Abstract. Mining of iron ore is a highly capital and energyintensive process. Life cycle assessment (LCA) of the mining and mineral processing of iron ore in Australia was carried out in this chapter using SimaPro LCA software as a case study. The environmental impacts considered in the study were embodied energy and greenhouse gas (GHG ...

Introduction. Orebody with a dip angle of 2050° and a vertical thickness of 515 m is called inclined mediumthick orebody [].Inclined mediumthick orebody accounts for 59% of nonferrous ore reserves, 18% of iron ore reserves, 30% of reserves in gold mines, and over 70% of reserves in phosphate rock [].Since the dip angle of the footwall is very gentle, the blasted muck cannot be ...

Drilling and blasting. The ore deposit can be mined by means of drilling and blasting in order to fracture the rock into a loadable size. Blasting parameters should be matched with mechanical machines for drilling of blast holes and charging of explosives. Blast holes are drilled in welldefined patterns, which consist of several parallel rows.

By the late 1600's and early 1700's, iron ore was still being mined in ia and western Massachusetts. Small scale bloomeries, the most primitive form of smelting, reduced the ore into a porous mass of iron slag called bloom or sponge bloom was hammered into a low quality wrought iron by using hand held or large, heavy hammers powered by water.

The excavators' efficiency, given as the mucking rate and bucket payload, is investigated in this paper in terms of the influence of the blasting parameters on it. Quantitative data are given for 11 blasts in an open pit iron ore mine. The predominant rocks in the blocks, itabirite and hematite, are described by pointload strength and ...

Conventional mine shaft sinking methods involve the performance of a cycle of different operations—drilling and blasting, removal of smoke and cleaning of flyrock lodged on overhead timbers, mucking and hoisting of the broken rock, and timbering. The latter (a) may be the last operation of the cycle, (b) may be carried on during drilling and mucking, provided it is done from a substantial ...

The major source of dust production in the mine is drilling, blasting and vehicle movement. Drilling is done by wet drilling method by providing water injection system and also dusts extractors which are fitted at the collar level to collect the dust. Continuous work on improving the powder factor is down to produce minimum quantity of dust ...

Hardrock mining involves uncovering and extracting nonfuel metal and mineral deposits of solid ores or eroded deposits in streambeds. Eleven common minerals mined are copper, gold, iron ore, lead, molybdenum, phosphate rock, platinum, potash, silver, uranium, and zinc. The combined value of the eleven metals and minerals listed above was 12. ...

excavation or mucking, hauling, dewatering, drilling, and processing. However, the effect of blasting on the comminution process is the focus of this research study. Comminution is the term applied to the process by which the particle size of an ore stream is progressively reduced. It is the first step in processing the ore from the mine.
