The authors study the ground surface displacement in the area of Zhezkazgan copper ore field now subjected to extraction of ore reserves from rib pillars. The high-precision leveling procedure using digital leveling instrumentation and invar leveling staffs is proposed for the application in arrangement of a geodynamic test site at the settlements of Zhezkazgan and Lermontovo. The steel control survey points are firmly connected with rock mass by means of grouting. The observation results made it possible to detect and evaluate the ground surface displacements.

STIMULATION OF CAPILLARY IMBIBITION IN OIL RESERVOIR TREATMENT

The author proposes a problem formulation for the capillary rise process when one of the capillary ends is connected to the atmosphere and the other end is put in a liquid-filled tank with walls subjected to vibrations. The calculations show that pressure surges essentially reduce the time of capillary imbibition. Given no vibration in the liquid flow from the tank to the capillary, the water rise height found from the numerical solution of the formulated problem coincides with the calculation from the Lucas–Washburn equation and agrees with the test data. The generalization algorithm for the problem to be applicable to capillary imbibition in porous media saturated with immiscible liquids is presented.

The blasting experience in Zapolyarny Mine is described, and the actual oversized/undersized fragmentation of blasting from haulage drift is presented. The drilling-and-blasting pattern parameters provide insufficient fragmentation quality, which elevates the blasting cost and reduces its efficiency. It is shown that the actual oversized/undersized fragmentation agrees with the Kuz–Ram fragmentation model. This allows adjusting the calculation parameters of uniformity index for the prediction and optimization of grain-size composition in broken muck. Possible causes of oversized/undersized fragmentation are discussed.

Excavations in shallow depth and the presence of weak overlying rock may disturb the strata conditions due to which caving start and creates a cavity in the subsurface and finally sinkhole. In central India, the sinkhole phenomenon is common in some of the coal mines and its urgent need to understand the influence of critical parameters that directly or indirectly aggravates the sinkholes. Seeing the potential damages against its occurrence, the field investigation were planned and implemented in some of the coal mines at Central India. Based on the field investigations, the detailed parametric analysis was done with respect to sinkhole depth against each critical parameter. A sinkhole model has been developed by using statistical approach to understand the collective influence of all critical parameters.

In order to ensure the safety of the autopilot system, this article analyzes the causes of motion blur from the perspective of camera imaging principles and uses the relationship between the coordinate systems to determine the position of a certain point in the three-dimensional space in the pixel coordinate system. Finally, the degree of motion blur is determined by calculating the displacement of the pixel points per unit time and assigning weights to them using a Gaussian function. The results show that the degree of motion blur increases from the center of the image to the sides, and it is positively correlated with the motion speed in general. This is used to determine the critical speed of safe driving, providing a way to improve the safety of the open-pit mining autopilot system further.

The study focuses on stability of particle–bubble attachment versus the size of particles attached to bubbles, design of a flotation cell and the input energy. The main force to tear away a particle from a bubble is assumed to be the inertia force conditioned by undulation of the gas–liquid interface. It is examined how the bubble surface oscillations influence detachment of particles. The oscillation amplitude is a function of the energy dissipation rate. The energy dissipation rate is determined using the methods of computational hydrodynamics in Ansys Fluent. The calculated sizes of particles produced in frother flotation with regard to coalescence in the froth bed agree with the existing and new experimental data.

The thermodynamic analysis and tests of minerogenesis under higher temperatures determine conditions of thermochemical decomposition of hydrophilic attachments on diamond surface. It is found that hydrophilic mineral attachments can be removed from diamond surface by combining thermal treatment of slurry at the temperature of 80–85 °C with electrochemical treatment of recirculated water, which enables required change in ion–molecule composition of water phase in the slurry. The hybrid conditioning technology ensures recovery of the natural hydrophobic behavior and floatability of diamonds and enhances performance of froth flotation of diamonds by 5.1%.

Occurrence and mineralogy of economically important rare-metal mineralization from pegmatite of Wadi El Sheih granite, Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, was previously discussed. The mineralogical investigation of the bulk composite sample collected from the studied pegmatite revealed the presence of 7.59% by mass heavy economic polymetallic minerals such as euxenite-(Y), fergusonite-(Y), allanite-(Ce), xenotime-(Y), uranothorite and zircon. This work investigated the use of high intensity magnetic separator in conjunction with gravity pre-concentration steps via shaking table concentrator to recover rare-metals and rare earth bearing mineralization of Wadi El Sheih pegmatitic granitoid sample. The results of magnetic separation are related to the magnetic susceptibility measurements of pure single crystal minerals using vibrating sample magnetometer instruments.

REGIME DESIGN FOR GOLD ORE FLOTATION BY AIR AND STEAM MIXTURE

The flowchart is developed for gold ore flotation at the reduced impurity of the rougher flotation product with difficult middlings. The rougher flotation concentrate is subjected to scavenging by aerated air and hot steam mixture. In cold pulp slurry, the steam condensation heat is removed from bubbles to wetting films. With increasing temperature, the hydrophilic repulsive forces, that stabilize the films, can be reduced to excess osmotic pressure between the hydrophilic surfaces, and the instability of the films between the hydrophobic surfaces can be reduced to excess osmotic pressure of surrounding water, i.e. to the hydrophobic attraction forces. The test machine is designed to measure heat-transfer coefficients during aeration of water by air–steam mixture. The revealed heat loss patterns enable determining the efficient steam flow to ensure water heating in the interfacial layers of bubbles at the minimized loss of the heat source. Using an ore sample, it is demonstrated that it is possible to enhance gold recovery using the designed circuit of rougher flotation and the method of rougher concentrate scavenging.

The authors propose a mathematical model of salt particulate dynamics in a roadway, including convection and diffusion of particles with air flow, coagulation of particles, condensation of water on them, and gravity deposition of particles on the roadway floor. Using the finite difference method, the problem on flow of salt particulates in a roadway is solved, and the particulate concentrations and the average size of particles are determined. The calculations are compared with the analytical model and full-scale test data. The found correlation between the particulate deposition velocity and the aerosol parameters can be used for the parametrization of mathematical models of air–dust mixture flow in ventilation networks of potash mines.

The ground control using optical fibers is discussed. The designed monomode fiber pressure sensor is capable to perform high-precision measurement of overlying rock mass pressure imposed on walls of underground excavation. The mathematical apparatus is presented for the calculation of radiation intensity of optical wave traveling along an optical fiber with and with no mechanical effects. The simulation model is developed for an underground excavation with steel arch support. The model is equipped with the fiber-optic monitoring system and pressure sensors. This model enables practicing the ground control methods and measurements. The critical element of the simulation model is its hardware/software complex with interface showing four check zones with fiber-optic pressure sensors. This monitoring system is explosion-proof and is suitable for operation in super hazardous mines in terms of gas and dust outbursts.
