Relevance
The issue of utilizing resin-forming compounds derived from the coke-chemical waste of JSC “Qarmet” is highly relevant. Large volumes of these wastes are currently stockpiled in dumps that have reached their capacity limits, contaminating surrounding land and air and significantly degrading the environmental situation. Preliminary laboratory studies have demonstrated the possibility of using coke-chemical waste for the production of resin components in binding materials. This will open a new system-forming direction in domestic industrial technology and help address an important environmental problem.
Information for Potential Users
The research results will justify the transition to the use of modern polymer materials at enterprises such as JSC “Qarmet,” LLP “Kazakhmys,” KazZinc, ERG, and others, instead of traditional materials such as wood, concrete, and reinforced concrete. Polymers exhibit superior performance under the aggressive conditions of coal and ore mines, ensuring significant economic efficiency. Implementation of the program will reduce labor intensity and enhance operational safety through the use of reliable and cost-effective systems for the reinforcement and maintenance of mine workings.
Field of Application
The program is aimed at developing a rational technology for conducting mine workings based on the influence on the technogenic state of the host rock mass for mining companies in Kazakhstan — JSC “Qarmet,” LLP “Kazakhmys,” KazZinc, ERG, and others — as well as for mining enterprises in the Central Asian region, Russia, and Ukraine. The approach involves controlled influence on the technogenic state and deformation processes occurring around main, preparatory, and extraction workings in unstable rocks, by altering the mechanical and strength properties of the near-contour rock mass through the installation of artificial structural elements and strengthening solutions, depending on mining and geological conditions. This allows for improved stability of complexly structured rock masses.
