Flooding of the Königstein Underground Mine Hydraulic and Geochemical Modelling Approach Zatápění Hlubinného Dolu Königstein Hydraulické a Geochemické Modelování

چکیده

Uranium was produced in the Königstein mine by conventional mining as well as underground in-situ leaching activity from a sandstone aquifer between 1964 and 1990. Due to the chemical mining and the secondary effect of pyrite oxidation the pore water of the rock matrix has a pH of less than 2 and a high content of among others uranium, iron and sulphate. Another source of contaminants are soluble minerals which precipitated in open mine workings. They will dissolve during the flooding and generate a contaminant peak right after the beginning of the flooding of open mine spaces. The remediation of the mine should aim for the restoration of the natural groundwater flow in the regional flow system.

Creating Model for Technological Process of Inertisation Modelování Technologického Procesu Inertizace

Underground coal mine environment is an environment with dynamic manifestations of methane. In this environment it is quite difficult to control various technological processes occurring therein. The technological process of collapse preventing inertisation is carried out by supply of compressed nitrogen to areas at risk of spontaneous combustion of coal. Petri nets allow the modelling of paral...

Choosing the Optimum Underground Mine Layout with Regard to Metal Price Uncertainty Using Expected Utility Theory

Metal price is one of the most important parameters in the calculation of cut- off grade. The cut- off grade has the main role in determination of mine layout. Mine layout actuates mineable reserve, mine life and economic profitability. Not considering the uncertainty in metal prices can lead to a non-optimal layout. In this paper optimum underground mine layout is determined by expected utilit...

Fundamentals of 3D modelling and resource estimation in coal mining

The prerequisite of maintaining an efficient and safe mining operation is the proper design of a mine by considering all aspects. The first step in a coal mine design is a realistic geometrical modelling of the coal seam(s). The structural features such as faults and folding must be reliably implemented in 3D seam models. Upon having a consistent seam model, the attributes such as calorific val...

Computational Methods for Acid Mine Drainage Management: Simulation of Hydrogeochemical Processes in Abandoned Underground Mines1

Predicting post-mining water quality is a key task in managing mine drainage. The most scientifically-defensible approach would be to undertake thermodynamics-based modeling of coupled geochemical and hydrodynamic processes occurring in flooded and partly flooded underground workings. Most models currently in use make the fatal assumption of local equilibrium, or else do not include all importa...

Application of artificial neural network and genetic algorithm to modelling the groundwater inflow to an advancing open pit mine

In this study, a hybrid intelligent model has been designed to predict groundwater inflow to a mine pit during its advance. Novel hybrid method coupling artificial neural network (ANN) with genetic algorithm (GA) called ANN-GA, was utilised. Ratios of pit depth to aquifer thickness, pit bottom radius to its top radius, inverse of pit advance time and the hydraulic head (HH) in the observation w...
