The plant species Pinus halepensis grows spontaneously on heavily polluted mine tailings dumps of Campo Pisano (Sardinia, southwestern Italy). area is characterized mainly by Zn, Pb, and Cd. Sampling campaign was done, related to soils materials (roots, barks, wood, needles), aimed at evaluating the main mineralogical characteristics, metal content, accumulation, translocation behavior. substra...

The studies on the use of municipal wastewater sludge as an unconventional chemical ameliorant with a fertilizing effect were carried out ore dressing waste ("tailings") apatite-nepheline plant ANOF-2 KF JSC "Apatit" predominance nepheline sands in their composition. tailings dump is included list objects accumulated environmental damage region, but due to its rich mineral composition, it recog...

J. Korol, Central Mining Institute, Department of Material Engineering, Poland D. Burchart-Korol, A. Smoliński, Central Mining Institute, Department of Energy Saving and Air Protection, Poland In this study composition of sinter mixtures used in Polish sinter plants were established. Seven sinter mixtures composition were examined, based on iron-bearing materials, admixtures and fuels.

The global mining industry generates several billion tons of waste every year. Much it is stored in liquid form, known as tailings, large impoundments. Recent dam failures at tailing ponds with catastrophic outcomes have raised public concern, such that initiatives and investors are beginning to address the problem. So far, a lack publicly available data makes an independent comprehensive risk ...

Open Relation Extraction (ORE) overcomes the limitations of traditional IE techniques, which train individual extractors for every single relation type. Systems such as ReVerb, PATTY, OLLIE, and Exemplar have attracted much attention on English ORE. However, few studies have been reported on ORE for languages beyond English. This paper presents a syntax-based Chinese (Zh) ORE system, ZORE, for ...

Iron ore pellets are made from refined and ground ore that is balled into spheroids and then heat treated. Pellet properties are measured through standardized physical, chemical and metallurgical tests to guarantee a high quality end product. However to better understand the oxidation and sintering of iron ore pellets one has to study the microstructures. This paper provides a proof of concept ...

The recovery of gold by ore leaching is influenced by the size of the particles and the chemical environment. The effect of particle size on the dissolution of gold is usually studied using mono-size particles as the gold in solution comes from the ore of a unique leached particle size. This paper proposes a method to estimate the gold dissolution as a function of particle size using a bulk ore...

−− Copper recoveries using two methodologies of acid leaching of a low-grade ore are reported in this work. The ore, abounding in oxidized species, was from Barda González reservoir in Neuquén province, Argentina. In the first methodology, cells of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans were inoculated into a column containing the ore and sulfur as energy source. In the second one, a bioreactor with imm...

Ore grade estimation is a key aspect in the evaluation of a mineral deposit. In this paper an alternative approach to currently applied methods of ore grade estimation is presented. This alternative approach involves a modular neural network system integrated in a state of the art 3D resource modelling package. The need for a new method of ore grade estimation comes from the difficulties in app...

Ore grade is one of the main variables that characterise an orebody. Almost every mining project begins with the determination of ore grade distribution in three-dimensional space, a problem often reduced to modelling the spatial variability of ore grade values. So far, this has been achieved following the geostatistical approach, and more precisely, it’s main process of structural analysis. St...
