25. Incorporation of geological uncertainty in pit optimization with geostatistics simulation
Abstract Risk mapping processes in mine planning and ore recovery are constantly used in the mining industry to increase decision making certainty based on the available information. However, it is not possible to predict the risk behavior in all of the project's boundary conditions and small variations in some of these conditions can cause a great impact on

26. EFFECTIVE POWER AND HOURLY FUEL CONSUMPTION DEMANDED BY SET TRACTOR- COFFEE HARVESTER IN FUNCTION OF ADEQUACY TRACTOR BALLASTING
ABSTRACT: The mechanized gathering process of sweeping coffee is extremely important to reduce the losses of fruit not used in the harvesting operation. But this operation usually has a low operational performance and a high cost per unit collected in this way any measures that can effectively reduce costs increase the viability of the operation. In this sen

27. Productive performance and economic evaluation of tilapia stocked in different times of the year
ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine production cycles based on the stocking period and the influence of the cycles on productive performance indices, production costs, and profitability. The present study was carried out on a fish farm located in Palmital - SP, Brazil, which consists of 2706 m3 of net cages with an annual production of 400 tons of tilapia

28. A mixed integer programming approach for freight railcar distribution
Abstract The attendance of the demand for freight transport is related to the process of allocation of the wagons that in turn is associated with the way in which the decision is taken. The distribution of wagons to the shipment terminals depends on the planning as well as on movement of the empty wagons. In addition, the trips of the empty wagons have the m

29. Heat pump for thermal power production in dairy farm
ABSTRACT Besides cold for milk cooling, dairy facilities need to produce hot water for cleaning of tools and equipment. Overall, ohmic heating has been used in dairy farms, increasing power consumption and manufacturing costs. Therefore, as an alternative to reduce power consumption, this paper proposed a water-water heat pumping for simultaneous cold and he

30. Comminution circuits for compact itabirites
Abstract In the beneficiation of compact Itabirites, crushing and grinding account for major operational and capital costs. As such, the study and development of comminution circuits have a fundamental importance for feasibility and optimization of compact Itabirite beneficiation. This work makes a comparison between comminution circuits for compact Itabirit

31. Evaluación De La Influencia De Las Condiciones De Fondo De Pozo En El Deterioro De Un Acero API P110, En Ambientes Simulados Del Proceso De Combustión In Situ, Por Gravimetría Y EIS
ABSTRACT Given the large amount of consumption of oil as an energy source, is resulting in a diminution in the existing world oil, the exploitation of heavy oil emerges as new alternative extraction is left aside because of the difficulties associated to processing. Therefore the in situ combustion process is an extraction method that facilitates production

32. Mine/Mill production planning based on a Geometallurgical Model
Abstract The Pau Branco mine supplies two blast furnaces with iron ore lumps, and currently, charcoal consumption for pig iron production accounts for 47% of the blast furnaces' operational cost. A geometallurgical model is presented to support an economic study considering reserve volumes, product quality, and operational costs based on the metallurgical pe

33. Feasibility project for implementation of conveyor belts in an iron ore mine. Study case: Fabrica Mine in Minas Gerais State, Brazil
Abstract This article objectifies the implementation of a conveyor belt in an iron ore mine. The mine operational costs of the company Vale S.A. have a tendency to increase in coming years. This increase is related to the rising price of labor, fuel, tires, maintenance costs and large transport distances. Meanwhile, environmental impacts also need to be redu

34. Optimizing the Airport Check-In Counter Allocation Problem
Abstract This paper presents a new methodology to optimize the Airport Check-in Counter Allocation Problem. The methodology combines optimization, simulation and adjacent resource scheduling and aims to determine the optimal number, location and schedule of check-in desks to open for departing flights, such that operational costs are minimized and a given se

36. Waste disposal using a spreader and conveyor belt method
Abstract In the search for opportunities to decrease operational costs in iron ore mining, waste disposal by conveyor belt has been considered as an alternative. In this work, this form of waste dump is investigated by means of the construction of a test pile and the assessment of geotechnical characteristics such as shear strength and in situ densities. Res
