چکیده
Underground bauxite mining exploitation is a challenging environment for ventilation. In this paper, such complex underground ventilation network modeled in detail using the Ventsim software. The and its characteristics are selected developed through software, followed by their calibration validation against actual measurements of both airflow quantity quality which have been carried out at mine site. This model constitutes base new design future expansion. recommendations optimization proposed finally presented detail.

Integrated optimization of underground mine design and scheduling
It is well recognized that software tools for strategic underground mine planning are lacking, and that the demand for these tools will increase as deeper deposits amenable to underground mining continue to grow in value. While a number of optimization techniques have been developed for stope layout design and progress continues to be made in the area of production scheduling, both of these min...
متن کاملAn Information System for a Bauxite Mine
Bauxite is mined and transported by conveyor to a processing plant, screened and washed, then placed into blended stockpiles to feed the alumina refinery. While being stacked to the stockpile, the ore is sampled. Completed stockpiles must be acceptably close to target grade (composition), not only in alumina, but also in residual silica, carbon and sodium carbonate. The mine is an open-cut pit....
متن کاملAccess Optimisation Tools in Underground Mine Design
Optimisation tools which determine the best layout for access and haulage in an underground mine address an important and difficult mine design problem. The complexity of the problem can be compared to the task of optimising the final pit design in an open pit, together with the pit haul roads required. The strategic design of an underground mine layout must address the location of haulage shaf...
متن کاملApplication 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...
متن کاملSimulating Development in an Underground Hardrock Mine
System simulation is an increasingly popular technique for analyzing and improving existing as well as newly designed underground mining operations. An engineering firm that specializes in simulation helped a major metals producer build a long-range planning model of an existing underground mine. Subsequently the team adapted this model to assess technology alternatives in the design of a new m...
