“…The compaction process should take into consideration the reactive behavior of CKD with water. There is a lack of studies concerning the compaction behavior of CKD with different lubricants, and the values of maximum dry densities and required optimum moisture content which could be used (Beltagui et al, 2018b;Jo and Jang, 2021;Qarahasanlou et al, 2022).…”

Optimizing the density of waste materials in landfills by proper compaction prolongs the facility life due to the efficient use of landfill airspace. Cement kiln dust (CKD) is a waste by-product produced in huge amounts which exceeds the used quantities in the cement recycling industry and beneficial CKD applications. The vast amount of CKD is almost landfilled in its loose state in Egypt which causes a big loss in landfill airspace due to the low density of CKD. The hydraulic binder effect and dusty behavior of reactive CKD complicates its compaction process. Accordingly, this research was performed to investigate CKD compaction properties with three types of lubricants, which are potable water, salt water and waste oil. Maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) for these lubricant types and different wetting methods were investigated in order to improve the landfill air space utilization and to reduce the dusty effect of CKD during compaction. The effect of immediate compaction after wetting and the effect of compaction delay by allowing CKD to hydrate initially for a certain period were studied. Compaction energy and methods of the wetting of CKD either by full submergence in water or prewetting were tested. The maximum weights of a disposed CKD and durations required to fill an intended landfill air space for different CKD conditions, lubricant types and compaction methods were presented for a case study in Ain Sokhna, Egypt.

“…To create effective development systems, it is important to determine specific technical solutions that reduce the specific costs of testing the object, pilot operation, and mineral extrac tion. This can be achieved by considering the favourability of mining and geological conditions, the utilization of extraction reserves, the degree of perfection of technological processes and technical means, the reliability of equipment, wells, and work ings that ensure the process, the optimality of system elements and parameters, the degree of system automation, and ensuring high quality and simplicity of equipment nodes and the variety of interchangeable elements of the working body design [28,29].…”

Purpose. To develop and substantiate an effective methodology for determining the technological parameters for the use of hydraulic mining giants in the extraction of amber-bearing rocks, and to demonstrate the necessity of applying hydromechanical extraction methods for developing amber deposits in the Polissia region. Methodology. A comprehensive approach was used to determine the technological parameters for hydromechanical amber extraction, involving a systematic analysis and generalization of the experience in amber extraction from amber-bearing rocks. The research focused on the classical scheme of hydromechanical extraction, with an emphasis on establishing an auxiliary pumping station to restore water levels lost during operations. Findings. Based on the conducted calculations, the productivity parameters for the auxiliary pumping station were determined to be Q = 72 m³/hour. The optimal pipeline diameter was selected as D = 0.3 m, and the optimal slurry velocity was determined to be v0 = 2.75 m/s. The methodology for determining the technological parameters of hydromechanical amber extraction from amber-bearing rocks was substantiated, including the theoretical foundations for their calculation and the selection of extraction equipment. Originality. For the first time, based on the analysis of the conducted research on the technological parameters for amber extraction from amber-bearing rocks in the Polissia region of Ukraine, a methodology has been theoretically substantiated and developed. This methodology determines the sequence of technological operations for the intensity of the process of destroying and washing out amber-bearing rocks by hydromechanical means. Practical value. The research results propose the most efficient method for amber extraction. These results allow for the determination of optimal parameters for hydraulic mining giants in the hydromechanical extraction of amber-bearing rocks and overburden, thus improving extraction efficiency with minimal costs.

Mining was considered as a dangerous job which has now turned into much safer employment with the development of automation and communication techniques in mines. In mining, the equipment, tools, and techniques have changed significantly and continue to transform. This review work explores numerous such emerging problems and opportunities in different mining circumstances. The occupational safety and health management methods, as well as risk control technology allied with the mining industry, includes day‐to‐day management of operations, identification and assessment of risks, premature warning and active risk monitoring, etc. The research work in the safe and sustainable environment reveals that the major accidents occur due to natural calamity, human error, the control of which would ensure a sustainable and safe working environment for miners to a considerable extent. The present study proposed a smart and sustainable framework for a safe and clean environment for emerging safety and ergonomics issues through automated mining concept. The proposed framework has been developed by reviewing the previous research work related to mine safety, mine hazard, health, ergonomic issues, and mine automation.
