The company's tailings management solutions can offer producers a way to separate the solids from the liquids, resulting in a dry, drip-free, easy-to-handle solid product that can be sold, as well as clean process water that can be reintroduced into the production process. By implementing one or more of McLanahan's tailings management ...

Abstract. Pumps are used in mines for dewatering and consume about 18% of the total energy usage in an opencast coal mine. Quantitative estimation of water removal rate in a mine is necessary for designing an effective dewatering system and to minimise energy consumption. In this paper, a generic model is proposed to estimate …

The dewatering of coal mines and depressurisation of coal seam gas fields leads to decreases in local groundwater levels and induces flow into the pumped coal …

Choosing a mine dewatering system is often a complex process with multiple solutions on the market, and unique site aspects to consider. In the vast mining landscape, water management plays a pivotal role in operations, therefore selecting the appropriate dewatering system is a critical decision. Navigating the myriad of dewatering options …

typical coal mining area in China was selected for the application of the triple-factor model. We developed an optimization code, SIMP, which is used in conjunction with a flow simulation model to identify the optimal management scenarios. The SIMP code has been used in numerous case studies since the 1990s (Wu, 1992).

A large number of South Africa's open pit mines are located in fractured rock. Analytical solutions to pit flooding mainly make use of the Dupuit-Forchheimer approximation. A typical example of such a solution is the solution proposed by Marinelli and Niccoli (2000). The challenge with most of these solutions is that the pit geometry is ...
