The work and life conditions have influence on the health and life quality of workers. Physically active persons can demonstrate a life style that are and affect the physical performance, psychosocial aspects and work capacity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical activity level and work capacity in different tasks characteristics, one with more physical exertion and other ...

The article deals with the potential financial risks for Russia, devoted to crossborder carbon regulation in EU and its impact on metallurgical industry. Due imposed economic sanctions refusal of a number Western countries cooperate Russia companies involved sector are forced transfer their export flows from European markets Asian China predominating. authors conclude that short-term perspectiv...

Abstract. The analysis of the modernity production machines is an important issue due to two aspects. First all, will have a direct impact on efficiency using both machine and entire process (the line), as well productivity this process. On other hand, meaning refer qualitative results processes that are carried out by analyzed device. level starting point in effectiveness their use planned org...

Proper estimation of the metallurgical recovery is very important for the assessment of the economical value of a mining business. As this quantity is nonadditive, it is not possible to model its spatial variability or to perform its estimation directly. In the present work, we first recall that additivity can concern the intrinsic nature of point-support quantities, and not only the usual supp...

B. Gajdzik, The Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland Before metallurgical enterprises started implementation of marketing activities they had to go through restructuring processes which included all areas of their market activities. Privatised metallurgical enterprises after economic transformation gradually implemented marketing to th...

The purpose of this project is to carry out an analysis and determine the profile of actual lean manufacturing processes in the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga. Through the analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables it was possible to establish how these manufacturers develop production practices that ensure their competitiveness and productivity in the market. In this study, a random ...

Background Greater use of gas would make metal production more environmentally friendly while improving the competitiveness of Norwegian metal producers. By “gas” we refer here to natural gas, biogas, hydrogen and flue-gases from the metal production industry’s own and other industries’ production processes. Gas can replace coal and coke or provide a basis for the development of new processes t...

Technological procedure of extracting metals is being constantly modernised so that polluting of the basic life resources is reduced. Emissions of waste gases and particulate matter are still present in larger mining-metallurgical complexes. Mining-metallurgical complex Bor (RTB) exploits sulphide copper ores, thus emitting acid sulphur gases and suspended particles with high content of Cu, Zn,...

The estimation of metallurgical parameters of flotation process from froth visual features is the ultimate goal of a machine vision based control system. In this study, a batch flotation system was operated under different process conditions and metallurgical parameters and froth image data were determined simultaneously. Algorithms have been developed for measuring textural and physical froth ...
