Drilling and blasting operations have been used in civil and mining projects due to lower operational costs and higher efficiencies. During the blasting operation, a huge volume of energy is released, resulting in rock fragmentation (Gokhale, 2010).However, over 85% of blasting energy causes some negative environmental impacts such as fly rock, …Web

A typical surface mine can produce up to 150,000 tons of ore every day. Sometimes whole mountains (or tops of mountains) are removed through surface mining processes. The most predominant surface mining methods used to extract iron ore are open-pit and open-cut methods. These two methods are considered to be the least …Web
