Carbonaceous overburden rocks carry a heightened metallogenic potential. The possibility of extraction of valuable metals from natural bitumens and overburden rocks of oil fields is considered. The results of mineralogical and technological researches of samples are presented. The analysis of sample has shown an increased content of valuable microelements in some objects. All samples contain carbon of varying degrees of metamorphism. The fact of simultaneous concentration of carbonaceous rocks by several microelem...

When coal preparation, particularly suitable for coking created considerable amounts of sludge. Most of the technological operations is taking place in water environment. Raw sludge at a time when technology was not yet at such a high level as today and emergency overflows were deposited in tailing ponds. This is practiced on coal districts in the Czech Republic and Poland. The purpose of this section was to analyze the possibility of another flotability of coal sludge deposited in settling ponds of company EKO CA...

In the present scientific work assessed current status of question about grinding stage effect to electrochemistry parameters of operation preparation slurry before intermediate selective flotation. Showed needs of more detail study chemical reactions in the slurry preparation and flotation processes.At example of Abiz deposit ores has been offer new methodology. The ores are polymetallic sulphide type and the one are most difficult for mineral processing. The methodology allows increase information base during fl...

The Rare Earth Elements (REE) have been classified as resources critical for the European Union and divided into: light rare earth elements and heavy rare earth elements. The demand for REE is constantly increasing, which is connected with the wide range of their applications. The article presents the results of research conducted to determine the concentration of Rare Earth Elements in fly ashes obtained from the combustion of coal at the Rybnik Power Plant. The concentrations were measured using the ICP-MS and S...

The growth in economy is reflected also in the rising demand for freight transportation. The freight railroad industry play an important role being a mainstay of transportation for basic industries. New projects are currently developed for increasing the capacity of transportation by rail from large coal and mineral basins to the places of consumption or within the processing plants. The combined heavy load and usage cycles imposes severe stresses on the components of the freight cars. To this purpose a comparativ...

According to data reported in the EU report, critical raw materials include 20 raw materials, including rare earth heavy metals (Gd-Lu and Y) and rare earth light metals (La-Eu). Thus, rare earth metals include lanthanides of atomic number 58-71 and scandiums with atomic numbers Sc -21, Y -39 and La -57, respectively. Rare earth metals are used in many modern, innovative techniques such as optics, nuclear technology, production of permanent magnets that are part of discs for computers and automotive hybrid motors,...

In our century and especially in recent decades the noise level reached an increasing width, becoming a polluting source of the same severity as chemical pollution. Increasing power and work speed of equipments has contributed to diversifying and increasing the number of noise sources and thus increased number of people exposed. Noise generating sources in technological procedures of processing may be of continuous nature (pneumatic energy production, water transport) or intermittent (systems for transporting mine...

The Power Plant Rybnik (Elektrownia Rybnik) is one of many in Poland, which is coal-fired. Fly ash, as is well known, are combustion by-products, which are mineral residue from burning coal. Their phase composition depends mainly on the quality of fuel (coal) and combustion conditions. In the mineral composition of the examined ashes one has identified minerals such as: glaze, quartz, mullite, spinels, hematite, and unburnt coal. Spinels present in the fly ash can be a source of some metals, and due to the magneti...

The article describes studies of the process of mineral raw refinement in dry, wet form and with addition of chemical reagents. Specific energy spent to refinement has been determined in the course of disintegration, as well as specific surface of particles before and after refinement has been measured. The values of refinement of inter-phase surface area of disintegrated mineral particles and values of specific surface energy have been calculated. With the help of performed studies one may obtain quantitative exp...

This article deals with a possibility of extraction flotative Ag-concentrate from the waste material, concretely slag arising from processing of silver and copper in the second half of the twentieth century, which is deposited around the city of KutnпїЅ Hora in the Markovi?ky region. A cationic octadecylamin was used as a flotative collector. The aim was to reach maximum metal content of the concentrate as well as maximum yield of Ag into concentrate during a decrease of raw material capacity. An anion active coll...

The use of closed water rotation in enterprises processing phosphorus-containing ores requires a long standing circulating water precipitation in the tailings storage. The paper studies possibility of treatment of industrial mineral processing waters from suspended particles and water-soluble impurities adversely affecting the flotation process with the help of reagents-flocculants. The characteristics of the dispersed and liquid phase of industrial waters formed during the processing of non-sulfide ores (for exam...
