An Uncertainty-based Transition from Open Pit to Underground Mining
There are some large scale orebodies that extend from surface to the extreme depths of the ground. Such orebodies should be extracted by a combination of surface and underground mining methods. Economically, it is highly important to know the limit of upper and lower mining activities. This concern leads the mine designers to the transition problem, which is one of the most complicated problems...
متن کاملMillion-year standard set for nuclear waste facility.
One million years. That’s the required design life of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in the Nevada desert, according to Environmental Protection Agency safety standards released in August. In a statement, EPA assistant administrator for air and radiation Jeffrey Holmstead, Ph.D., said that the radiation standards met “ an unprecedented scientifi c challenge ” to protect th...
متن کاملZeolite Fluidized-Bed In Situ Treatment of Underground Waste
The technology follows a sequence of steps: 1) place a confinement template proximal to the disposal structure; 2) drive a primary confinement €I-beam and sheet piling proximal to and below the underground structure and contaminant plume; 3) inject a primary low-cost inorganic polymer below the contaminated geologic media; 4) injectMood the contaminant plume; 5) inject cements and sequestering ...
متن کاملOptimizing the open pit-to-underground mining transition
A large number of metal deposits are initially extracted via surface methods, but then transition underground without necessarily ceasing to operate above ground. Currently, most mine operators schedule the open pit and underground operations independently and then merge the two, creating a myopic solution. We present a methodology to maximize the NPV for an entire metal deposit by determining ...
