SUBSTANTIATION OF DIRECTIONS OF RATIONAL USE OF SPATIAL TECHNOGENIC RESOURCES OF DEEP QUARRIES
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to solve the scientific and practical problem of the rational use of technogenic resources in open-pit mining as exemplified by deep Muruntau open pit. Overview of the studies in this area is given. Their main results are summarized, and the methods and approaches used are described. The research method used is based on reviewing lines of use and functional purpose of a technogenic mass formation in the course of open-pit mining: rock storage, ensuring work safety, stabilizing production processes, forming structural elements of an open pit. Based on the analysis of applying the method of external and internal dumping while developing deposits of complicated structure, it has been established that the formation of external and internal dumps should be coordinated with the development of mined-out space of open pits. Implementation of the results obtained makes it possible to increase efficiency of deposit development with increasing output of high-saleable products both for domestic and world market and improving mining performance indicators.
