Abstract

Patterns of interrelation between the amber­containing mining mass and vibrohydraulic intensifier were defined with the substantiation of its technological parameters for creating the required density of the medium, which provides for maximal extraction of amber. Existing methods and methods for the extraction of amber were analyzed and a new method for the extraction of amber out of amber­containing sand field was proposed, providing for higher efficiency of its recovery while negative impact on the natural environment is reduced. Laboratory and field studies were carried out on amber­containing sand fields in Rivnensky­Volynsky region with the purpose of improvement of existing technologies of extraction of amber. When carrying out experimental research, we determined the main technological parameters of hydromechanical method of amber extraction and determined the patterns of influence of water and air on the liquefaction of amber­containing sandy media when an array is exposed to the action of a vibrohydraulic intensifier, during which a maximal speed of amber recovery to the surface is achieved. In the process of field research, we implemented the latest technology and achieved maximum extraction of amber in the deposit, which is 90–95 % of the total mass.

Highlights

  • Amber in various countries has its own distinguishing features that set it apart in different parts of the world [1]

  • Canadian researchers conducted the analysis of amber from 11 amber-containing fields of Canada by different chemical methods, which showed that they represented three different classes [2]

  • Performed studies showed how the trade of amber changed depending on the discovery of places of amber containing deposits
