Fuat Tosyalı, Chairman of Tosyalı Holding said in a press statement that ground #investigation and #engineering #designs for the #complex have been completed, and #construction and #assembly will start in the coming days. The statement didn't disclose the #investment numbers but said the first phase will have a total #capacity of 2.7 million tonnes. The complex, to be built by the joint venture #Tosyalı-#SULB company, will cater to the Hot Briquetted Iron (#HBI) requirements in neighbouring #markets and #Europe. According to International Iron Metallics Association Ltd. (IIMA), the principal market for HBI is electric arc furnace (#EAF) steelmaking but HBI is also used a trim coolant in basic oxygen furnace (#BOF) #steelmaking and #blastfurnace #feedstock. The Benghazi project will be equipped with Midrex Technologies, Inc. Flex DRI technology, also deployed in Toysali’s #Algerian #project, which allows substitution of any percentage of #naturalgas feedstock with #hydrogen to enable production of low-carbon steel products. Tosyalı Algérie, which uses #DRI #technology, is Algeria’s largest industrial exporter outside the #oil and #gas #sector and has an annual capacity of 2.5 million tonnes of #long and #flat #products. In January 2024, Tosyalı Holding and Saudi Arabia's National Industrial Development Center (#NIDC) signed an #MOU to set up an integrated #iron and #steel production #facility based on #MIDREX Flex DRI #technology in the #Kingdom. The plant is slated to have Hot Rolled Coil (#HRC) production capacity of 4 million tonnes/year and Cold Rolled Coil (#CRC) production capacity of 1.6 million tonnes/year.

Blasting, an essential process in various industries, holds both promise and peril. Among its hazards lies a particularly menacing threat: 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤! 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 consist of rock fragments that are ejected from the blast site, extending beyond the designated clearance zone, posing risks to personnel, equipment, and nearby structures. This safety zone mandates the area that all personnel and equipment must be evacuated before the blasting. 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 occurs when a blast's explosive force surpasses the rock mass's containment capacity. Factors like poor blast design, improper loading, or unfavorable geological conditions can trigger this. There are some mechanisms that may help you predict and establish the maximum fly rock throw during a blast (Moore and Richards, 2005): • 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐭: Face bursting occurs mainly to reasons such as insufficient burden, overcharging in the zones of weakness or the regions with major geological structures. • 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: When the stemming height to the hole diameter ratio is to small or the collar from the rock is weak, it can be projected in any direction. • 𝐑𝐢𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧): When the stemming height is insufficient or it’s composed from inappropriate material, rifling - the ejection of this stemming material can be produced. This topic will be one of many that we will be discussing on the World Blasting Innovators later this year! So make sure to attend! #flyrock #blasting #wbi

The Chott Ech Chergui region in Algeria is a fascinating area from a geological perspective, marked by diverse lithological units and complex tectonic settings. The region is characterized by significant hydrological features, primarily the extensive salt flats or chotts, which are remnants of ancient lakes and play a crucial role in the area's hydrology. These chotts are seasonally flooded, contributing to a unique hydrological regime influenced by both surface water and groundwater dynamics. Geologically, the Chott Ech Chergui area comprises various stratigraphic units ranging from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic. The lithological diversity includes Jurassic limestone and dolomites, Cretaceous sandstones and marls, and Tertiary continental deposits. The Jurassic formations are predominant in the northern part of the map, while the southern regions are mainly covered by Cretaceous and Tertiary deposits. The tectonics of the region are complex, with the presence of numerous faults and folds indicating significant tectonic activity. The map reveals several fault lines, some of which are major structural features controlling the geological and hydrological framework of the region. These faults have influenced the deposition and erosion patterns, leading to the current landscape. Petrographically, the region is rich in diverse rock types, including carbonate rocks, siliciclastic sediments, and evaporites. The carbonates, mainly limestone and dolomite, are indicative of a marine depositional environment during the Jurassic period. In contrast, the siliciclastic sediments, such as sandstones and shales, suggest fluvial and deltaic environments during the Cretaceous. Mining activities in the Chott Ech Chergui region are limited but potentially significant. The presence of evaporite deposits, particularly gypsum and halite, indicates potential for mining operations focused on these minerals. Additionally, the region may have potential for hydrocarbon exploration, given the geological history and the presence of suitable source and reservoir rocks. The geological history of Chott Ech Chergui spans several geological ages, with Jurassic formations being the oldest, followed by Cretaceous and Tertiary deposits. This stratigraphic sequence provides insights into the paleoenvironmental conditions and the tectonic evolution of the region over millions of years.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱- 𝘁𝗼-𝗔𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆- 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘆 by Raphael Apeaninga, Puneet Kamboj, Mohamad Hejazi; KAPSARC To limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C or 2°C, achieving a #netzero or #nearzero greenhouse gas emission energy system by midcentury is essential. This ambitious #target requires the #decarbonization of #hardtoabate sectors, particularly #transportation and #heavyindustry. This #study employs an integrated #energy-#economic-#climate #assessment model to explore decarbonization #pathways aligned with these temperature goals. The results show that by 2050, residual #emissions from key industrial sectors – such as #chemicals, #fertilizers, #iron and #steel, #aluminum, and #cement – are projected to range from 30.2% to 82.5% of baseline levels under climate #policy scenarios. In transportation, emissions from #aviation and #shipping are expected to remain between 70.2% and 91.2% of baseline levels. The analysis of decarbonization #drivers reveals that #demand-side strategies – such as improving #energyefficiency and #optimizing activity levels – are the main levers for decarbonizing aviation and shipping. On the supply side, technologies such as carbon capture and storage (#CCS) are crucial for reducing emissions in heavy industries, whereas #electrification is key for #decarbonizing #aluminum. This study provides actionable #insights into the #strategies needed to achieve a near-zero or net-zero #energysystem by mid-century, emphasizing the importance of integrating #technological #innovation with strong policy support. This study is a part of the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Partnership (#CAMP) project. The CAMP #project is timely and crucial for #SaudiArabia given the mounting risks associated with #climatechange impacts, the urgency of pushing toward a low-carbon future while maintaining #economic #growth nationally, and the potential economic #ramifications of global #mitigation efforts on the Saudi #energysector and #economy. Against this backdrop, the CAMP project investigates 🔴 the climate conditions in Saudi Arabia, 🔴 the sectoral impacts and the role of adaptation measures, and 🔴 the pathways of the Saudi economy to achieve a low-carbon future or climate neutrality by the midcentury. 🔴 The study will also adopt the circular carbon economy concept in characterizing the Saudi government’s efforts to decarbonize its own economy while meeting its growth aspirations.

Application of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) in Mining - Part 3 : * Processing of minerals and ores : In continuation to my previous two posts on Application of AI in Exploration and Mining Activities , this comes on Processing part as Part - 3 : 3.3 Processing & abandonment: Another focus area with applications for AI-enabled tools is mineral processing. Relatedly, one could consider AI systems for use in color-sorting and in identifying various physical, mineralogical, and chemical properties. Given AI's capability to handle large arrays of data, it emerges as a valuable tool for near-infrared sensor data analysis and waste management. By integrating geologic, hydrologic, and other information on surface environment and characteristics, AI could help in the analysis of impacts and thereby, management of water and land. Tools to improve water management could also ‘greatly increase the efficiency of the comminution process and reduce energy cost, as crushing and grinding are the most energy consuming and least energy efficient parts of the mineral processing cycle’. The use of tools for water and waste management, may thus improve both efficiency and sustainability. 3.3.1 Challenges not yet considered: Turning to non-AI related studies on mining, we find further questions and decisions receiving increasing attention with, as yet, little if any consideration by AI modelers. Among those studies, we mark: timing of the transition from open-pit to underground mining , optimization of long-term production , disposal of wastes from mines ; and finally, environmental impact assessment as a part of the dynamic mining process planning. But what is more importantly is a fast growing number of works on mining practices related to health issues , negative social developments and other consequences. These considerations motivate the next step in our discussion, namely the ethical considerations. 3.3.2. Challenges and ethical considerations of AI implementation in mining: In this context, in our broader search for all types of AI-enabled tools currently used in the mining industry, described above, it is also unsurprising that the tools are focused heavily on operational and investment cost efficiency. Given the resources involved in developing and training AI-enabled tools, those with the most monetary and organizational resources will tend to lead the development. While the incentives for this focus may be corrected as policy environments change and new (operational and other) data are more readily able to be collected, in our research to date. Therefore, many issues that emerge in association with the extraction process are neglected. Here. It is important to note that AI does not necessarily create the ethical dilemmas often outlined in discussions of the impacts of AI, but it has the potential to exacerbate.

📉 The #price rally in the #manganese #ore market is obviously ending. And if suppliers of high-grade raw materials, such as Eramet, can still realise small price increases amid the South32 ore #shortage, suppliers of semi-carbonate raw materials from South Africa are finding it increasingly difficult to do so. In particular, Metis - Metalshub Intelligence Service has learnt that Jupiter Mines Limited, which operates the Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine in the southern part of the Kalahari manganese field in South Africa, left July prices for its product (36.5% Mn) unchanged at $6.3/dmtu CIF China.
