Geochemical Controls on Waste-rock Dump Seepage Chemistry at Several Porphyry Mines in the Canadian Cordilleran
In 2003, Red Chris Development Company started collecting baseline data to support its application for environmental approvals to mine the Red Chris porphyry copper-gold deposit located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. An extensive geochemical testing program revealed that the majority of the waste rock has the potential to generate acid. However, the presence of significant quantities...
متن کاملRock dusting considerations in underground coal mines
Rock dusting to prevent coal dust explosions has been in widespread use in U.S. underground coal mines since the early 1900s. Underground coal mining technology has changed significantly over this same time period, becoming highly mechanized and produces finer coal dust particles which are more explosive. Despite the advances in mining technology, mine-wide dust sampling practices have remained...
متن کاملEstimating oxygen decay coefficient for acid generating waste rock 1
Measuring or predicting the distribution of oxygen concentration in waste rock underneath a soil cover is an important aspect of cover performance evaluation. The oxygen decay coefficient is a key parameter in the prediction. In the present study, a method calculating oxygen decay coefficient from oxygen consumption rate is developed. The decrease in oxygen concentration over time measured abov...
متن کاملPillar Design in the Hard Rock Mines of South Africa
This paper gives an overview of the difficulties associated with the design of hard rock pillars in South African mines. Recent examples of large scale pillar collapses in South Africa suggest that these were caused by weak partings which traversed the pillars. Currently two different methods are used to determine the strength of pillars, namely, empirical equations derived from back analyses o...
متن کاملForecasting Rock Burst in Coal Mines Based on Neural Network
In view of disasters caused by rock burst becoming more and more serious in coal mine production, three models are established for evaluation and prediction the rock burst risk based on artificial neural network. First, ten indicators are determined which have a larger influence on rock burst. Then two back propagation network models are trained using the original data and the processed data re...
