In the production process of open-pit mines, trucks are applied in mines for transporting ores and rocks. Most equipped with dozens trucks. It is important to plan dispatch so that transportation can be shortest distance, lowest cost, most efficient. At present, many mining enterprises have realized use dispatching systems schedule complete tasks. However, these methods mostly designed deploy r...

In multi-element deposits, different blocks are blended together to create a product with a predetermined quality. Generally, blending aims to obtain a special quality and quantity based on determining the processing plant or customer needs. However, blending causes different products based on the deposit properties. Thus, a block is blended with others to create one of many possible products. ...

Iron ore granulation is an indispensable process in the production of sinter that can influence and regulate yield, efficiency quality. Although a great deal research has been done on over past decades, we still need to think about current future development this process, as essential raw material for ironmaking blast furnace today. This paper begins with review particle agglomeration theory si...

In this study, the integrated iron and steel plant mill scales prepared to concentrate in different ratios by blending with hematite character ore. CMC was used as binder coke will be reductant. The calcite added such a way that basicity ratio is 0.7. pelletizing machine pellet blends containing at then drying temperature of 150 °C. 28 kg / compressive strength obtained pellets from 100% scales...

Determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. Production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. One of the important operational con...

The open pit mine production scheduling (OPMPS) problem seeks to determine when, if ever, to extract each notional, three-dimensional block of ore and/or waste in a deposit and what to do with each, e.g., send it to a particular processing plant or to the waste dump. This scheduling model maximizes net present value subject to spatial precedence constraints, and resource capacities. Certain min...

Mineral particle size is an important parameter in the mineral beneficiation process. In industrial processes, grinding process produces pulp with qualified for subsequent flotation processes. this paper, a hierarchical intelligent control method based on machine learning proposed. layer, artificial intelligence technologies such as long and short memory neural networks (LSTM) convolution (CNN)...

Although reclaimed water for potable applications has many potential benefits, it poses concerns for chemical and microbial risks to consumers. We present a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) Monte Carlo framework to compare a de facto water reuse scenario (treated wastewater-impacted surface water) with four hypothetical Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) scenarios for Norovirus, Cryptospor...
