Abstract: The invention relates to a method for protecting the refractory lining of a metallurgical reaction vessel containing a smelt consisting of metal and slag, the reacting agents for the smelt being fed to the metal bath through introducing means disposed below and above the bath surface, and the gases escaping from the smelt being afterburned with oxidizing agents in the gas space, i.e. in the space above the still smelt, whereby gaseous reacting agents and/or gases acting inertly in the metal bath are fed to the smelt below the bath surface, and the total refractory lining surface in the gas space of the metallurgical reaction vessel is wetted by partial amounts of smelt in the form of drops, splashes, liquid portions rising or ejected eruptively and like a fountain and/or by wave or sloshing motion of the smelt.

Abstract: A method is provided to coordinate loading of a material in an operational area by machine actors including haul trucks and loading vehicles. The method implements quick and efficient loading of trucks with the material in order to ensure that they are highly utilized. A vehicle coordination assembly is provided to establish data communications with vehicle sensing systems of the haul trucks and of the loading vehicles and determine load-ready haul trucks. For each load-ready haul truck, a loading task is assigned to two or more of the loading vehicles for loading of the load-ready haul truck. Each task specifies a respective safe operating space in which a loading vehicle is restricted to operating. The assigned loading vehicle with a safe operating space extending over a side of the haul truck can only perform a dumping operation to the haul truck at any one time.

Abstract: A system for mining material in a seam under an overburden layer using a geological model map of a geological formation, including a desired drilling end point at a predefined position relative to a geological boundary between the overburden layer and seam. A drill controller controls operation of a drill drilling a blast hole. A sensor pack senses, while drilling the blast hole, blast hole drilling operation parameters; and feeds the sensed parameters in real time to the drill controller. A data storage module stores a geological model of the geological formation and sensed parameters data. A processor module generates a geological model map including the desired drilling end point and locates the drill bit position relative to the geological boundary and such end point. The drill controller drills to the desired drilling end point and causes the drill to stop drilling upon reaching such end point.

Abstract: A process for direct reduction of iron ore in a solid state includes exposing briquettes of iron ore fragments and biomass to electromagnetic energy under anoxic conditions and generating heat within iron ore in the briquettes. The iron ore is reduced in a solid state within the briquettes, and the biomass provides a source of reductant.

Abstract: Microbial-assisted heap leaching of fragments or agglomerates of fragments of copper-containing sulfidic ores, such as chalcopyrite ores, and copper-containing sulfidic waste materials is disclosed. A heap leaching method includes controlling the sulfate concentration in a leach liquor. When heap leaching includes using agglomerates, a method of forming agglomerates includes adding the feed materials at, or close to, the inlet end, typically no more than 40%, typically no more than 30%, more typically no more than 20%, of the length from the inlet end of the agglomeration unit.
