| Summary |
"Principles and Practice in Mining Engineering is an up-to-date introduction to the scientific principles and technological practices of mining engineering. This book introduces the processes involved in surface and underground mining and covers many topical issues common to mining engineering practices, including mining and quarrying methods, environmental protection measures, finance and investment, policy and mining education. Recent technology and innovations (technovations) in the mining and mineral industry, including digital mine, IoT/IIoT, AI and machine learning are also discussed. Seven case studies of mines and mining operation from different parts of the globe are included to demonstrate how various minerals, including lithium, potash, copper, gold, uranium and coal are extracted. These case studies are written by experienced industry professionals working for reputable companies. Suggested readings, references, websites and conversion tables for mining engineering applications are included at the end of the book for reader's reference. Principles and Practice in Mining Engineering gives practical, real-world knowledge to the mining workforce engaged in the mining and minerals industry globally. The book also aims at students, scientists, academics, NGO's and professionals just entering the mining industry"-- Provided by publisher |
