Abstract:
Modern mining of minerals is becoming an increasingly complicated technological and ecological problem. It can be explained both by worsening of geological conditions of mining and by a specific character of the mining industry, which, in contrast to processing branches of industry, intrudes into one of the principal components of nature, – the Earth's interior.
The only possibility is the use of the Archimedes law for delivery minerals from a mine to the surface by its floating in a motionless medium of a higher density. Besides, the choice of a liquid medium with density intermediate between those of the mineral (e.g., coal) and the waste rock for the realization of such transport process provides a real possibility of combining the delivery of produced coal from a mine to the ground surface with its simultaneous beneficiation.
The product is left to float in a liquid medium, followed to the place destination by rafting.
After complete regeneration, the fluid is returned to the head of the process.
