  • Fire and Smoke Spread in Underground Mines
    Site inventory of operational mines– fire and smoke spread in underground mines. Rickard Hansen Studies in Sustainable Technology 2010:01 Mälardalen University Summary This report is part of the research project “Concept for fire and smoke spread prevention in mines”, conducted by a research group at Mälardalen University. The project is aimed at improving fire safety in mines in order to obtain a safer working environment for the people working for the mining companies in Sweden or for visitors in mines open to the public. This report deals with the second step in the project: the site inventory in operational mines. The main purposes of the inventory are: - To get a clear picture of the risks in the different mines. - To get a clear picture of the protective measures of each mine. - Optimize the choice of design fires for each mine. To find out what the present situation was at the operational mines, a site inventory was conducted at the two LKAB mines. The site inventories were conducted through actual visits to the specific sites and through e-mail correspondence with LKAB personnel responsible for the different sections and areas. During the inventories, predefined forms for each type of item were used in order to facilitate the work. The following items were examined: - Combustible materials in general, for example large amounts of wood. - Vehicles - Cables - Fire barriers - Ventilation systems - Extinguishing systems Besides the above items, earlier fires and fire incidents were also examined. As the two LKAB mines are tremendously large with a large amount of equipment etc, only the most common vehicles were listed and examined further.

Aiming to supply high purity critical metals into Europe including lithium, cobalt, vanadium, nickel, copper, manganese and alumina. Focussed on the rapidly growing EU rechargeable battery market principally Lithium Ion Batteries (LiB) and Vanadium REDOX Flow Batteries. Aiming to establish a LiB recycling plant in Sweden and thereafter produce battery chemicals for supply to precursor manufacturers or cell manufacturers in Europe. Advancing a diversified portfolio of battery metals mining projects in the Nordic region to control battery metals feedstock for our own battery chemical production facility. 2 Critical Metals – Northern Sweden & Finland . Skellefteå – home to proposed Northvolt Giga factory, Boliden recycling facility / refinery and proposed Critical Metals LiB recycling facility. Luleå – home to Facebook’s European servers. Malå – home to Critical Metals. White Boxes – Critical Metals Project Pipeline. 3 European Union & Critical Metals – Macro Theme . The European Union (EU) needs between 10 and 20 Lithium Ion Battery (LiB) Giga factories. €20 Bn is required to fund this growth. 1st Giga factory expected to be built in northern Sweden, by Northvolt. EU faces intense global competition for critical metals to supply the Giga factories. Substantially more critical metals need to be sourced from within the EU. LiBs are powering electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary storage devices. EU member countries are now legislating the changeover to EVs . Forecast growth of EVs is massive. Waste generated from end-of-life LiBs will be large and must be recycled. Nordic region already has high EV penetration and advanced waste collection system. 4 Critical Metals – Our Strategy .

Production management includes forecast, control and optimization of the product quality (concentrates and tailings) and metallurgical performance (e.g. recoveries and throughput); and minimization of the environmental impact. Favourable characteristics of an ore body calling for geometallurgical model are high variability, low mineral grades, complex mineralogy and several alternative processing routes or beneficiation methods. Industrial application of geometallurgy is called a geometallurgical program. This study undertook a critical review and evaluation of methods and techniques used in geometallurgical programs. This evaluation aimed at defining how geometallurgical program should be carried out for different kinds of ore bodies.

  • 4. Seismic Moment Tensor
    MASTER'S THESIS Focal Mechanisms and Seismic Moment Tensors of Seismic Events in Kirunavaara Mine (Methodological- and Practical Aspects) Johan Skott 2013 Master of Science in Engineering Technology Civil Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering PREFACE A long journey of studies are about to end. My studies started long ago, in first class the autumn 1995. Ever since then I have been going to school and now I’m about to finish this chapter of my life. It’s a chapter filled with curiosity, hard work, but most of all – joy! This master thesis is the final part of my Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at Luleå University of Technology by the Division of Mining and Geotechnical Engineering. This thesis has been written in cooperation with LKAB in Kiruna and started in the beginning of 2012 and will now be completed almost two years later. I have spent many days and evenings completing this work, still this thesis and my gained knowledge of mining seismicity would not have been what it is today without my two supervisors, Christina Dahnér (LKAB) and especially Savka Dineva (LTU). Thank you! Most of all, I want to thank my family and friends who have supported during this last year of intensive work. Thank you all! Oppdal, December 2013 Johan Skott i ABSTRACT With increasing depth of mining in underground mines, the challenges with problems with rock bursts related to seismic events also increase. Seismic monitoring systems are installed in mines for monitoring of the seismic events and better understanding of the cause for them.

A Python framework for efficient use of pre-computed Green’s functions in seismological and other physical forward and inverse source problems Sebastian Heimann1, Hannes Vasyura-Bathke2, 4, Henriette Sudhaus3, Marius Paul Isken3, 1, Marius Kriegerowski3, 4, Andreas Steinberg3, and Torsten Dahm1,4 1GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany 2Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia 3Institute for Geoscience, University of Kiel, Germany 4Institute for Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Potsdam, Germany Correspondence: Sebastian Heimann ([email protected]) Abstract. The finite physical source problem is usually studied with the concept of volume and time integrals over Green’s functions (GF), representing delta-impulse solutions to the governing partial differential field equations. In seismology, the use of realistic Earth models requires the calculation of numerical or synthetic GFs, as analytical solutions are rarely available. 5 The computation of such synthetic GFs is computationally and operationally demanding. As a consequence, on-the-fly re- calculation of synthetic GFs in each iteration of an optimisation is time-consuming and impractical. Therefore, pre-calculation and efficient storage of synthetic GFs on a dense grid of source to receiver combinations enables efficient look-up and utilisation of GFs in time critical scenarios. We present a Python-based framework and toolkit - Pyrocko-GF- that enables pre-calculation of synthetic GF stores, which are independent of their numerical calculation method and GF transfer function.
