Purpose. Development of a methodology for determining the level of actual losses and dilution of ore based on the identified patterns of the influence of occurring ore body elements and the stope parameters when mining thin slope deposits using a system for delivering ore by the blasting force. Methods. The task set is solved using an integrated approach, including the analysis of literary sources and the existing practical experience on the issues of losses and dilution, conducting experimental-industrial experiments in the conditions of the Akbakai deposit to assess the recommended method effectiveness for determining the values of excess losses and dilution of ore, geomechanical assessment of the mass using the methods of limit equilibrium, numerical and probabilistic analyses. Findings. A methodology for determining losses and dilution when mining thin slope deposits using a system for delivering ore by the blasting force is proposed, which makes it possible to predict excess losses and dilution coefficients arising from stope roof caving and incomplete ore delivery. The actual losses and dilution of ores in the Akbakai deposit have been determined based on the proposed methodology and instrumental surveys. The developed methodology for determining the values of excess losses and dilution makes it possible to take preliminary measures to prevent the stope roof caving with the complete ore mass delivery using the blasting force. Originality. New dependences have been revealed for the conditions of the Akbakai deposit: logarithmic – the value of dilution depending on the angle of the ore body occurrence; polynomial – the stope maximum span depending on the ore body dip angle; exponential – ore losses depending on the angle of the ore body occurrence. Practical implications. The practical significance, confirmed in the course of pilot-experimental work, is in minimizing the percentage of loss and dilution of the useful component when mining thin slope ore deposits using a sublevel blast-hole stoping system with an open stope space, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of the produced mineral.

Purpose. The study of stress distribution within an elastic semi-infinite material under the action of an external loading is of great importance in the theory of elasticity. In most cases, the lack of knowledge about the stress distribution within a material can result in incomplete and inappropriate engineering designs, leading to unsatisfactory consequences. The latter include cracks and fractures, created inside the concrete segmental lining in TBM tunneling, as well as indentations that occur in floors due to the lack of pillar design not only in underground mining, but even in civil projects. This study focuses on the one-dimensional and two-dimensional internal stress distribution induced by arbitrary rectangular–square loading, in other words, that applied to an elastic semi-infinite material. Methods. Firstly, this paper uses an analytical method and, subsequently, a numerical method. In the analytical study, the point load equations of Boussinesq and Westergaard are used. Extending these equations to the rectangular loading area, four new equations are introduced. Using the Abaqus finite element software, the numerical study is performed in 3D space. Findings. The results show that the answers from the introduced equations are in high consistency with numerical ones. However, the result of the extended Boussinesq point load equation is closer to the answer obtained by the numerical method. Originality. Four new equations, presented in this paper, describe one-dimensional and two-dimensional stress distribution. Practical implications. The presented equations can provide a simple and convenient way to solve rectangular load problems in many cases such as foundation, civil and mining projects. This study uses initial information on specific segments in the Tabriz Metro line-2 Project.

Purpose. The research purpose is to apply an original combined approach to the study of landslide occurrence in the Tarzoust region, based on geophysical approaches. This is extremely important because landslides damage roads and buildings in many parts of North Africa, especially in the city of Tarzoust, NE Algeria. Significant slope failures have resulted in serious disasters in the region. Methods. In this study we use Vertical Electric Soundings (VES) and Seismic Refraction Method (SRM) for underground exploration, as well as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to support the latter two methods. Findings. The clayey nature of the terrain is confirmed, very often covered by a mantle of superficial colluvium formations. The depth of the bedrock and shear surface has been precisely determined. The ERT reveals that the terrain has already experienced instability in the past. Originality. The originality of this study is in the combination of data from various sources and different approaches for the purpose of planning the deployment and use of land. Practical implications. Our approach has proven that the combination of geological and geotechnical data with geophysical deterministic methods can help engineers and decision-makers in land management. Our recommendations consist of topographic, inclinometric and piezometric monitoring for slip development and the effectiveness of reinforcement measures for new housing, and equipment programs for regional planning.

Purpose is to determine the effect of quality indices of coal characterized by different degrees of metamorphism as well as petrographic and ultimate composition on the values of its grindability defined by the Protodyakonov and Hardgrove methods. Methods. 14 coal samples being a part of the raw material base of coking and chemical enterprises of Ukraine were studied. In terms of the samples, the parameters of technical, petrographic, and ultimate analysis were identified. GOST 21153.1-75 Rocks. Method of determining the Protodyakonov strength coefficient and ISO 5074:2015 Bituminous coal. Determination of Hardgrove grindability index were used to identify coal grindability. Graphical and mathematical dependencies between the indices of coal quality (R0, Vdaf, Cdaf, Oddaf) and values of its grindability (f and HGI) were developed. Findings. The obtained mathematical and graphic dependencies of the effect of different indices of coal quality (R0, Vdaf, Cdaf, Oddaf) on the values of its grindability (f and HGI) were obtained. It is shown that dependence of coal quality indices with its strength coefficient (f) is much lower (R2 = 0.550-0.716) than with the Hardgrove grindability index (HGI): R2 = 0.807-0.937. Originality. For the first time, comparative measurements of coal grindability according to the Protodyakonov and Hardgrove methods have been performed. It has been identified that the value of these indices are inversely proportional and described by a second-order polynom. Practical implications. The obtained graphical and mathematic dependencies can be used to predict the operation of crushing equipment for both individual coal and the one of different grade and ultimate composition at coking-chemical and heat-producing enterprises.

Purpose. Several natural and anthropogenic factors control the hydro-geochemical behavior of groundwater. These factors influence on the quality, even the suitability of this resource for drinking. The main purpose of our study is the application of multivariate statistical methods to compile the mechanisms of mineralization acquisition in confined aquifers. Methods. The adopted method measures the chemical evolution of Ca+2, Mg+2, Na+, K+, HCO-3, Cl-, SO4-2, NO-3, NO-2, NH+4, and PO4-3 using an atomic-absorption spectrometer. The content of nitrogen and dissolved oxygen is measured using a spectrophotometer. Temperature (T°), electrical conductivity (EC), pH and dissolved oxygen are determined using a multi-parameter system. Findings. The main results show that 28 water samples from the Mio-Plio-Quaternary aquifer of the Gadaïne-Ain Yaghout plain have chemical facies of chloride, sulfate-calcium and chloride-magnesium types. Originality. The originality of the study is in the demonstration that water acquires its carbonate mineralization at the supply limits. Whereas it acquires its chloride, sodium and sulfate mineralization in contact with terrigenous saliferous formations, as well as in its interaction with the salt chotts formations. The results show a significant variation in the concentrations of chemical elements, in some cases exceeding drinkability standards. Mineralization is mainly caused by the dissolution of evaporitic minerals such as gypsum, halite and epsomite. Practical implications. The practical implications of this study could be resumed in terms of the convenience of multiva-riate statistical evaluation of complex physical-chemical databases in identifying pollution sources and understanding temporal variations for effective groundwater quality management in semiarid regions.

Purpose. Determination of the potential efficiency of the alternative method of methane production from subaquatic gas hydrate deposits using the emissions of underwater mud volcanoes considering geological and thermodynamic conditions typical for the Black Sea. Methods. Computer modeling of the processes considering changing of the thermodynamic parameters of the supplying fluid within the pipeline and hydrate deposits was carried out on the basis of the Aspen Hysys program, using the Ng and Robinson model to calculate the energy potential of the fluid. Findings. An algorithm for calculating the distance to which a flow of the emissions mud volcano can be delivered with a temperature sufficient to remove sea bed hydrates from thermodynamic equilibrium and release methane has been developed. The schematic technological solution of an alternative method of methane production from gas hydrate deposits were presented by using the energy of emissions of mud volcano (fluid). The collection device for emissions of mud volcano and gas hydrate sea bed deposits were also been used within the model. The calculations have been done using Aspen Hysys computer program. Originality. The potential efficiency of the alternative method of methane production from gas hydrated sea bed deposits using thermal energy from emissions of underwater volcanoes is substantiated. It is also shown that in the case when the hydrate deposits cover the sea bed natural gas deposits as an impermeable layer, the thermal energy of the gas flow extracted from the sea bed natural gas deposits can be used for the decomposition of the hydrates This case is similar to the considered alternative method of using thermal energy of the emissions of mud volcanoes. Practical implications. The use of an alternative method of methane production from gas hydrate sea bed deposits by using emissions of mud volcano make it possible to increase the amount of gas obtained from subaquatic sources ~ by 7-10% without using additional sources of thermal energy. The practical application of this method will also prevent methane emissions from mud volcanoes into the atmosphere, which reduces pollution of seas and oceans with dissolved gases.

The meth-od correlates the granular composition of the blasted rock mass with blockiness of the rock mass, physical and mechanical properties of the blasted rocks, physical and chemical characteristics of the explosive used, and parameters of charge location in the rock mass. Originality. Based on the joint application of methods for determining the nodal and internal points of the coordinate grid and calculation of rock crushing zones in the blasted block, an analytical method for determining the sizes of rock crushing zones in the collapse was developed for the first time in mining.Based on the joint application of methods for determining the nodal and internal points of the coordinate grid and calculation of rock crushing zones in the blasted block, an analytical method for determining the sizes of rock crushing zones in the collapse was developed for the first time in mining. Practical implications. On the basis of the developed method, a computer program was created for the automated determination of the crushing zones sizes of a blasted block. With the help of this program, zones of small, medium and large crushing of the blasted block can be quickly and fairly accurately determined under various parameters and conditions of blasting rock masses. Locations of the blasted block crushing zones thus established serve as a tool for choosing rational technologies of drilling, blasting, excavating and loading operations, which determines their practical value.

Purpose. Studying the stress-strain state of the rock mass under the open pit, taking into account the change in the open-pit bottom width in order to reveal the geomechanical state and determine the safe parameters of the rock bridge. Methods. The peculiarities of the stress-strain state formation in the transition zone have been studied according to the methodology using numerical research methods and taking into account the geological strength index (GSI). Using this index, it is possible to take into account rock fracturing, water cut, lithology and other strength indicators, due to which there is a correct transition from the rock sample strength to the mass strength. Findings. Based on the numerical modeling results, it has been determined that an increase in the open-pit bottom width leads to a decrease in the zone of tensile stresses concentration in the arch pillar of the stope block. This, in turn, has a positive effect on the rock bridge stability, that is, the probability of the rock bridge collapse does not increase with an increase in the width of the open-pit bottom. Originality. For the first time, the dependence has been obtained of the horizontal stresses σ3 distribution at the stages of the open-pit bottom expansion at the Akzhal Zinc-Lead Mine. This makes it possible to realistically predict changes in the geomechanical state of the rock bridge depending on the width of the open-pit bottom. Practical implications. When predicting the change in the stress-strain state in the transition zone and determining the rock bridge safe parameters, it is possible to reduce the probability of their destruction and make timely management decisions on safe conditions for mining the reserves.

Purpose. The research purpose is to increase the efficiency of borehole uranium mining by selecting special decolmating solutions and rational parameters of the technology for influencing the seam near-filter zone of geotechnological boreholes, as well as improving the filtration characteristics of the seam, depending on the mineralogical composition of ores and the structure of sediment-forming materials. Methods. The method of X-ray phase analysis was used to study the powders. The core material samples were studied on transparent sections using a LEICA DM 2500 P microscope. The content of the elemental composition of the ores and host rocks in the samples of the productive horizon was controlled using an atomic emission spectrometer. Findings. Based on the research results, quantitative-qualitative characteristics of the host rocks in the productive horizon, sedimentary formations from technological boreholes have been determined, revealing various levels in the productive horizon. It has been found that in the Campanian horizon boreholes, ores have a complex structure and multicomponent sedimentary formations, representing a mixture of sediments of mechanical-chemical origin. Originality. The results of quantitative-qualitative, microscopic, thermal research methods of the characteristics of ore-bearing rocks from various horizons at the Syr Darya depression uranium deposit have been studied and comparatively analyzed. The sedimentary formations of technological boreholes in the productive Santonian, Maastrichtian, Campanian horizons of the Northern Kharasan field, Syr Darya depression, have also been sampled and studied. The choice of the most appropriate composition of chemical reagents for dissolution and prevention of sedimentary formation in porous media has been substan-tiated by the microscopic research method. Practical implications. A detailed study and comparative analysis of the characteristics of ores and host rocks in various productive horizons makes it possible to more accurately plan the mining of blocks, minimizing emerging risks. Using the developed combined technology for intensifying borehole uranium mining, it is possible to increase the efficiency of borehole uranium mining and reduce its operating costs. At the same time, the ecological and industrial safety of the work of intensi-fying the leaching uranium ores increases.
