LectureProfessional terminology used in mining. explanation of frost, quarry, mine, mountain mass, sewer, horizon, blasting and other fundamental concepts.
4. Mining production and its development stages
LectureThe structure of the production cycle. the sequence of all production stages, starting from exploration, including field opening, development and main operation (production).
5. Mining works and their types
LectureFeatures of mining operations carried out by open (quarry), underground (frost) and combined methods. special extraction technologies from underwater and geochemical (dissolving) methods.
6. History of mining in the territory of azerbaijan
LectureFormation of mining in the territory of azerbaijan in ancient and medieval times (dashkasan, gadabay, karabakh zones). ancient copper, gold and iron production furnaces, historical mining traces.
7. Minerals
LectureClassification of solid, liquid and gaseous minerals. their grouping according to industrial application (fuel, metal ores, non-metallic industrial raw materials) and physical-mechanical properties.
8. Mining methods and separate technological processes
LectureScientific bases of decisive technological processes such as drilling, blasting, loading and transportation (transportation) carried out sequentially during the exploitation of deposits.
9. Preparation operations of ores for beneficiation
LectureAcceptance of the mined mountain mass into the factory, step-by-step crushing, grinding and classification. physical and mechanical preparation works that ensure the effectiveness of enrichment.
10. Methods of beneficiation of ores
LectureBasic beneficiation methods such as gravity, flotation, magnetic and electrical separation. mechanisms of separation of useful (valuable) component from loose rock.
11. The place and role of the mining industry in the country's economy
LectureThe share of the extractive industry in the country's GDP (gross domestic product). the role of the mining complex in the development of the non-oil sector, increasing the export potential and ensuring employment in the regions.
