The longwall mechanised equipment set - LMES - is driven into the dismantling chamber without a thrust at the chamber roof. The elements of the set are moved in blocks by three from the dismantling chamber into the installation one, on the way they do routine maintenance as the blocks move in the technical inspection chamber, at the same time they use movement mechanisms of thrust-sliding-sliding type with autonomous power supply to each block. The mechanism of movement of thrust-sliding-sliding type they use the same sections of the LMES support and their interconnection via movement cylinders with the appropriate chute of the longwall face conveyor. For the period of dismantling they create n autonomous blocks of three with alternate movement of 3 sections of the support without thrust relative to 3 chutes that serve as a stiff beam.

Method for recultivation of tailing dumps

Method for recultivation of tailing dumps

Invention relates to mining and may be used for recultivation of anthropogenic structures and strengthening of dust-producing surfaces. The method includes treatment of stored tailings with a binding compound, sowing of perennial herbs and compaction of the surface layer. At the same time previously, for formation of a pedogenic layer, they treat the surface of the tailing dump with a zeolite hydraulic mix at the ratio of zeolite-water equal to 1:2 and perform tillage of the surface layer. And treatment of soil with a binding compound, sowing of perennial herbs and compaction of the surface layer is carried out simultaneously, at the same time binding compounds are water-soluble polymers.

Method to determine value of undermining of hardening fill under mechanical damage of ore massif

Method to determine value of undermining of hardening fill under mechanical damage of ore massif

Invention relates to mining industry, namely, to undermining of ore bodies with filling of the mined space with hardening mixes. The method to determine extent of undermining of hardening fill under mechanical damage of ore massif includes formation of a hole in the ore massif and fixation of a stiff rod in it for fixed depth, supply of hardening filling mix into the mined space, damage of the ore massif with a part of the contact layer of the hardening fill massif. When mining the ore massif, they damage the rod in the ore massif and in the contact layer of the hardening fill massif, and the extent of undermining of hardening fill is determined according to the difference in the following formula: Δ=L-L1-L2, where Δ - extent of undermining of the hardening fill massif; L - total length of blind cavity, arranged inside the rod; L1 - length of rod deepening in the hole of the ore massif; L2 - length of blind cavity that is left after damage of the ore massif.

Open mining method for mineral deposits

Open mining method for mineral deposits

Invention relates to mining, more precisely to open mining of high deposits with use of continuous operation technique. The method includes cutting of a permanent trench, construction of a working trench, installation of transportation lines, bench cutting of mineral resources by continuous extraction and haulage system with a fan-shaped area of operations. When operations are performed in the fan-shaped manner a solid bed located outside the fan-shaped border is developed simultaneously; mineral deposits are shipped to transportation lines and at first the area of a V-shaped cut is determined at the fan-shaped area of operations in compliance with the following condition: S i ( sector ) = π ⋅ L w a 2 ⋅ α i 360 , where Lwa - length of working area, m; αi - angle of working area turn, degree; then the area of the V-shaped cut is determined with consideration of the solid bed in compliance with the following condition: S i = L w a 2 ⋅ t g ( ∑ i = 1 n α i ) 2 , where Lwa - length of working area, m; αi - angle of working area turn, degree; and for the purpose of simultaneous performance of the fan-shaped working area and the V-shaped cut in the solid bed its volume is determined in compliance with the following condition: V s = H ⋅ ( S i − S i − 1 − S i ( sec ​ t o r ) ) ,    where H is an average thickness of mineral deposit, m; Si is the area of the V-shaped cut with consideration of the solid bed, m2; Si(sector) is the area of the V-shaped cut, m2.

Method for large-scale explosive destruction of mine rock masses of complex structure for selective extraction of mineral deposit at open-pit mining

Method for large-scale explosive destruction of mine rock masses of complex structure for selective extraction of mineral deposit at open-pit mining

Invention refers to mining industry, and namely to open-pit mining operations at development of ore and non-ore blocks of mineral deposits, the sections of which are sufficiently different as to mining-and-geological structure and quality of a valuable component, and namely to selective extraction of a mineral deposit by large-scale explosive destruction of mine rock masses of a complex structure. In rows of charges, which cross different-type mine rocks, well and group beam charges are located; group beam charges are located in sections requiring intense crushing. The latter are located in sections requiring intense crushing with direction of a convex beam surface towards intense crushing; row-by-row explosive breakage of single well and group beam charges is performed, thus performing row-by-row extension of nominal diameter of an explosion cavity.

Method of dumping at open mining of mineral deposits

Method of dumping at open mining of mineral deposits

Method involves extraction of overburden, its transportation to a dumping place and its unloading under dumping front slope. Unloading of overburden and its laying is performed in separate stock piles located parallel to each other, onto the internal slopes of which the smallest overburden rocks are unloaded, and paste-like tailings are dumped between them after benefication processing of ores; at laying of every next stock pile, stockpiling of tailings of benefication processing of ores is performed from the pre-formed stock pile, and distance between stock piles is determined as per a mathematical formula.

Method of dumping onto inclined base

Method involves dumping of an initial tier of dump rocks onto an inclined base with height H that is determined based on the following condition: H = 2 ⋅ V o ⋅ K K o ⋅ L o ⋅ ( 1 t g α + t g β ) , where VO - overburden rock volume, m3; K - coefficient of water content in paste-like tails after concentrating ore processing; KO - overburden ratio; Lo - dump length, m; α - natural angle of slope of overburden rock dump, degrees; β - surface slope, degrees, and between the inclined base and slope of the initial dump tier there stockpiled are paste-like tails after concentrating ore processing.

Open cut development method for steeply low stratified deposits

Invention pertains to mining and it can be used for development of steeply low stratified deposits, including eluvial and deluvial placers. The method includes stock penetration at independent levels, formation of working sites and extraction of minerals by mining equipment stepwise. At that formation of working sites is made from top downward; moreover steps are made by layer-by-layer extraction and horizontal shift of the mineral to the upper edge of the step and its subsequent throwing along the slope until a working site is formed thus providing safe operation of mining equipment and transport facilities.

Development method of water-bearing mineral deposits

According to the proposed method, an open-pit field is developed with a trench; the open pit is filled with water and an extraction device is installed in it; the open-pit field is developed in downward horizontal layers with water level control after development of layers. The water-filled open-pit field is divided into the following zones: working deposit zone prepared for development and developed deposit zone; in each of the above zones there installed are water-nonpermeable screens fenced from the common open-pit field. In addition, each zone is restricted with partition walls and water level is controlled, thus providing its increase in the working zone provided that Hl>Hw+ Hs.max, where: Hl - height of horizontal layer, m; Hw - height of water column, m; Hs.max - maximum scooping height, m; and under the condition of Hw > Hds.max, there provided is water level decrease in the working zone, where Hds.max - maximum scooping depth, m; and as the extraction device is being moved to a new working zone, installation of partition walls in the prepared zone and removal from the developed zone is performed.
