This book provides an overview of paste tailings disposal at mine
sites. It deals comprehensively with the characterization of
sulphide-rich tailings, geotechnical and microstructural behaviour,
surface tailings disposal applications, underground paste
backfilling, and case studies. The authors place emphasis on the
characterization, monitoring, disposal and treatment, as well as
environmental considerations of problematic sulphidic tailings. The
framework is supported by worldwide case studies.
Seismic Exploration of Hydrocarbons in Heterogeneous Reservoirs:
New Theories, Methods and Applications is based on the field
research conducted over the past decade by an authoring team of
five of the world's leading geoscientists. In recent years, the
exploration targets of world's oil companies have become more
complex. The direct detection of hydrocarbons based on seismic wave
data in heterogeneous oil/gas reservoirs has become a hot spot in
the research of applied and exploration geophysics. The relevant
theories, approaches and applications, which the authors have
worked on for years and have established mature technical processes
for industrial application, are of significant meaning to the
further study and practice of engineers, researchers and students
in related area.
Once thought of as niche technology, operators today are utilizing
more opportunities with casing and liners as formations and
environments grow in difficulty, especially with the unconventional
oil and gas boom. Casing and liners for Drilling and Completions,
2nd Edition provides the engineer and well designer with up-to-date
information on critical properties, mechanics, design basics and
newest applications for today's type of well. Renovated and
simplified to cover operational considerations, pressure loads, and
selection steps, this handbook gives you the knowledge to execute
the essential and fundamental features of casing and liners. Bonus
features include: Additional glossary added to explain oil field
terminology New appendix on useful every day formulas such as axial
stress, shear stress in tubes and principal stress components
Listing section of acronyms, notations, symbols and constants for
quick reference
Alaska and the Klondike Gold Fields is one of the most accurate
accounts of the Klondike Gold Rush having been written during the
Gold Rush at its height in 1897. It provides a full account of the
discovery of gold. It outlines the enormous deposits of the
precious metal, covers routes traveled by the miners, camp life and
much more. Nearly 600 Pages tell the story of one of most famous
gold rushes ever. Now back in print from Miningbooks.com
This book covers virtually all of the engineering science and
technological aspects of separating water from particulate solids
in the mining industry. It starts with an introduction to the field
of mineral processing and the importance of water in mineral
concentrators. The consumption of water in the various stages of
concentration is discussed, as is the necessity of recovering the
majority of that water for recycling. The book presents the
fundamentals under which processes of solid-liquid separation are
studied, approaching mixtures of discrete finely divided solid
particles in water as a basis for dealing with sedimentation in
particulate systems. Suspensions, treated as continuous media,
provide the basis of sedimentation, flows through porous media and
filtration. The book also considers particle aggregations, and
thickening is analyzed in depth. Lastly, two chapters cover the
fundamentals and application of rheology and the transport of
suspensions.
This work is suitable for researchers and professionals in
laboratories and plants, and can also serve as additional
readingfor graduate seminars on solid liquid separation as well as
for advanced undergraduate and graduate level studentsfor courses
of fluid mechanics, solid-liquid separation, thickening, filtration
and transport of suspensions in tubes and channels.
The Shelf2Life Mines and Mining Collection is a unique set of
materials focusing on the operation of mines, the mining industry
and mineralogy in the 19th and 20th centuries. From first-hand
accounts of life in the mines to descriptions of mine construction,
excavation methods and machinery, to mine taxation and
determinative mineralogy, this collection reveals the science and
culture of the thriving mining industry pre-1923. Illuminating the
pages of these intriguing volumes are rock and mineral photographs
and mineral classification tables including chemical tests and
scientific experiments written during a period of significant
expansion in the discipline of mineralogy. The Mines and Mining
Collection unearths a period of early historical mining practices
and related scientific discoveries of value to enthusiasts,
students and mineralogists alike.
This book contains contributions to the 32nd Polish-Czech-Slovak
Symposium on Mining and Environmental Geophysics held in May 2009
in Piechowice (Poland). The papers are related to various aspects
of geophysical science such as induced seismicity, engineering
seismology, environmental geophysics and geophysics in geology
This unique book presents innovative and state-of-the-art
computational models for determining the optimal truck-loader
selection and allocation strategy for use in large and complex
mining operations. The authors provide comprehensive information on
the methodology that has been developed over the past 50 years,
from the early ad hoc spreadsheet approaches to today's highly
sophisticated and accurate mathematical-based computational models.
The authors' approach is motivated and illustrated by real case
studies provided by our industry collaborators. The book is
intended for a broad audience, ranging from mathematicians with an
interest in industrial applications to mining engineers who wish to
utilize the most accurate, efficient, versatile and robust
computational models in order to refine their equipment selection
and allocation strategy. As materials handling costs represent a
significant component of total costs for mining operations,
applying the optimization methodology developed here can
substantially improve their competitiveness
This reference presents a comprehensive description of flow through
porous media and solutions to pressure diffusion problems in
homogenous, layered, and heterogeneous reservoirs. It covers the
fundamentals of interpretation techniques for formation tester
pressure gradients, and pretests, multiprobe and packer pressure
transient tests, including derivative, convolution, and
pressure-rate and pressure-pressure deconvolution. Emphasis is
placed on the maximum likelihood method that enables one to
estimate error variances in pressure data along with the unknown
formation parameters.
Serves as a training manual for geologists, petrophysicists, and
reservoir engineers on formation and pressure transient
testing
Offers interpretation techniques for immediate application in the
field
Provides detailed coverage of pretests, multiprobe and packer
pressure transient tests, including derivative, convolution, and
pressure-rate and pressure-pressure deconvolution
