abstract

all steps of a mining project generally disturb the environment'soriginal condition during construction. therefore, it is crucial toimplement an appropriate mine reclamation plan throughout all mineplanning stages from sustainable and environmental point of view.planting the suitable plant species in each step of any reclamationplan and each area is one of the necessities in this respect.selecting of plant species is carried out on the basis of theprimary factors. after that priorities between the selected speciesare defined on account of the secondary factors by a mcdm model. inthis regard, a fuzzy ahp approach was used. this method was appliedto sungun open pit copper mine in iran as a case study. decisionmaking was conducted on the basis of oral judgments and groupexpertise in the case study. the results achieved from the analysesshowed that the priorities of alternatives are as maple, ash, oak,barberry, paliurus spina -christi, sloe, respectively.

Analysis of reliability and maintainability for multiple repairable units (Case study: Sungun copper mine)

The appropriate operating of mining machines is affected by both the executive and environmental factors. Considering the effects and the related risks lead to a better understanding of the failures of such machines. This leads to a proper prediction of the reliability parameters of such machines. In this research work, the reliability and maintainability analysis of the loading and haulage mac...

Maintainability measure based on operating environment, a case study: Sungun copper mine

The life cycle cost of a system is influenced by its maintainability. Maintainability is a design parameter, whose operational conditions can affect it significantly. Hence, the effects of these operational conditions should be quantified early in the design phase. The proportional repair model (PRM), which is developed based on the proportional hazard model (PHM), can be used to analyze mainta...

Toxic metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced Carbon allotropes: a case study from the Sungun Copper Mine

The sorption efficiencies of graphene oxide (GO) and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) were investigated and elucidated to study their potential in treating acid mine drainage (AMD) containing Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Fe3+ and Cd2+ metal ions. Several layered GO nanosheets and f-MWCNTs were formed via the modified Hummers’ method and the acid treatment of the MWCNTs, respec...

Case History of a Copper Mine Tailings Pond Reclamation in Ducktown, Tennessee

Cessation of mining operations in Ducktown, TN, left 800-900 acres of barren copper mine tailings. Revegetation activities had met with limited success. In 1998, efforts for revegetation of the tailings materials began anew. The objective of this case history is to provide insight into decision making processes which resulted in conversion of 800-900 acres of barren mine tailings into a vegetat...
