Mining of non-metallic mineral deposits in the context of Ukraine’s reconstruction in the war and post-war periods

Abstract

Purpose. The research purpose is to study the conditions for mining deposits of metamorphic and igneous origin to produce crushed stone products in conditions of limited electricity supply. Methods. The research uses an integrated approach, including data analysis on quarry field spatial dimensions and the overburden rock thickness, which provides the basis for identifying deposits into basic groups. For the identified groups of deposits, taking into account the hydrological characteristics of non-metallic deposits and their parameters, patterns have been determined that characterize the change in the normative atmospheric precipitation inflow, based on the quarry field area and the change in the specific costs for water drainage depending on the studied quarry field type. Based on data on technical characteristics of mobile and semi-stationary units and aggregates, the parameters of physical-mechanical properties of granites and diorites, technical-technological solutions for the formation of complexes for processing raw materials for the production of crushed stone products are proposed. Findings. Problems arising during mining operations under conditions of limited electricity supply, which is caused by mass attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, have been revealed. A systematization of deposits of igneous and metamorphic origin for mining of rock building materials, which are the basis for the production of crushed stone products, has been developed. The rates of water inflow into the mined-out space depending on the quarry field spatial parameters and the depth of mining operations have been studied. Technological schemes of the apparatuses of a complex for processing raw materials for production of crushed stone products and the apparatuses of a complex for processing siftings are proposed. Originality. Dependences of possible water inflow into the mined-out space of the quarry and change in energy consumption for water drainage have been determined, taking into account the accepted classification criteria, namely the quarry field spatial dimensions, the overburden rock thickness and the quarry depth. Practical implications. The obtained data on the possible water inflow into the mined-out space of the quarry and change in energy consumption for water drainage make it possible to assess the efficiency of pumping units. The proposed technical-technological solutions on formation of complexes for processing raw materials to produce crushed stone products have been developed in accordance with the fundamental provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On approval of the National program for the development of the mineral resource base of Ukraine for the period up to 2030”.

The usege of artificial intelligence in the activities of mining enterprises

“…Thus, the built model allows for remote and autonomous operation of equipment at mining enterprises, which allows solving several tasks that were discussed above in this article. To reduce the number of neural network errors, it is necessary to consider many various parameters that directly depend on the level of digitization of the enterprise to formula (2). The application of the coefficient of accuracy of the solved tasks to formula (3) can serve as a criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the application of neural networks in the enterprise's information system as a result of evaluating the effectiveness of the performance of various types of enterprise's work.…”

Establishing the influence of the excavator standard sizes on the kaolin pit mining system parameters

“…The parameters of the mining system [30] at the pit are determined by the selected mining transport equipment provided for in the Design task, the engineering-geological and mining technical conditions of the deposit and the experience of operating pits for the refractory clays production [31].…”

Prospects for the lithium deposits development in Ukraine

“…In this regard, Ukraine should adopt the experience of EU countries, which are trying to process raw materials to obtain products with added value [19]. At the same time, tax revenues are increasing, new jobs are being created [20], and technological solutions are being improved in the country [21].…”
