle effect, reducing the mass flow. This paper investigates the nature of the throttle effect. Data was provided from fire experiments in a model-scale mine drift. With an increasing heat release rate the reduction in the mass flow will increase. An increasing ventilation velocity may initially cause a reduction of the mass flow. With a further increase of the flow velocity the mitigating effect of the forced flow will increase. A dimensional analysis resulted in an equation where the mass flow reduction could be reasonably well described. It was found that the flow velocity had a weak effect on the mass flow reduction. Nevertheless, the flow velocity influence the initiation of the reduced mass flow. A full-scale flow velocity of 3.5 m/s was found to prevent the throttle effect for typical fires underground.","PeriodicalId":44166,"journal":{"name":"Mining Technology-Transactions of the Institutions of Mining and Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86771806","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}

Key performance indicators were calculated for both diesel and electric LHDs using the data provided by a multinational mining company operating metal mines.

The electric fleet was, on average, operational 11 h longer than diesel vehicles before they are pulled off for maintenance. The results from comparing diesel and electric equipment show that the best equipment would be a fusion of the reliability of electric vehicles and the mobility of diesel equipment, both being attributes of battery powered equipment.

To date, there are two schools of thought on the use of the Original and Modified Stability Graph number factors. This paper is aimed at answering the question: Is there a difference between the Original and the modified stability number factors? To answer this question, a critical examination of the Extended Mathews and Modified Stability Graph databases was conducted to create a combined database of 316 datapoints. One version of the database was based on the original number factors, while a second was based on the modified factors. Logistic regression methods were applied to redefine the stope stability state boundaries. We concluded that differences between the stope stability states transition zones in the Stability Graphs are due to the differences in size of the databases rather than differences in the Original and Modified Stability Graph number factors.","PeriodicalId":44166,"journal":{"name":"Mining Technology-Transactions of the Institutions of Mining and Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76208693","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}

Ventilation on demand is not widely used in Brazil, but the Ipueira, Cuiaba, and Corrego do Sitio I mines reported savings of 26%, 30%, and 21%, respectively, following its application. Frequency inverters are used to control the rotation of the main fans during shift changes. The Cuiaba mine has a control room and fans are monitored online using wireless scattered sensors. Data from field studies were compared to other foreign mines. The results showed that the application of this technique, even in an experimental way, can reduce electricity consumption significantly. Despite the energy savings that can be achieved by providing air only when/where it is needed, the costs of automation, software, and infrastructure mean that it is not practical to apply this technique at a more advanced level.","PeriodicalId":44166,"journal":{"name":"Mining Technology-Transactions of the Institutions of Mining and Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79674648","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}

The aim of this paper is to assess the stope stability in connection with the stress relaxation using a classification approach. Three types of stress relaxation were clearly defined, namely partial relaxation, tangential relaxation and full relaxation. A neural network classifier was implemented to assess the stability of the stopes on the basis of case histories of stope performances. The results of the classification were compared to existing empirical methods of quantifying the stress relaxation. Overall, the present study shows higher classification accuracies, especially when the stress relaxation was considered. The results suggested that the relaxation type can be a good predictor of stability. Relaxed stope (full and tangential stress relaxation) cases are the most critical in the sense that lower accuracies were obtained and the probability of correct classification is rather erratic.","PeriodicalId":44166,"journal":{"name":"Mining Technology-Transactions of the Institutions of Mining and Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/25726668.2020.1721995","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72495279","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}

The authors developed and tested the performance of a K45-4-№9/18.5 kW axial mine fan adjusted by a variable frequency driver set to different fractions of a typical national electric grid frequency of 50 Hz. Its volumetric flow-rate and static pressure (Q-H) data were fitted with fifth-order polynomial equations using least-squares regression. The extremes of the Q-H curves descend with decreasing frequency and differ significantly from the predictions of classic affinity laws (CAL) in fluid dynamics. The air-flow power predicted by CAL theory deviates from the baseline of the fifth-order polynomial extremes by a maximum of 48%. Interestingly, the deviation between theoretical and experimental values increases with decreasing power frequency.
