The equations governing the motion of steel balls and their impact onto shell liners in industrial Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mills are derived in full details by the authors and are used in order to determine the effective design variables for optimizing the working conditions of the mill and to avoid severe impacts which lead to the breakage of SAG mill shell liners. These design vari...

Representative ammonites of the Family Heteroceratidae have been studied in this paper. The following forms are recorded from the Koppeh-Dagh Basin: Heteroceras cf. colchicus Djanelidze, Heteroceras spp., Martelites cf. tenuicostatus (Kakabadze), Martelites securiformis (Simonovich, Bastevich and Sorokin), Martelites cf. tinae (Eristavi), Martelites sp.1, Martelites sp. 2, Argvethites sp., Imer...

tirgan formation with lower cretaceous age (barremian-aptian) in the kopet-dagh basin consists of carbonate and siliciclastic rocks (calcareous shale and sandstone) which conformably lay between siliciclastic rocks of shurijeh formation below, and marly sarcheshmeh formation at the top. in this study, tirgan formation in two stratigraphic sections of abgarm (77 m in thickness) and sirzar (46 m ...

in this study, effects of solid concentration, temperature, and initial fe2+ concentration on bioleaching of sulfide mineral (chalcopyrite) obtained from sarcheshmeh copper mine in the region of kerman located in the south of iran were investigated. a mesophilic iron oxidizing bacterium, acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has been isolated from a typical chalcopyrite copper concentrate of the menti...

ground vibrations caused by blasting are undesirable results in the mining industry and can cause serious damage to the nearby buildings and facilities; therefore, controlling such vibrations has an important role in reducing the environmental damaging effects. controlling vibration caused by blasting can be achieved once peak particle velocity (ppv) is predicted. in this paper, the values of p...

due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. the known world class cu-mo deposit, sarcheshmeh porphyry deposit (central iran) selected as the study area. the hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...

sarcheshmeh copper complex is one of the largest industrial-mining complexes in the world and is the largest copper producer in iran. despite this, a huge amount of so2 gas is produced and enters the environment in this complex. therefore, this study investigates the value of improvement in air quality and estimates the marginal willingness to pay curve. for this purpose, oohb dccv method has b...
