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.

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...

Order-preserving encryption (OPE) and order-revealing encryption (ORE) are among the core ingredients for encrypted database (EDB) systems as secure cloud storage. In this work, we study the leakage of OPE and ORE and their forward security. We propose generic yet powerful file-injection attacks (FIAs) on OPE/ORE, aimed at the situations of possessing order by and range queries. The FIA schemes...
