The new wave of technological innovations for sustainable development of geotechnical systems

Abstract

Today the development of information network technologies and the new equipment determine the new strategies in the designing ore deposits exploration with elements of artificial intelligence, software system processing of the geodata, high-precision methods and tools for studying the mineral matter and the structure of mine massifs, renewable energy, and green technologies. In addition, these components are used in the sustainable operations of mine technical systems, for the active expendable of which it is necessary to make a transition to a new technological setup. It is associated with the capabilities of operational synchronous transformation of the taping resources and the adaptation of geotechnologies to specific conditions, to meet the needs of society in georesources.

Research of Concentrations of Ultrafine and Finely Dispersed Aerosols in the Atmosphere of a Southern Urals Mining Region

“…The lowest concentration of aerosols was registered at the territory of the industrial town, and it did not exceed 5,000 particles per cm 3 that was 4-fold less than at the underground mine site and nearly 5.5-fold less than the maximum value for the open pit site. Accordingly, the same distribution was typical of the LDSA (lung-deposited surface area [18]). (See Table 1)…”

“…All these factors have lead to the substantiation of a new toxicological parameter characterizing the severity of human body exposure to nanoparticles [18,19].…”

Mixed-type geotechnologies are the basis for cost-effective, safe and ecologically balanced development of ore deposits

“…Commercial-scale implementation of mixed-type, taking into account the achieved results [6][7][8], should start with the systematization and classification of physicotechnical and physicochemical technologies and their possible combinations. The defining specifications of a workable process flow sheet include geological and geotechnical characteristics of a mineral deposit and its safe and efficient mineability.…”

New technologies for diamond ores beneficiation

“…The main objective of the work is to develop and introduce technology and apparatuses for dry beneficiation of diamond-containing ores and create a fundamentally new class of modular mobile ore dressing units (MMODU) [3,4]. All components of equipment and materials for the production of modular mobile ore dressing plants will be produced at plants in the Russian Federation.…”
