Ore Handling at Furnaces

Metallurgical Furnaces

Fuels and Furnaces

The subject matter of this paper, if treated in the general sense, covers an extremely wide field to which it is impossible to do justice in the time allocated. It is even difficult to cover the subject adequately if we confine ourselves only to the furnace design of bagasse fired sugar mill boilers. I therefore intend to give a short summary of past and present bagasse furnace designs and cove...

The Application of Artificial Neural Networks to Ore Reserve Estimation at Choghart Iron Ore Deposit

Geo-statistical methods for reserve estimation are difficult to use when stationary conditions are not satisfied. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) provide an alternative to geo-statistical techniques while considerably reducing the processing time required for development and application. In this paper the ANNs was applied to the Choghart iron ore deposit in Yazd province of Iran. Initially, a...

Double Ore Extensions versus Iterated Ore Extensions

Motivated by the construction of new examples of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension four, J.J.Zhang and J.Zhang (2008) introduced an algebra extension AP [y1, y2;σ, δ, τ ] of A, which they called a double Ore extension. This construction seems to be similar to that of a two-step iterated Ore extension over A. The aim of this paper is to describe those double Ore extensions whic...

3D Stockpile Modelling to Improve the Quality Control in Iron Ore Handling

This paper describes a 3D stockpile modelling algorithm to improve quality control and increase operational efficiency in iron ore handling. The 3D model, generated from real measuring data, approximates a stockpile using a group of 3D volumetric element, which able to store information inside it, such as quality compositions of the ore. By associating this model with the cutting geometry of a ...
