The buoyancy of the minerals market, due to price and demand continually rising, maintains an increased interest for investors in mining. However, it is a sector particularly facing many negative environmental impacts, technical and environmental conditions to which are added the meeting of financial and production goals. Nevertheless in lockstep together, risk management of these extractive activities on environment – in this age where the society’s level of awareness in ecological balance has evolved – continues to fuel discussions and interventions. Therefore, it becomes unavoidable to manage more effectively the environmental factors around mines. This study aims to propose the integration of environmental management (EM) tools based on dynamic simulation (DS) for mining. This research is structured in four main topics: (1) the dynamics of open-pits system, (2) the management of their environmental effects, (3) the EM tools at the disposal of managers and (4) the proposed EM by DS. The results show that the challenges are numerous and the volume of DS approaches in mining is constantly growing, even if only few are directed towards EM. Some approaches of DS in a few open-pits with the proven effectiveness, show a new opportunity to investigate.

建模还是动态模拟:采矿环境管理的工具?*

查看所有笔记由于价格和需求不断上涨,矿产市场的活跃使投资者对采矿的兴趣不断增加。但是,这是一个特别面临许多负面环境影响,技术和环境条件的部门,此外还要实现财务和生产目标。尽管如此,在社会发展生态平衡意识的这个时代,对环境中这些采掘活动的风险管理仍在继续引发讨论和干预。因此,不可避免地要更有效地管理矿山周围的环境因素。这项研究旨在提出基于动态模拟(DS)的采矿环境管理(EM)工具的集成。本研究分为四个主要主题:(1)露天矿系统的动力学;(2)对其环境影响的管理;(3)管理者可以使用的EM工具;以及(4)DS建议的EM。结果表明,即使只有少数几个针对EM的方法,采矿方面的挑战也很多,并且DS方法在采矿中的数量也在不断增长。DS在一些露天矿中的某些方法已证明行之有效,这为研究提供了新的机会。
