 Ironmaking in the blast furnace is a rather complex process, governed by the generation of multi-phases and fluid-flow conditions. It includes the reduction of iron ore pellet or sinter material towards producing metallic iron. The metallurgical behaviour of sinter and its reduction rate are controlled by its initial physical and chemical...

Utilisation of reverts in sinter production is nonetheless challenging considering physical and chemical characteristics: physical by means of presence of extreme amount of fine material (<1mm) and chemical in terms of heavy metals, alkalis and uneven distribution of materials. Poor granulation, affecting permeability and degrading of cold...

Large quantities of mine tailings are stored in mine tailings storage facilities. These facilities are only costing money for mining companies. In addition, these tailings storage facilities are prone to failure. To prevent this from happening these facilities have to be reinforced. This research introduces a concept to use geotextile tubes...

In the mining industry, sampling is an essential feature for the characterization of the material when all available material cannot be examined and only a small fraction of the total is evaluated. This study addresses how the minimum number of samples required to obtain a statistically accurate answer. This is important since less sample...

In the mining industry the initial capital expenditure budgeted in the feasibility study is being overrun structurally. These capital expenditure overruns have long been recognised, yet no method is available predicting the probability a mining project will experience an overrun.<br/><br/>This thesis introduces a method to assess the likelihood...

Blasting operations form a central part of any hard rock metal mining operation, and are, given its inherent hazards, critical in ensuring safe mine working environments. In order to improve workplace safety in such operations, it is important to select the right explosives and technologies, to issue rules and procedures and to offer adequate...

A current trend in mining is towards lower grade deposits when easy to access mineral deposits are depleted in the world. Therefore, to make the current deposits accessible, a cost of mining need to be economic. Costs can be decreased in equipment and mine planning to maximize the availability and utilization of equipment for example by...

The purpose of this thesis is to aid in the development of vertical cutting mining as a mining method. In order to do so, the technical feasibility and viability, and environmental benefit of vertical cutting as a complementary mining method were investigated. The investigation was performed for the case of the Victor Diamond mine in northern...

Applying wind turbines to create renewable energy is used by many companies around the world. However, in the mining industry, only two projects use wind energy. In the mining industry, energy consumption can be up to twenty-five megawatts per tonne of produced material. The main reason is the use of fossil fuel for generators in off-grid...
