Substantiation of research results on energy efficiency of basalt crushing

Abstract

Purpose. To experimentally determine the main design and operational parameters of the influence of rock mass properties on the Roller Crusher performance when processing basalt rock mass. Methodology. The crushing and grinding of basalts are studied by the methods of mathematical statistics in order to identify the results obtained and determine the dependences of technological parameters on the mechanical impact factors. Experimental studies are carried out on the example of basalts from the Rafalivskyi quarry in the Rivne region. Findings. It has been revealed that the elemental composition of rocks in the benches of basalt quarries has a different mineral composition. Experimental studies of the rock crushing results have determined the efficiency of using screening for crushing basalts. The experimental dependences of the roller crusher performance in crushing and grinding modes on the properties of the rock mass have been obtained. Originality. The value of crushed rock fractal joints has been found, when using cone and centrifugal crushers, which is characterized by the shape factor and fractal dimension D. For cone crusher Kf=2.15.0 and D=1.4. For centrifugal crusher Kf=1.51.8 and D=1.17. These parameters testify to the energy feasibility of using centrifugal crushers. The high value of the multiple correlation coefficients R2 and Fisher criterion F, whose value at a significance level of 0.05 is higher than the critical one, indicates a sufficient convergence between the experimental and theoretical results and the accuracy of the obtained analytical dependences. Practical value. The generalized models for determining the Roller Crusher performance, obtained for each rock type, based on significant factors, greatly facilitate the choice of parameters for crushing and grinding processes, and also allow choosing a rational mode of crusher operation.

“…The content of nitrates in the soil exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of MPC (45 mg/dm 3 ) and ranges from 30 to 90 mg/dm 3 . The content of manganese in groundwater within the study area in all samples exceeds the MPC (0.1 mg/dm 3 ). An area with a manganese content in groundwater of 50-300 mg/dm 3 has been allocated directly on the territory of the solid household waste site.…”

“…Due to the fact that mine waters are highly mineralized (average mineralization is 2.0-4.0 g/dm 3 ) and contain a significant amount of toxic substances, there is a real threat of contamination of aquifers and the fertile soil layer.…”

“…The bulk of waste of this class (98%) is neutralized, the rest is transferred to other enterprises for further use or stored . Waste of the fourth class of danger is represented mainly by phosphorus oxides, which accumulate in phosphogypsum dumps located near the production site of OJSC " Rivneazot " [3] .…”

Modelling mineral reserve assessment using discrete kriging methods

“…Boundary value is such a minimal content of a useful component in terms of which the sample may be included to a productive contour [29]- [32]. Apparently, the idea of geometry and structure of productive deposits as well as average percentage of useful components within them depends upon the boundary value [33], [34]. The lower boundary value is, the greater geometry of the deposits are, the simpler their shape is, and the lower mineral content is.…”
