Kaolin is used in many consumer products and as a functional additive and process enabler in manufacturing. It is typically extracted from open-pit mines that range from small to very large scale (tens to hundreds of thousands of dry metric tons produced per year). Ore processing consists of removing impurities, engineering particle size and ...

Transportation of Open Pit. It is a process in which means of transport are adopted to transport ores and waste rocks from open pits to the designated unloading points and waste dumps, respectively, and transport the personnel, equipment, and materials to the working place. It is the key link of open pit mining.

In this paper a genetic algorithm is used in a heavily jointed rock mass in order to investigate the critical circular slip surface and modification of slope surface. This method was applied to the southern wall of the 6th Golbini Jajarm bauxite mine. The mine is the largest bauxite deposit in Iran, located to the northeast of the town of Jajarm in the …
