Syamsiyah et al. (2017) analysed the form handling process within Xerox Services to compare different process variants and to deduce actionable insights regarding the most common process behaviours. However, there are some areas of the Service scope that may be characterised by a good, albeit overlooked, potential for PM-enabled …
When iron ore is extracted from a mine, it must undergo several processing stages. Six steps to process iron ore. 1. Screening We recommend that you begin by screening the iron ore to separate fine particles below the crusher's CSS before the crushing stage. A static screen is used to divert the fine particles for crushing.
As of now, China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal (Wang et al., 2014).Although the number of fatalities has steadily decreased year by year, compared with the United States under the same safety performance index, the world's major coal-producing country, there is still a great gap of safety in coal mines between …
Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element very widely distributed throughout the earth's crust [ 1 ]. It is present in varied concentration in almost all types of rocks, natural water including sea water, and living organisms. The average concentration of uranium in the earth's crust is about 2.76 ppm in rocks [ 2 ], less than 1 ...

Process mining can provide valuable insights into user behavior, performance, and security for blockchain applications.In return, process mining benefits from the trustworthiness of blockchain data. One obstacle to realizing these benefits is that blockchain data is inadequate for process mining. This issue has been previously …
The six phases of CRISP-DM include: #1) Business Understanding: In this step, the goals of the businesses are set and the important factors that will help in achieving the goal are discovered. #2) Data Understanding: This step will collect the whole data and populate the data in the tool (if using any tool).
Mineral Processing Guru (Pty) Ltd better known as MPG. is a Level 1, Black-owned mineral processing company specializing in, and not limited to coal Mining business solutions. Founded in January 2017, MPG was established during the grim of the mining industry regression with a vision to bring low-cost services and efficient mineral ...
12.10: Open-Pit Mining. Open-pit mining, or open-cast mining is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or borrow. This form of mining differs from extractive methods that require tunneling into the earth, such as long wall mining. Open-pit mines are used when deposits of ...
Despite that many publications on flexibility, most process mining techniques assume a steady state process. A notable exception is the approach by G¨unther et al. [9]. This approach uses process mining to provide an aggregated overview of all changes happened so far. However, this approach assumes that change
This subsection attempts to introduce some of the concepts that relate to discrete event simulation (DES). This topic on its own is a large one, and complete treatment …
1.1.1 Overview of emissions from coal mining and handling. Methane (CH4) is produced during coalification (the process of coal formation). Only a fraction of this remains trapped under pressure in the coal seam and surrounding rock strata. This trapped methane is released during the mining process when the coal seam is fractured.
Bauxite mining and alumina refining are the upstream operations of primary aluminum production. This review article describes the industrial processes of bauxite mining and …
Obviously, this is often not the case due to the phenomenon known as concept drift. While cases are being handled, the process itself may be changing. This paper presents an approach to analyze such second-order dynamics. The approach has been implemented in ProM and evaluated by analyzing an evolving process.
The system adopted for handling, processing, treating, and disposing of solid waste has a significant impact on the development of successful solid waste management (SWM) systems. ... In other cases, the land has been used as a public park or golf course after performing waste mining (Joseph et al., 2008). 7.
Organisations in asset-intensive domains invest a lot of resources in the management of safety risks [9, 12], as the cost of safety incidents in these domains can be prohibitive.As a part of health and safety management strategies, organisations design safety processes, e.g. Permit to Work systems [].Such processes consist of steps which …

Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone-shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near-surface, nonselective and low-grade zones deposits. It often results in high productivity and requires large capital investments, low operating costs, and good safety conditions. The main …
The process is usually carried out in compliance with applicable standards -e.g. EN 1 [14] and ISO 20332 [20] for cranes or several standards devoted to the surface mining machinery: AS ...
The conventional text mining process cannot effectively identify the different expressions of the accident cause. Therefore, this paper improves the process of text mining, and combines association rule mining and Bayesian network technology to construct an innovative method for identifying coal mine safety risk factors.
According to Zhang et al. (2019), LCA and LCC are the major methods to assess the environmental and economic performance of urban mining. Rocchetti et al. (2013) evaluated the inventory analysis of LCA of a compact hydrometallurgical process in a functional unit handling 100 tonnes of e-waste residues and found high levels of …
Mining coal. Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many U.S. coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, but others are deep underground.Modern mining methods allow U.S. coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour …
