Power consumption of hydraulic transport of products of mineral processing

Article preview

The problem of decreasing power consumption by hydraulic transport systems remains to be the most important among other problems in the mining industry. The increase of solid material concentration in the volume of transported pulp leads to reduction of general pulp flow rate on the one hand and to increase of pressure losses and, accordingly, of a necessary head for over-coming hydraulic resistance on the other hand. The problem of minimizing power consumption in slurry transport is of particular relevance now when there is a tendency for hydraulic transport of highly-concentrated pulps and pastes to be widely used in the mining industry.  The article shows that the energy intensity to a certain extent depends on the performance of hydraulic transport of solid materials, and this dependence is of extreme nature. At low concentra-tions of solid particles large volumes of recycled water have to be pumped to provide the neces-sary performance, which leads to consumption of large amounts of electricity. The increase оf concentration results in the decrease in the volumetric flow rate of the pulp and, accordingly, spe-cific power consumption of the process. The process of reducing energy consumption takes place up to a certain critical value of the concentration above which a further increase in the concentra-tion raises power consumption.

Extraction of iron (III) ions from aqueous solutions with tributyl phosphate

Article preview

High rates of iron (III) ion extraction from aqueous solutions with tributyl phosphate by sequential injection of the extractant and minimal contact time of the solution and the extractant were obtained. The sequential injection of the extractant increases iron extraction and reduces the amount of the extractant used. The best extraction results were obtained from the solutions with concentration 3N HCl, 240 g/dm 3 NaCl and temperature t = 60 С. The flow sheet of the selective iron ions extraction from the aqueous solutions is presented.

Electric network equivalenting in the presence of high harmonics

Article preview

The article deals with equivalenting of complex electrical networks of industrial enterprises. In the article the different methods of averaging equivalenting elements in power systems are compared, specifically, the method of moments, the equivalent section method, and the average value method. The current value of the capacitor bank as part of the electrotechnical complex of the enterprise is the main criterion for determining the equivalenting error of the electric network. The equivalenting in the presence of high harmonics in electrical networks of the enterprise is considered by applying the methods under discussion. Comparison of these equivalenting methods in the presence of high harmonics shows that the error in the calculation of capacitor bank current ranges from 3,8 to 14,7 %. In addition, the most accurate method for determining the capacitor bank overload is the method of moments.

Justification of kinematic and power parameters of rack and pinion gear for heavyloaded mining machines

Article preview

The article contains the research findings on the justification of kinematic and power parameters of a rack and pinion system for heavy-loaded mining machines. The article points out that for a designer to find more reasonable constructive solutions it is advisable to carry out wear assessment of the designed gear at a design stage. Application of additional quality parameters of gearing is proposed, i.e. coefficients of acceleration and sliding velocity and the scoring resistance coefficient. Introduction of these parameters will allow choosing geometrical parameters of the designed gearing, which will possess the best kinematic and power character-istics and will be least inclined to wear.

The possibility to predict the oil and gas price crisis in the world market on the basis of the correlation analysis

Article preview

The article is devoted to the search for the formal signs of the onset of crisis phenomena in the global economy related to the financial and oil and gas markets. To predict the crisis in the financial market and, as a consequence, the fuel market, the theory of «Jokers and Channels» is used in this paper. In accordance with the theory, the market is divided into predictable and unpredictable periods. Methods of the correlation analysis are used to analyze time series of exchange rates and oil and gas prices. In this paper, the authors construct the time dependence of the annual Pearson correlation coefficients between the ranks of quotes of the world leading currencies over the period from 1999 to 2013. A strong correlation between oil prices and the dollar exchange rate leads to the suggestion of identifying the crisis phenomena in the oil market, and due to the strong link between oil and gas prices, in the liquefied gas market. According to the results of the correlation analysis, the «Joker» period is determined and the conventional period of crisis enters it with some delay. Thus, based on the research the authors can conclude that, in fact, the global crisis starts earlier than the generally accepted term and is determined by the Joker period.

Subsoil use within the context of the modern economic theory development

Article preview

Essence of the economic system of subsoil use is examined: its maintenance, elements; fea-tures in the conditions of the mixed economy. The special accent is done on the evolution of eco-nomic theory and role of the state as a basic regulator of activity of all managing subjects working in the field of raw mineral-material complex and its infrastructure. An author shows the role of modern economic theory as a science in development and substantiation of principles of function-ing of the territorial-economic system of subsoil use, both from general theoretical and practical point of view.
