The integrated use of minerals facilitates the reduction in the impact of mining on the environment. Many industries are in need of quartz sand in huge quantities. Quality requirements for quartz sand often refer to a high percentage of SiO2 and low content of Fe2O3, as well as the absence of clay impurities. The extraction of conditioned quartz sands and their close geographic location to consumers are economically profitable. Due to their wide distribution in Ukraine and their subsurface occurrence, glauconite-bearing Paleogene sands attract special attention. It has been experimentally confirmed that such sands are capable of dry magnetic separation. As a result of dry magnetic separation, three magnetic fractions and a nonmagnetic fraction were isolated. Glauconite was the dominant mineral in the magnetic fraction at 0.8 Tl. Their content was 5.1% and 2.8% in sand, respectively. The nonmagnetic fractions obtained from two studied samples were at 80.4 and 80.7%, respectively. XRF analyses showed that in each nonmagnetic fraction the content of SiO2 is at 96.9 wt.% and 93.7 wt.%, and Fe2O3 at 0.26 wt.% and 0.87 wt.%, respectively. In XRD, the nonmagnetic fractions contained 94.8% and 93.1% of sand, and 0.8% and 1.9% of glauconite, respectively. The values of the fineness moduli for the nonmagnetic fractions were 1.10 and 1.85. The size classes of quartz sands were 0.63 + 0 mm and −0.8 + 0 mm. Compared with current Ukrainian standards, the nonmagnetic fractions can be used in the building industry as well as in the manufacturing of glass, with the addition of a certain amount of glass from recycling.
Purpose. The substantiation of the mathematical model of mechanical deformation of the elastic-plastic medium and the modeling of the transport process of the expansion assemblies. Methodology. Mathematical and theoretical studies were based on the fundamental theory of continuum mechanics and general positions of engineering mechanics. Analytical and graphical analysis of mathematical models carried out on a PC in a specialized software complex. Results. In the current conditions of economic development of the country, considerable attention should be paid to the development and modernization of certain sectors of the economy. Significant amounts of work, which are accompanied by the development of soil of different properties, which can be defined as an elastic-plastic material. These studies will solve a number of problems that are acute not only in agriculture but also in construction, in the open pit mining, reclamation, one of which is an imperfect process of loosening the soil during its cultivation. Therefore, the urgent problem is to establish rational parameters of the transport surface of the unit for loosening the elastic-plastic material. The developed mathematical model allows determining the emerging stress, which in turn determines the boundary of the destruction of the elastic-plastic material. In the design of lining assemblies, it is advisable to have a radius of the outlet section R = 0.18 m or more. Originality. The mathematical models for the process of destruction of elastic-plastic material and forecasting of optimal transport parameters for designing of expansion assemblies are obtained. Practical value. The developed mathematical model will provide an improvement in the process of loosening elastic-plastic material, and engineering calculations during the design of the rutter can prevent unwarranted increase in resistance, with displaced materials on the cutting surface.
