Mining technology
The mining technology (more rarely mining technology called) is the part of the field of technology (or technology ) which, in mining is used. In the mining jargon is also short of Bergtechnik speaking, this term by some as a synonym for the entire mining technology (or even as a collective term beyond), from other only as a term for mining equipment in the narrow sense (as a means of extracting deposits ) is used.
Content
Mining technology includes all technical aspects of mining, i.e. the exploration , development and extraction of raw materials from the earth's crust in civil engineering or in open-cast mining , including the auxiliary technology required for this (such as conveyor technology , ventilation , water drainage , etc.). In a broader sense, the processing of the raw materials obtained is also included.
Mining technology includes all technical aids used in mining, such as systems , machines , devices , tools , vehicles and components , their design, manufacture, use, operation, maintenance, etc. The technical processes, methods and working methods used in mining are also part of mining technology.
The demarcation of mining technology from other, non-technical sub-areas of mining, such as business management (“mining”) or legal (“mining law”) and also the demarcation from the geoscientific fundamentals, is not always to be drawn sharply.
Depending on the application areas, there is strong overlap with other technical disciplines from which the techniques are borrowed or which use similar techniques, for example with
- the engineering for the construction of mining machinery, equipment, vehicles and tools, ...
- the civil engineering (esp. geotechnical engineering , civil engineering and foundation engineering ) for the production and expansion of the mine workings
- of process engineering for raw material processing
