1 Citations Part of the Springer Series in Geomechanics and Geoengineering book series (SSGG) Abstract The surface mine planning and optimisation techniques such as block modelling, pit optimisation, scheduling, stockpiling and reconciliation that are and have been applied at an existing iron ore open pit operation are discussed in this report.
It is important that the strategic mine plan makes optimum use of available resources and provides continuous quality ore to drive sustainable mining and profitability. This requires the development of a wellintegrated strategy of mining options for surface and/or underground mining and their interactions. Understanding the current tools and methodologies used in the mining industry for ...
The scheduling of openpit mine production is a largescale, mixedinteger linear programming problem that is computationally expensive. The purpose of this study is to create a computationally efficient algorithm for solving openpit production scheduling problems with uncertain geological parameters. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed research, a case study of an Indian iron ...
Published 28 Feb 2019 Abstract This paper studies the production and distribution planning problem faced by the iron ore mining companies, which aims to minimize the total costs for the whole production and distribution system of the iron ore concentrate.
Hence, the implementation of the Six Sigma methodology for the optimization of ore transportation for an underground mining company is important because it reduces and eliminates defects in the production cycle [10, 13]. The entire purpose of optimizing fleet management is to encourage production and reduce operating
iron ore is expected to rise by more than 200 million tonne per year to meet the internal demand export. This additional requirement of iron ore will need beneficiation of low grade ore/fines to get the major portion of increased demand. This paper deals in brief to use of available methodologies for beneficiation of iron ore in Indian context.
1. Introduction. After the last commodities supercycle of iron ore, mining companies started to have as their main objective the fulfillment of ore quality goals and reduction of the variability of certain control parameters (such as the grade of iron, silica, manganese, and particle size range) without detriment to the production volume.
The depletion of highgrade ore minerals and the scarcity of fossil fuel reserves are challenging factors for metallurgical industries in the future. Also, extensive mining for increased steel demand results in the generation of fines often found unsuitable for use as direct feedstock for the production of metals and alloys. Apart from mines waste, the other major sources of fine minerals are ...
This type of situation is common in iron ore mining, for example. We organize our paper as follows. After a thorough description of the maintenance planning problem and network structure in Sect. 2, we formulate a bicriteria mixedinteger linear programming model to represent shutdown maintenance planning scenarios in Sect. 3. In our model, we ...
Southeast Asia's downstreamprocessing industry has recently seen rapid growth and expansion. Much of this industry is concentrated in Indonesia, with a smaller but significant presence in other Southeast Asian countries. Our research shows that since 2021, commodity prices for base metals such as nickel and copper have increased by 80 to 120 ...
For the deposit investigated, it was found that the mine is likely to generate final product of MT of Lump Ore (+ 10 mm − 150 mm) and Fines Ore MT (− 10 mm) during the life of the mine. The NPV is found to be highly sensitive to the price of Fine ore as quantity of fines in total ore body is around 70%.
Mechanized mining mineral dressing operations of iron ore generate huge amount of fines. These fines generations are about 5060% of the total production of individual.
The company has the two largest iron ore mining and processing operations in the country, which are located at Lebedinsky and Mikhailovsky in the Kursk Region (see Fig. ). The Lebedinsky mine is shown in Fig. Download : Download fullsize image; Fig. Location of Metalloinvest's iron ore operations in Russia.
A mining operation of an iron ore mine is shown in Figure 1, with visible mining equipment and facility. Fig. 1. A mining operation of an iron ore mine, including drilling, explosion, loading and hauling A mineral processing operation normally has a combination of different processes. The main processes include crushing, grinding screening ...
The steel industry represents about 7% of the world's anthropogenic CO2 emissions due to the high use of fossil fuels. The CO2lean direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen is considered to offer a high potential to reduce CO2 emissions, and this direct reduction of Fe2O3 powder is investigated in this research. The H2 reduction reaction kinetics and fluidization characteristics of fine ...
Tailoring the blast designs according to ore type and process optimization increased the throughput of all process lines. This provided the potential to shut down one of the five processing line, aligning the mine and plant capacity and significantly reducing the processing costs. Keywords: MinetoMill; Integrated strategies; Iron ore.
Also, as more than 70% of the total rail load is constituted of iron ore and its derivatives, making any improvement in the iron ore rail transport process will have a significant effect on the overall railroad performance, and an effective step would be taken toward reaching the goals of the 2025 perspective for increasing the rail share from % to 30% in the case of redirecting this volume ...
mining operation is maximized and the Life of the Mine is increased. Objectives of the Study The main aim of the study is pit optimization for improved NPV and life of mine in heterogeneous iron ore deposit. The aim was achieved by the following specific objectives: 1. Analysis of the pit economics by generating nested pit
Ore blending is an essential part of daily work in the concentrator. Qualified ore dressing products can make the ore dressing more smoothly. The existing ore blending modeling usually only considers the quality of ore blending products and ignores the effect of ore blending on ore dressing. This research proposes an ore blending modeling method based on the quality of the beneficiation ...
The mining cost solution implemented in the synthetic ore body model accounts for the depth of. the mining and density of the extracted material. The processing cost per tonne is considered to be ...
Performance Improvement in Mining. Sometimes it's difficult for organizations to see the big picture for the future or view the improvements and progress of teams. Rising costs threatened profits and strategic flexibility for a large producer of ironore pellets in North America. In response, the organization had begun an aggressive cost ...
Hydrogen reduction of iron oxide is an endothermic reaction that requires external heat input into the system such as preheating the iron ore. When magnetite iron ore is used, it becomes oxidized in a preheat process. Based on our previous study, the raw magnetite iron ore could not be completely fluidized at the temperature range of 600800 °C.

(b) Reduction rates of both, DR and HPR as a function of the reduction degree.
The lean quality of Indian iron ores containing a higher content of alumina (more than 2%) poses a problem in controlling Al 2 O 3 in slag that together multiplies the problem in operating the BF. Figure 1 shows the yearly average of Al 2 O 3 content in iron ore over the period for the iron ore fines received from Noamundi mines in ...
It is common in mining industry that the deposits contain multiple correlated attributes of interest. A typical example is iron ore mining, where up to six variables need to be considered in resource estimation and mine planning, namely iron (Fe), silica (SiO 2), alumina (Al 2 O 3), phosphor (P), loss on ignition (LOI) and Ochreous Goethite (GOL), and they are crosscorrelated.
