Research on selective sequence of appropriate mining technology for placer titanium mines in Binh Thuan province

Abstract

Binh Thuan province has significant reserves of placer titanium, occupies approximately 92% total reserves of Vietnam. Geological condition of the deposit is quite uncomfortable for mining activities. At present, selection of appropriate mining technology for placer titanium mines in Binh Thuan province is a scientific and practical problem. In this paper, authors researched and developed a selective sequence of appropriate mining technology for placer titanium mines in Binh Thuan province, consists of (1) feasible mining technological schemes, (2) appropriate mining order, (3) possibility of providing water for mine, (4) ensuring slope stability, (5) comfortable alternatives for land rehabilitation and restoration, and (6) high economic effect. With this selective sequence, the appropriate mining technology for placer titanium mines in Binh Thuan province can be selected, and contributes to enhance mining effect, ensures safety and protect environment.
