the recovery process of selenium from iranian sar-cheshmeh copper anode slimes employing hydrometallurgical methods has been investigated. the copper anode slimes are made up of those components of  the anodes, which are not soluble in the electrolyte. they contain varying quantities of precious metals like gold, silver, selenium and tellurium. they are being extracted as a by product in the co...

a linear superposition method was used for modeling the time history of the production blast vibrations and optimizing the blast sequence to reduce vibration levels in sar-cheshmeh copper mine, kerman, iran. a single-hole blast for modeling and two double-hole blasts with time delays of 25 and 65 ms between two holes for modeling validation were carried out. the generated vibrations were measur...

Copper-mine tailings are the residual products after the extraction of precious copper metal from copper ores, and their storage can create numerous environmental problems. Many researchers have used copper-mine tailings for the preparation of geopolymers. This paper studies the enhancement of the cementitious activity of copper-mine tailings in geopolymer systems. First, copper-mine tailings a...

sarcheshmeh copper mine, with the final reserves of 828 million tons of sulfur ore and average grade of 0.74%, is known to be the largest open pit of iran and most probably the second largest copper mine in the world. this mine is located in the seismotectonic zone of central-iran, and 23 km away from the 150 km long rafsanjan active fault.in this study the vulnerability of the west wall of the...

sar-kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the sar-cheshmeh copper mine, kerman province, iran. based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the sar-kuh area. early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...

Sar-Kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the Sar-Cheshmeh copper mine, Kerman Province, Iran. Based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the Sar-Kuh area. Early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of Mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...

Since 1971, Island Copper Mine has been operating an open-pit mine, mainly for copper on the north shore of Rupert Inlet. Rupert Inlet is the most easterly inlet of Quatsino Sound on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Fig. i). The ore body was estimated to contain 250 million tons of reserves. Mining is proposed to be continued until 1996, at which time the reserves will have been dep...
