Abstract >>
The article presents argumentation in favor of transition to high bench stripping in open pit mines in Kuzbass, which will increase coal production and improve mine performance. The authors find functional connection between the duration of the transition to high bench stripping and the increase in the finite depth of an open pit mine.

Abstract >>
Deep-level mining needs extra data on physical behavior of rocks at great depths (under high stresses). Without such data, any computations for deep-level technologies based on analogy with shallow-depth technologies are non-diagnostic. Elastic moduli of rocks may depend on the accumulated plastic deformation and their reduction is considerable in the known tests of metals. It seems interesting to study the influence of this property of rocks on distribution of residual stresses and displacements. Elastic transformation of an excavation after drivage (relief of stresses) largely affects surrounding rock mass and results in origination of a transition layer around the excavation. A local drop of deformation energy takes place in the surrounding rocks, which reduces stress concentration. The problem is studied based on an analytical solution obtained for a deep round excavation subjected to constant value compressive stresses at infinity and a solution taking into account the Young modulus. The article offers an algorithm for geomechanical condition of tocks and determines ranges for stresses and displacements in the zone of influence of excavation. Examples of calculations are given, and the results are discussed.

Abstract >>
Based on DEM, the problem on uniform shearing of granular material specimen is considered, the shape of the particles was chosen to be spherical, with assigned distribution per radii. At interfaces of the particles, dry friction and viscosity were taken into account. Loading was implemented as simple and broken trajectory shearing. The load trajectory was broken by means of sudden change in the shearing direction. It has been found that in this case, dilatancy rate and angle between axes of stress tensors and strain rates change jump-wise. The discrete medium shows the properties of the continuum model of granular material with internal friction and dilatancy. The authors discuss a criterion of the continuum model to be equivalent to the initial discrete model. Applicability of the numerical results to the continuum modeling of deformation is demonstrated.

Abstract >>
The authors evaluate the ratio of activities exhibited by physical and chemical adsorptions of an agent on sulfide minerals. The following assumptions are made: 1) the main kinetic restriction for flotation contact (particle-bubble interaction) is the film between mineral particle and air bubble; 2) water is removed from the film by both physical and chemical adsorptions; 3) the water volume removed by physical adsorption is conditioned by the difference in the volumes of water in the films bounded by meniscuses with advancing angle Θ A and receding angle Θ R and neck radius R. The water volume removed under the action of surface forces (hydrophobic, dispersive) was disregarded as the agent attachment was low dense and mosaic. The article reports experimental data on limit values of static advancing and receding angles on the surface of some sulfide metals. It is shown that selectivity of flotation of sulfides depends on the ratio of water volumes removed from the film by desorbable physical adsorption and non-desorbable chemical adsorption types of agents. The proposed method of selectivity estimation is suitable for minerals with similar (close) properties of the surface when stabilizing ion-electrostatic interaction between minerals and air bubbles is absent or insignificant. The calculation results may be of use to optimizing collecting ability of physically adsorbed low-polar or desorbable derivants of ionized agent with intent to improve selectivity of separation of sulfide minerals.

The analysis of adsorption isotherm and its mathematical processing show that copper exhibits strong affinity toward manganese ore surface; the Langmuir equation describes the copper adsorption equilibrium with high correlation factor. The Gibbs energy has negative value.
