IZIMyini KANYE NEZINSIMBI

Ezinqubweni zokuzuzisa izimayini kanye nezimbiwa, ezifana nokuhlolwa kwe-ore, ukuhlukaniswa, kanye nokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, izikrini zezimayini ziyimpahla esemqoka. Asetshenziswa kulo lonke ekwelapheni okuhlukahlukene kwemithombo yamaminerali okuhlanganisa amalahle, insimbi yensimbi, insimbi yethusi, igolide, i-lignite, i-zinc, nosawoti, phakathi kokunye. Lezi zikrini ziza ngezinhlobo ezahlukene, ngasinye siklanyelwe ukubhekelela izidingo ezithile zezimboni zezimayini nezokucubungula, ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle nempumelelo ekusebenzeni.

Izikrini zezimayini zisetshenziswa ekuhlukaniseni usayizi wezinhlayiya ze-ore. Le nqubo ibalulekile ezigabeni zokuqala zokumbiwa, lapho insimbi eluhlaza ihlungwa ngokusekelwe kusayizi wezinhlayiyana ukuze kube lula ukucutshungulwa okwengeziwe. Isibonelo, ezimayini zamalahle, izikrini ezidlidlizayo zisetshenziswa kakhulu ukuhlukanisa amalahle ngokosayizi wawo, okubalulekile ekunqumeni ukusetshenziswa kwawo kokuphela, noma ngabe ukuphehla ugesi, ukwenziwa kwe-coke, noma ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zezimboni. Ngokufanayo, ekucutshungulweni kwe-iron ore, izikrini zisiza ekuhlukaniseni i-ore ibe izingxenye ezihlukene zosayizi, ezithuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwezinqubo ezilandelayo ezifana nokucwiliswa kwensimbi noma i-pelletizing.

Endabeni yezinsimbi zethusi negolide, lapho ukukhishwa kwensimbi ehlanzekile kubaluleke kakhulu, izikrini zezimayini zisiza ekuhlanganiseni kokuqala kwe-ore, ukuhlukanisa amaminerali abalulekile ku-ganggue. Lokhu akugcini nje ngokuthuthukisa isivuno sonke kodwa futhi kunciphisa umthwalo ezinqubweni ezansi nomfula njengokugaya nokuntanta. I-Lignite, ilahle ansundu elinomswakama ophezulu, nayo iyazuza ekuhlolweni njengoba isiza ekukhipheni amanzi ensimbi, ngaleyo ndlela kube lula ukuyiphatha nokuhamba.

Imisebenzi yezimayini ye-Zinc kanye nosawoti isebenzisa izikrini kokubili izinjongo zokulinganisa nokuqeda amanzi emzimbeni. Ezimayini ze-zinc, izikrini zihlukanisa i-ore nokungcola, kuyilapho zicutshungulwa usawoti, zisiza ekukhipheni i-brine kanye nomswakama, ziqinisekisa ukukhiqizwa kwamakristalu kasawoti aphezulu. Ukuguquguquka kwezikrini zezimayini kudlulela ekhonweni lazo lokujwayela izakhiwo zempahla ehlukene kanye nezidingo zokucubungula, okuzenza zibe yingxenye ebalulekile yemisebenzi yesimanje yezimayini kanye nokucubungula amaminerali.
