Subsidence is one of the main environmental impacts of underground mining worldwide. Besides, the increasing complexity of underground mining due to greater depths and interaction with inhabited and environmentally sensitive areas can lead to challenges that may threaten the viability of mining due to phenomena such as subsidence. This research aim...

Surface mining operations lead to an increase in the depth of open pits. As a result, there is a need to choose a conveyor transport, which allows transporting rock mass to a great height at high lifting angle. Conveyors with deep trough belts and tubular and steep incline belt conveyors are used to transport rock mass along curved and vertical rou...

Mining machines represent complex technical systems exposed to very difficult and demanding working conditions. The requirement of a high degree of effectiveness of technical systems in surface mines conditions a special organization of maintenance. The maintenance imperative is to ensure high reliability of parts of technical systems. For the main...

The article presents an analysis of a rational scheme for surface mining of peat raw materials using the in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) system for in-situ processing. Technologies for developing peat deposits are undergoing changes with the phased modernization of mining operations and related equipment, in line with the current trends toward...

Modifications in European environmental legislation requiring the minimization of the environmental footprint of mining operations have resulted in increased environmental costs and fewer investments in new surface mines. Due to the significant dependence of the global economy on mining, which provides raw materials and energy for most industries,...

Rockfalls pose a significant risk to personnel and equipment in open pit mines, yet there is currently no widely adopted tool for the detection and real-time monitoring of these hazards. This paper explores the use of thermal infrared cameras to observe, detect, and record rockfall events in surface mining operations, with the aim of protecting min...
