A Review of Primary Mine Ventilation System Optimization

INVENTS: A Hybrid Mine Ventilation Planning and Design System

A Two-Phase Simulation-Based Optimization of Hauling System in Open-Pit Mine

One of the key issues in mining is the hauling system. Truck and shovels are the most widely used transportation equipment in mines. In this paper, a two-phase simulation-based optimization is presented to maximize utilization of hauling system in the largest Iranian open-pit copper mine. In the first phase, The OptQuest for Arena software package was used to solve the optimization problem to p...

A Brief History of Mine Ventilation

Observations of the movements of air in underground passages have a long and fascinating history. Between 4000 and 1200 BC, European miners dug tunnels into chalk deposits searching for flint. Archaeological investigations at Grimes Graves in the south of England have shown that these early flint miners built brushwood fires at the working faces—presumably to weaken the rock. However, those Neo...

Application of VENTSIM 3D and mathematical programming to optimize underground mine ventilation network: A case study

Ventilation is a vital component of an underground mining operation, used to guarantee a safe atmosphere for workers and survive them from the hazardous and toxic gases. In the recent years, engineers have begun to apply new operation research techniques in order to optimize the ventilation systems to assist in achieving a regulatory compliance, reduce ventilation costs, and improve its efficie...
