Engineering of Complex Structure Apatite Deposits and Excavating-Sorting Equipment for Its Implementation

Article preview

Development of Oshurkovskoye apatite deposit with conventional methods, using drilling, blasting and then processing of extracted ore by means of flotation and construction of hydraulic structures to store wet tailings, turns out to be impossible, as the reservoir is located in a special ecological zone of Transbaikal; moreover, the deposit has a complex geological structure and a low grade of valuable component in the orebody. Refinement of the mineral product occurs primarily during its processing; however, ore grade can already be controlled in the process of its extraction. Advancement of technical facilities opens up new opportunities of selective mining for complex structure deposits. The purpose of this research is to create a technology, which will upgrade the quality of mineral substance, fed to the processing plant, directly at the extraction stage. The paper proposes a technological development scheme for Oshurkovskoye deposit using an excavating-sorting complex containing a transport-sorting facility and a measuring unit for estimation of the grade in a milled rock mass; it allows to separate a rich fine fraction of substandard ore, which under conventional mining practices would have been sent to the stockpile of temporarily substandard ore. Separation of fine fractions of apatite ore in the transport-sorting facility allows to reduce dusting during production and cuts the losses of valuable component, associated with aeration of fine fractions during loading and transportation of the rock mass. Positioning of oversize material in the open trench with its subsequent selective extraction by the loading machine facilitates non-stop operation of the mining-sorting equipment, which provides an increase in the productivity of mining operations.

Improving the technology of open-cast mining using surface miners and spreaders

Article preview

The article is devoted to the issues of improving the efficiency of open-cast mining of solid minerals. Surface miners are effective and promising mining equipment that brought a large number of innovative technological solutions to the mining industry. The flow sheet of mining an overburden bench of high altitude with boom surface miners and the improved spreader is presented. Application of technical and technological improvements will significantly increase the productivity of mining equipment, reduce the cost of doing stripping operations and improve the profitability of the mining industry in the development of deposits of solid minerals, semi-indurated rocks.

Study on disintegration of very clayey sands in precious metal deposits

Article preview

The article covers findings of the research on very clayey sands of the gold placer in the stream Mad, Primorsky Krai. The sands of the gold placer studied proved to be rather compli-cated for disintegration and subsequent enrichment owing to high content of dispersed factions, iron oxides, and the clay mineral montmorillonite and have low dynamics of reducing elastic properties under water saturation. To solve the problem of disintegration of very clayey sands with low dynamics of deformation properties under water saturation the authors justified the need for further research into processes based on conversion of the kinetic energy of the fluid flow in the energy of acoustic oscillations with a sequential combination of additional hydrodynamic effects including jet division.
