Refrigeration and ventilation systems for ultra-deep platinum mining
At present, chilled air from surface is used as the only cooling medium in all the refrigeration systems at Impala Platinum Rustenburg. The deepest project currently in execution is No.17 Shaft which is 1820m deep and which will be cooled by 1300 kg/s (5 kg/s per kt/mnth) of refrigerated air from surface.Introduction. The Witwatersrand Basin is the world's largest gold resource; it has yielded more than one third of all the gold ever produced. 1 Although gold mining gave rise to the city of Johannesburg and formed the foundation of the country's economy for over a century, today it presents one of the largest threats to South African water resources and human Gold mining's toxic legacy: Pollutant transport and accumulation

Mining is the process of extracting useful materials from the earth. Some examples of substances that are mined include coal, gold, or iron ore.Iron . ore is the material from which the metal iron is produced.. The process of mining dates back to prehistoric times.. Prehistoric people first mined flint, which was ideal for tools and quirements for mining activities at Gold Fields Driefontein Mine No.9 Shaft for mining at a depth of almost 4 000 m below surface with virgin rock temperatures of 56°C. The paper describes the early modelling, the logic and the latest philosophies behind the design, including energy saving facilities, and briefly summarisesThe design of cooling systems for mining at a depth of 4000m

IMPORTANT BASICS OF MINE VENTILATION AND COOLING PLANNING
bulk air coolers, central refrigeration systems, etc. The objective of the primary system is to provide air flow to the sections and service zones in sufficient quantity and at appropriate temperatures and quality. Obviously without this provision, the secondary systems will never be able to create acceptable conditions in the workings. SecondaryFrom the Gobi Desert in Central Asia to Bingham Canyon in the southwestern United States to diamond-rich mines in South Africa, the mining industry is one of the largest in the world. Every day 24 hours a day mining operations work to extract the Earth’s most precious minerals and natural resources. Gold, diamonds, Using Compressed Air in the Mining Industry Sullair
