Landslides represent great dangers that can cause fatalities and huge property damage. To prevent or reduce all possible consequences that landslides cause, it is necessary to know the kinematics of the surface and undersurface sliding masses. Geodetic surveying techniques can be used for landslide monitoring and creating a kinematic model of the landslide. One of the most used surveying techniques for landslide monitoring is the photogrammetric survey by Unmanned Aerial System. The results of the photogrammetric survey are dense point clouds, digital terrain models, and digital orthomosaic maps, where landslide displacements can be determined by comparing these results in two measurement epochs. This paper presents a new data processing method with a novel approach for calculating landslide displacements based on Unmanned Aerial System photogrammetric survey data. The main advantage of the new method is that it does not require the production of dense point clouds, digital terrain models, or digital orthomosaic maps to determine displacements. The applicability and accuracy of the new method were tested in a test field with simulated displacements of known values within the range of 20-40 cm in various directions. The new method successfully determined these displacements with a 3D accuracy of ±1.3 cm.

The size of grinding media is the primary factor that affects the overall milling efficiency of a ball mill (e.g. power consumption and particle size breakage). This article tackles the lack of a design tool that could help choose the ball loading composition in mills. Such a tool enables the maximization of the exposed surface area per unit energy (cm2/J). The effect of ball load composition, by varying the grinding media size distribution (e.g. alternatively by mixing four groups of 19.5, 38 mm; 19.5, 50 mm; 38, 50 mm and 19.5, 38, 50 mm), on the milling efficiency of a laboratory scale ball mill has been investigated in this article concerning ball number, total surface area, and ball weight. The results reveal that the amount of required energy is close in values, per each ball loading mixture, concerning three characteristic parameters. The amount of required energy varies between 3.22 kWh/st & 3.65 kWh/st. Moreover, the new surface area per unit energy (e.g. cm2/J) significantly influences milling efficiency. In contrast, the ball weight has a minor effect. This study would be helpful in industries in which comminution is part of the process, such as mining and cement industries.

Analysis, assessment and comparison of climatic conditions of the stopes in the upper and lower horizons of the Trepça Mine in Stantërg, is as a basic principle to control as well as to improve them by providing a sufficient amount of fresh air to the main workplaces of the mine. The issue of the microclimate in various underground mining stopes shall require continuous measurements in the main places - stations, so for the overlying floors the previous measurements of the ventilation service were used for some stopes of deep horizons, and the measurements for certain time periods for 2021 have been forwarded. Measurements performed in different stopes of different horizons, creation of a database according to the obtained values and diagrams obtained for two microclimatic parameters (temperature and air humidity) as well as their analysis in scientific aspect offer us the best possible assessment which is argued in this paper. The presented results show that to improve the climatic conditions in the Trepça Mine in Stantërg, it is not only enough to change the ventilation system but also to direct (direction or regulation) a sufficient amount of fresh air in the direction of the analyzed stopes and those planned. This is done in order to provide better air conditions and to create a safe environment for the health of workers in underground work environments as a primary goal to increase high productivity of production.

Coal is a vital carbon-based raw material which is used in the production of various advanced nanomaterials. This particularly holds true for the relevant research and development trends in India. New more environmentally friendly processes are under development with respect to metallurgical coke making and quality enhancement of high-ash Indian coal. Compared with chemical and physical methods, beneficiation of high-ash coal and its combustion by-products with organic liquids (various natural oils) are much more superior in terms of costs, efficiency, and environmental implications. Nanodiamonds have emerged as a key platform for nanoscience and nanotechnology developments. Indian scientists have applied eco-friendly and cost-effective ultrasonic assisted wet-chemical method to low-quality NE Indian coal and the resulting nanodiamond particles could have a wide range of applications in the field of microelectronics, optoelectronics, and biosensing. Also, Indian scientists have been working on ultrasonic-assisted chemical synthesis of activated carbon from low-quality subbituminous coal and its preliminary evaluation towards supercapacitor applications. This article shows that coal is a versatile and valuable raw material which should be saved for future generations at all costs.

Face failure is a typical phenomenon in longwall coal mines that can have a wide range of consequences. Face failure, which includes wall spall and roof collapse occurrences, is a hazardous virus that, if not managed, spreads fast across all stages of coal mining and has the potential to disable the mine. Based on this research, face failure may have a detrimental influence on technical, environmental, community, safety, and economic concerns, and its negative effects will leave an unfavourable legacy for the future. As a result, these impacts can be mitigated by effective management and risk management approaches. The quantitative and qualitative face failure risk model provided in this study has a considerable potential as a suitable tool for decision makers to analyse failure risk. Face failure-related high-risk variables can be discovered using this approach, which also makes comparing various mines easier from a face failure aspect. For validation, the model was evaluated in the Parvadeh, Negin and Pabedana coal mines. The study’s findings revealed that Parvadeh’s face failure risk factor was 5058, indicating a high risk in this mine due to mechanized mining. Furthermore, the scores of the Negin and Pabedana mines were computed as 3019 and 3165, respectively, indicating that they were in the moderate risk category owing to traditional mining.

The mining and burning of Croatian Raša coal had resulted in release of various contaminants into the local environment. They have remained in the local soil, water, and plants, and became available to animals through their consumption. In this study, tissue samples from a total of 12 birds from the Raša area and 8 birds from a control area were subjected to multi-element analysis (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Pb) by ICP-MS. The obtained results showed increased Se and Cd concentrations in some bird tissue samples compared to the control area. The highest concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Se were found in the liver, while the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb were found in the kidneys. Although some hazardous trace elements were elevated in the tissues of game species, the risk of consuming meat and offal of such species has been found to be very low.

The objective of the study is to design a drilling fluid that prevents differential pressure pipe sticking tendency caused by drilling fluid with fly ash that is an industrial waste generated from the combustion of coal. To this end, drilling fluid samples were prepared with different particle sizes obtained through the sieving and grinding process and increasing concentrations of fly ash. Differential pipe sticking tests of the samples were performed by applying 3.447 MPa (500 psi) pressure and using a Fann Model 21150 Differential Sticking Tester in order to determine how the coefficient of sticking and torque reading varied with the fly ash. From the results, it was observed that the coefficient of sticking and torque reading of the water-based drilling fluids decreased up to a specific concentration as the concentration of fly ash increased. Furthermore, particle size analysis illustrated that the coefficient of sticking and torque of the drilling fluid differs depending on the particle size of fly ash introduced. The drilling fluid designed with ground fly ash demonstrated lower sticking coefficient and torque reading than that of drilling fluids formulated with raw and sieved fly ashes. The experimental study revealed that fly ash is a promising additive in the mitigation of differential sticking tendency caused by water-based drilling fluids.

The amount of comminution or fineness of minerals in a mill can be described by various parameters, the most important of which is d80 (80% passing size). The purpose of this study is to investigate and simulate the optimal operating conditions of a ball mill in a copper processing plant. The actual operating conditions in the intended mill are performed with a 300 tph tonnage, a 267 second retention time, and a discharge d80 = 53 μm. Laboratory studies showed that the optimal economical and metallurgical recovery of copper in this plant is achieved in 65 μm ≤ d80 ≤ 75 μm with Flotation Recovery (R) = 90.16%, Economical Efficiency (EE) = 93.04% and Separation Efficiency (SE) = 88.64%. In this study, having the optimal d80 for the concentration unit, the mill data, and utilizing Excel Software and the Morrell method, first the total power for the optimal set of d80 was calculated, which is equal to 7790 to 8005 kW. Then, according to these power values, the corresponding retention times were calculated, which are equal to 236 and 247 seconds respectively. Finally, utilizing the retention time-tonnage relationship and taking into account the specific filling of the mill, the optimal corresponding tonnages to the obtained retention times were calculated, ranging from 324 to 340 tph. The results of these studies showed that by reducing the level of comminution from d80 = 53 μm to 65 μm ≤ d80 ≤ 75 μm, in addition to increasing flotation efficiency to R = 90.16%, EE = 93.04% and SE = 88.64%, about 4.21% to 7.09% energy savings and an 8.00% to 13.33% tonnage increase will occur.

Metal nanoparticles trapped in a biopolymer composite due to electrical conductivity properties improve electrochemical sensors with biomedical and environmental applications. The study aims are to design a novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) composite based on magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4@GO) modified silica (SiO2) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to electrochemical detect serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). A suitable amount of 5-HT is effective on motivational functions and the environment because it is a serotonergic neurotransmitter. But the desired nanocomposite may have a relatively low recognition, therefore must be in choosing the type of functional monomer be careful. In this regard, the design of the electrochemical sensor began by synthesis of Fe3O4@GO-SiO2@AuNPs nanocomposite. Then, MIP electropolymerization was carried out by using p-aminothiophenol (PATP)-functionalized Fe3O4@GO-SiO2@AuNPs nanocomposite in the presence of 5HT as a template molecule. Electrochemical polymerization of MIP nanocomposite was developed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the electrochemical properties of 5-HT were studied use differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technology in the 5HT solution. After optimization of preparation and measurement conditions on the designed sensor, the 5HT concentration range is 0.1 μM to 10 μM linearly, and the detection limit was 1 × 10-5 μM (S / N = 3). The wide concentration range and low detection limit were presented metal nanoparticles functionalized MIP with appropriate functional monomer have a great effect on the performance of the sensor. Furthermore, PATP-functionalized metal nanoparticles increase the conductivity and recognition of the prepared MIP electrochemical sensor to the quantification of 5-HT in biological samples with high selectivity and recovery.
由于导电性能，金属纳米颗粒被捕获在生物聚合物复合材料中，从而改善了生物医学和环境应用的电化学传感器。该研究旨在设计一种基于磁性氧化石墨烯(Fe3O4@GO)修饰二氧化硅(SiO2)和金纳米颗粒(AuNPs)的新型分子印迹聚合物(MIP)复合材料，用于电化学检测5-羟色胺(5-羟色胺，5-HT)。适量的5-羟色胺对激励功能和环境是有效的，因为它是一种血清素能神经递质。但所期望的纳米复合材料可能具有相对较低的识别率，因此在选择功能单体的类型时必须慎重。对此，电化学传感器的设计从合成Fe3O4@GO-SiO2@AuNPs纳米复合材料开始。然后，以对氨基噻吩(PATP)功能化Fe3O4@GO-SiO2@AuNPs纳米复合材料为模板分子，在5HT的存在下进行MIP电聚合。利用循环伏安法(CV)研究了MIP纳米复合材料的电化学聚合，并利用差分脉冲伏安法(DPV)研究了5-HT溶液中5-HT的电化学性能。通过对所设计传感器的制备和测量条件进行优化，5HT的浓度范围为0.1 μM ~ 10 μM，线性范围为1 × 10-5 μM (S / N = 3)，检测限为1 × 10-5 μM (S / N = 3)，具有较宽的浓度范围和较低的检测限。此外，patp功能化的金属纳米颗粒增加了制备的MIP电化学传感器的电导率和识别能力，对生物样品中5-HT的定量具有高选择性和高回收率。

Electrochemical polymerization of MIP nanocomposite was developed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the electrochemical properties of 5-HT were studied use differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technology in the 5HT solution. After optimization of preparation and measurement conditions on the designed sensor, the 5HT concentration range is 0.1 μM to 10 μM linearly, and the detection limit was 1 × 10-5 μM (S / N = 3). The wide concentration range and low detection limit were presented metal nanoparticles functionalized MIP with appropriate functional monomer have a great effect on the performance of the sensor. Furthermore, PATP-functionalized metal nanoparticles increase the conductivity and recognition of the prepared MIP electrochemical sensor to the quantification of 5-HT in biological samples with high selectivity and recovery.","PeriodicalId":44536,"journal":{"name":"Rudarsko-Geolosko-Naftni Zbornik","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68148333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The aim of this study was to determine the mass fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the soil of the Labin city area (west Croatia) as a consequence of the pollution caused by centuries old Raša coal mining and associated metal processing and foundry industries. Samples of topsoil down to 10-cm depth, following the removal of plant cover, were collected, air-dried, and sieved to <2 mm. Afterwards, they were extracted, and PAH levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography using a fluorescence detector with a varying wavelength of excitation and emission (HPLC/FLD). The results showed substantially elevated levels of PAHs across the study area. The soil pollution with PAHs increased in the direction towards the Raša Bay, where a former coal separation unit was in operation decades ago. The results demonstrated the presence of pyrolitic PAHs that resulted from Raša coal combustion at high temperatures in power plants, and unburnt coal-derived PAHs formed by Raša coal carbonization. This paper for the first time reports levels of PAHs in soil of the Labin city area, establishing them as higher than the values set by Croatian legislation. Therefore, this study clearly calls for immediate clean-up measures in order to solve the environmental pollution issue of the vulnerable local karst area.
