Raw Material Homogenization Production Plan in Multiple Quarries—Slope Stability Assessment: Cement Raw Material Clay Pit Sample

摘要

Up-to-date solution algorithms, which are used to determine optimum production sequences and ultimate pit limits are discussed. These private solutions for quarries might be inadequate for different mining areas. Optimization solutions that are offered for quarries in raw material preparation process within constraints, which are determined by mixing raw material that were produced from different quarries such as cement production, fall short, instead these are replaced by trial and error methods that are made for main constraints. In this study, production sequence homogenization study for limestone that belongs to a cement factory and clinker production from two clay pits were presented, slope stability assessment was also made. As a result of these studies, a planning process based on production amounts, distances, chemical content of clinker and slope safety constraints was developed.
