  3. 3. Basic terms and concepts of mining

    Lecture

    Professional terminology used in mining. explanation of frost, quarry, mine, mountain mass, sewer, horizon, blasting and other fundamental concepts.

  4. 4. Mining production and its development stages

    Lecture

    The structure of the production cycle. the sequence of all production stages, starting from exploration, including field opening, development and main operation (production).

  5. 5. Mining works and their types

    Lecture

    Features of mining operations carried out by open (quarry), underground (frost) and combined methods. special extraction technologies from underwater and geochemical (dissolving) methods.

  6. 6. History of mining in the territory of azerbaijan

    Lecture

    Formation 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. 7. Minerals

    Lecture

    Classification 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. 8. Mining methods and separate technological processes

    Lecture

    Scientific bases of decisive technological processes such as drilling, blasting, loading and transportation (transportation) carried out sequentially during the exploitation of deposits.

  9. 9. Preparation operations of ores for beneficiation

    Lecture

    Acceptance 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.
