Underground Mine Design

Principles of underground excavations designs related to metallic, coal and industrial mineral deposits including underground mine layouts, stability of the underground excavations, material handling and drainage control. Underground mine planning and scheduling, equipment selection, and cost estimation.

Rock Mechanics

Determination of the physical properties of rocks, rock mass classification, stress around mine openings, strain and displacement of the rock mass, rock reinforcement and support, stress interaction and subsidence, strata control. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours per week.

Applied Surface Chemistry

Course will provide the background necessary to acquire a basic understanding of surface characterization and surface chemistry principles relevant to adsorption, colloidal stability, electrokinetic behavior and hydrophobicity. Examples and discussion will include how these principles apply directly to multi-disciplinary areas such as separation science, solid/liquid separation, dispersion and environmental remediation.
