Rule-based expert system to assess caving output ratio in top coal caving.

PloS one
Coal mining professionals in coal mining have recognized that the assessment of top coal release rate can not only improve the recovery rate of top coal, but also improve the quality of coal. But the process was often performed using a manual-based o...

Prediction of remaining useful life (RUL) of Komatsu excavator under reliability analysis in the Weibull-frailty model.

PloS one
It is an essential task to estimate the remaining useful life (RUL) of machinery in the mining sector aimed at ensuring the production and the customer's satisfaction. In this study, a conceptual framework was used to determine the RUL under the reli...

Combination of compositional data analysis and machine learning approaches to identify sources and geochemical associations of potentially toxic elements in soil and assess the associated human health risk in a mining city.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Mining activities change the chemical composition of the environment and have negative reflection on people's health and there is no single measure to deal with adverse consequences of mining activities, as each case is specific and needs to be under...

Fuzzy risk prediction of roof fall and rib spalling: based on FFTA-DFCE and risk matrix methods.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The working conditions of underground mining are complex and variable, and roof fall and rib spalling are one of the main types of accidents that can occur. Building an integrated model to evaluate the risk of roof fall and rib spalling is the founda...

A coupled multivariate statistics, geostatistical and machine-learning approach to address soil pollution in a prototypical Hg-mining site in a natural reserve.

Chemosphere
The impact of mining activities on the environment is vast. In this regard, many mines were operating well before the introduction of environmental law. This is particularly true of cinnabar mines, whose activity has declined for decades due to growi...

Application of fuzzy logic tools for the biogeochemical characterisation of (un)contaminated waters from Aljustrel mining area (South Portugal).

Chemosphere
Aljustrel mining area (South Portugal) belongs to the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB). It is classified of high environmental risk due to its large tailings and to the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) affected waters, generated by sulphides' oxidation. Integrating...

Estimating the Causal Impact of Proximity to Gold and Copper Mines on Respiratory Diseases in Chilean Children: An Application of Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation.

International journal of environmental research and public health
In a town located in a desert area of Northern Chile, gold and copper open-pit mining is carried out involving explosive processes. These processes are associated with increased dust exposure, which might affect children's respiratory health. Therefo...

Compound washing remediation and response surface analysis of lead-contaminated soil in mining area by fermentation broth and saponin.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The development of eluent is the key to soil washing remediation, and a compound eluent was constructed using the prepared citric acid fermentation broth and saponin in this study. It displayed a good washing performance for Pb, Cu, Cr, and Cd in red...

Comprehensive studies of hydrogeochemical processes and quality status of groundwater with tools of cluster, grouping analysis, and fuzzy set method using GIS platform: a case study of Dalcheon in Ulsan City, Korea.

Environmental science and pollution research international
This research aimed at developing comprehensive assessments of physicochemical quality of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes at Dalcheon in Ulsan City, Korea. The mean concentration of major ions represented as follows: Ca (94.3 mg/L) >...

Machine learning-assisted source identification and probabilistic ecological-health risk assessment of heavy metal(loid)s in urban park soils.

Scientific reports
The accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in the soils of urban parks in industrial cities has raised global concerns because of their environmental and health impacts. However, traditional deterministic assessments commonly overlook uncertainties...
