The resistance of frozen rocks at coal mines to digging with mining equipment can be reduced by their preliminary softening with the use of surfactants. The paper discusses the softening effect of aqueous surfactant solutions on samples of frozen overburden rocks. The authors demonstrate that treatment of rocks with solutions of optimal composition and concentration decreases their strength, which makes it possible to enhance the efficiency of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying Systems based on the rotary mechanical shovel in combination with a conveyor as well as the use of continuous miners. Experimental data are presented on the strength properties of artificially made samples of overburden rocks from the Kangalassky coal deposit saturated with surfactant solutions of different concentrations. The authors point out that the highest decrease in the samples strength is achieved when using aqueous solution of aluminum chloride. The results of experiments carried out to establish the effects of distilled water (H2O) and NaCl solutions of different concentrations on the strength properties of fine-grained sandstones from the Elga coal deposit are presented, which confirm that at the temperature of -10°С the maximum reduction of up to 55% is achieved in the strength of the samples, and when the temperature decreases from -10°С to -20°С a slight increase is observed in the sample strength. The authors suggest that the use of surfactants will reduce the strength of the frozen overburden soils, thus making it possible to apply a blast-free mining technology.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139159642","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}

In-pit excavators, which provide removal and loading of muck piles, are one of the main process links in the system of complex mechanization of open-pit mines. The level of mining operation intensity is determined by the arrangement of excavators in the open pit. Research objective. The research aims to develop a method of automated positioning of excavators at the production benches of the open pit mine. Methodology. Arrangement of in-pit excavators excavators at the production benches of the open pit mine is based on calculations, computer modeling and ia made with account of technical and operational parameters of the excavators, as well as estimation of the active front of mining operations. The main stage of solving the formulated problem is the construction of block models of the ore body, modeling of mining operations, and building a model of the open pit mine by the stages of the deposit development.

The purpose of this work is to explain the magnetic properties of substance, generation of magnetic field and electric current with due account for the known laws of physics and the Quantum theory. We believe that addressing these tasks needs to begin with the energy produced by the magnet. The method of inducing electric energy using magnetic field of a permanent magnet is chosen as the research subject. The historical mythological bases of interpreting the induction of electric energy are shown. Modern instruments prove that the magnetic field is the electromagnetic emissions of magnets. A hypothesis regarding the origin of magnetic properties of substance is developed based on analysis of the known magnetic properties of alpha-iron. Two features of the magnetic properties of substance have been revealed, which differ from Ampere's ideas. The first is the local volume of atoms combined by short-acting covalent bonds, forming a natural crystalline or artificially elongated structure. The second is that the frequency of electromagnetic emissions by the valence electrons of all the atoms in Hertz is approximately the same. The total radiation of energy by all the atoms in local formations generates a magnetic field. The hypothesis is confirmed by circuits and information on instruments that measure the emission of magnets in Hertz. When the energy absorbed by electrons increases, the bond between atoms is broken and magnetic emissions cease. All substances in liquid and solid aggregate state begin to radiate electromagnetic emissions to other substances under the impact of external electromagnetic emissions. This is confirmed by photographic evidence of the performed experiments. A hypothesis is proposed, which differs from the ideas about the movement of free electrons by the fact that the formation of electric current is the result of absorbing electromagnetic emissions of the magnet by valence electrons of the electrical conductor and their transfer into the electric network. The physical phenomena of energy transfer between the transformer windings in an electric circuit prove that electric current is a concentrated flow of electromagnetic emissions, which are a wave form of energy.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"15 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139158254","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}

Two sub-classes of these types of emulsion explosives are defined depending on the main components used at the final stage of their production (a blast hole or mixing and charging machine) with or without addition of dry ammonium nitrate. Diagrams of semi-stationary and mobile technological complexes have been justified for production of emulsion explosives. A rationale was provided for the selection of the competing methods to produce and deliver emulsion explosives using the case of UK Kuzbassrazrezugol JSC with account of technological and economic factors. Three competing options were considered: (1) a stationary or semi-stationary technological complex to produce emulsion explosives; (2) a stationary technological complex based on the existing plant of Nitro Siberia-Kuzbass JSC (Kemerovo) under an outsourcing agreement; (3) a mobile technological complex as a case of partial outsourcing to the Nitro Siberia-Kuzbass JSC plant. Comparison of the competing options helped to identify the third option as the priority. In this option the cost of emulsion explosives is affected by the cost of basic components at the chemical plant; depreciation of the self-propelled component delivery vehicles (10-15 vehicles); operating and maintenance costs of the delivery vehicles; rental of the mixing and charging machines (1-2 vehicles) to produce and charge the emulsion explosives. After covering the capital expenses (1-1,5 years) there will be a reduction in cost up to 20% as compared to the second option.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"17 5‐6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139158190","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}

Studying the processes of formation and transformation of material flows allows us to clarify the design methodology of continuous haulage systems. The normative methodology of belt conveyors selection is based on treating the material flows as normally distributed random variables, with the point value, i.e. the irregularity coefficient, being used as the main indicator. There are doubts in methodological justification of such an approach. The normal law of distribution in the classical variant adequately describes a random variable changing within infinite limits, and real mine material flows via the conveyor lines are random variables with unilateral constraints. The majority of tasks on finding the design ranges of material flows can be solved using experimentally established distribution functions (or probability density functions) of random quantities of material flows. Based on the publications in recent years, as well as on our own experimental studies, it is proposed to describe material flows by piecewise linear probability density functions, in particular the triangular ones, and to summarize material flows on the basis of general theoretical provisions of classical probability theory. The paper solves a particular problem of finding an analytical solution of the sum of two random material flows defined by the triangular distribution laws and compares the results of numerical integration of the probability densities of the material flows.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"28 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139158314","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}

When they are mixed, coal-gas mixtures are formed, predisposed to various hazardous and extremely hazardous gas-dynamic phenomena, primarily to sudden emissions, accompanied by formation of cavities in the coal massif and intensive release of coal-gas mixtures from these cavities into the mine workings. The article deals with the problem of a one-dimensional stationary flow of a gas-coal mixture in an underground cone-shaped cavity formed during a sudden release. The Euler equation of motion and the continuity equation are used as the basic equations. As a result of their transformation, an ordinary differential equation of the first order is obtained, for which the Cauchy problem is formulated. The solution to the Cauchy problem is a transcendental equation with respect to the desired Mach numbers. The roots of the transcendental equation are calculated using the MathCAD mathematical software suite. Upon finding the Mach numbers, the remaining parameters of the mixture are determined, i.e. the pressure, density and temperature of the gas-coal mixture at any point in the conical region, including their critical values. Graphs are constructed that were used as the basis to establish some regularities of the one-dimensional stationary flow of a gascoal mixture in a conical region. In particular, it was found that with an increase in the Mach number, parameters of the gas-coal mixture decrease non-linearly, and with an increase in the Poisson's adiabatic index, the pressure and temperature decrease, and the density increases.","PeriodicalId":506182,"journal":{"name":"Mining Industry Journal (Gornay Promishlennost)","volume":"40 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139158922","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}
