Integrated assessment of potentially toxic elements in soil of the Kangdian metallogenic province: A two-point machine learning approach.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
The accumulation of potentially toxic elements in soil poses significant risks to ecosystems and human well-being due to their inherent toxicity, widespread presence, and persistence. The Kangdian metallogenic province, famous for its iron-copper dep...

Artificial intelligence-based prediction model for the elemental occurrence form of tailings and mine wastes.

Environmental research
With the advent of the second industrial revolution, mining and metallurgical processes generate large volumes of tailings and mine wastes (TMW), which worsens global environmental pollution. Studying the occurrence of metal and metalloid elements in...

Mapping artisanal and small-scale mines at large scale from space with deep learning.

PloS one
Artisanal and small-scale mines (asm) are on the rise. They represent a crucial source of wealth for numerous communities but are rarely monitored or regulated. The main reason being the unavailability of reliable information on the precise location ...

Comprehensive evaluation of land reclamation schemes in mining areas based on linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy group decision-making.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Schemes to protect the geological environment and reclaim land are core requirements for an application for mining rights and complying with mining regulations. Mining enterprises must be supervised to ensure they fulfill their obligations. To guide ...

Fuzzy Risk-Based Maintenance Strategy with Safety Considerations for the Mining Industry.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Enterprises today are increasingly seeking maintenance management strategies to ensure that their machines run faultlessly. This problem is particularly relevant in the mining sector, due to the demanding working conditions of underground mines and m...

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...
