    Experimental Study of Dust Emission Intensity from the Surface of the Alluvium Beach
    (IOP Publishing, 2024) Medvedieva, Olha; Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Mormul, Taras; Buketov, Valentyn
    ENG: The paper presents data on the current state of waste storage facilities of mining and processing plants in Kryvyi Rih. They are complex, environmentally hazardous hydraulic structures. When assessing the extent of dust pollution from tailing ponds, it is extremely important to know the intensity of dust emissions from the surface of the alluvium beach. This parameter is the basic one in all prognostic models used to predict environmental pollution. The paper presents the results of experimental studies to determine the wind speed at which the removal of dry dust particles from the surface of the beach of a tailing pond begins, as well as the intensity of dust removal from the surface of the beach for dry sand and wet sand. The experimental studies conducted in the laboratory allowed obtaining data on the intensity of dust emission from the surface of the tailing dump beach. The results obtained by the authors make it possible to more accurately assess the degree of environmental dustiness using predictive models. Тhe data on determining the intensity of dust formation for sand of different moisture content will be useful for determining the effectiveness of dust suppression by supplying water to the beach surface.

    Numerical Analysis of Aerodynamic Regime Near Tailings Storage Facility
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2023) Semenenko, Yevhen; Medvedieva, Olha; Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Rusakova, Tetiana I.; Blyuss, Konstantin
    ENG: Tailings formed during the mining and beneficiation of iron ore are sources of intensive dust generation. In order to assess the intensity of dust formation and determine the effectiveness of methods of its reduction, it is necessary to know the local velocity of the air flow near the various surfaces of the tailings storage facility. For the theoretical solution of this problem, a CFD model was developed, which allows determining the velocity field of the air flow when flowing around the tailings storage facility. The model allows you to obtain the value of the wind speed near the surfaces of the structure and, based on this information, to make a forecast of possible dust formation. The constructed CFD model is based on the use of an aerodynamic model of potential motion. The modeling equation is the Laplace equation for the velocity potential. To build a numerical model, the idea of establishing a solution in time is used, therefore numerical integration of the "unsteady equation" for the velocity potential is carried out. Numerical integration is carried out using the finite-difference method of total approximation. The results of the computational experiment are presented.
