The problems connected with quantity and quality evaluation of the economical efficiency of iinnovations in the mining industry are considered in the paper. The essence of «novelty» for example for working ore mill is detailed. Changing key parameters of the technological process, which are not directly connected with «novelty» leads to necessity of making a three-factor (twofactor) mathematical model.
The research shows an effect of initial raw material’s dressing and metallization on the economics of metallized pellet’s production and utilization. We suggest using criterion, which reflects maximum efficiency per ton of a steel or a cast iron to determine an optimal degree and an economic tolerable limits of iron-ore-dressing and metallization of the iron-ore pellets. The research describes main conditions of optimal and tolerable iron-ore-dressing and metallization of the ironore pellets limit’s displacement.
The main types of titanium-containing raw materials of the mineral resource base of the Russian Federation are considered. To solve the problem of production of metallic titanium, its alloys and titanium dioxide in terms of quantitative and qualitative parameters, it is proposed to use and introduce into the national economic turnover both old and new types of titanium-containing raw materials. It will allow to provide our industry with own titanium mineral raw materials, more fully use the existing capacities for production of titanium sponge, metal and alloys, organize large-scale production of titanium pigments, significantly increase export supplies and expand their assortment.
The main prerequisites for organizing the production of strontium ferrite powders and new magnetically hard materials in the process of deep enrichment of Olenegorsk iron ores and the processing of the obtained superconcentrate are presented. Justification of organizational and technical solutions for rational use of production potential of OAO Olkon, formation and development on its basis of a new industry - powder metallurgy - is given. The tendency of increasing demand on the world market for iron powders and new ferrite hard magnetic materials and increase in their production, especially in economically developed countries, has been established. Forecast of production and consumption of iron powders and strontium ferrite magnets in Russia taking into account the forthcoming reforming and technical re-equipment of some branches of the national industry. The order of implementation of the program to expand the production of iron powders at OAO Olkon has been established.
