Fill Technology in Underground Metalliferous Mines by Edward G. Thomas,J. H. Nantel,K. R. Notley Pdf
"The technology of mine fill in underground metalliferous mines encompasses a wide variety of professional fields. Mining engineering - operating, planning, mineral processing, rock mechanics, soil mechanics, environmental engineering, cement technology, Pozzolan chemistry, mineral chemistry, industrial engineering [and] geology. Aspects of each of these fields are contained within this workshop manual. However, the approach adopted in its preparation is overwhelmingly to cater for the requirements of mining personnel responsible initially for mine planning and design and ultimately for mine production. Technical detail is included only to a level as required by such personnel. Mine fill and mining methods employing fill are used in many centres and in many countries around the world. Each particular operation has its own particular set of inherent, evolved and introduced conditions of fill practice. It is not generally recognised just how many aspects of fill practice are, rightly or wrongly, common from one operation to another, and it is one purpose of this manual to highlight such factors of common applicability. Conversely, aspects of fill practice successfully applied in one operation are sometimes lifted in totum and imposed upon another operation, without full analysis of suitability or otherwise. It is therefore a further purpose of this manual to highlight the need to analyze each filling operation separately, to define and describe parameters peculiar to it"--p. 1.1-1.2.
