MINING-ENGINEERING FACULTY
The faculty was established in 1934 and includes 10 departments:
• Electrification of mining enterprises
• Automation and computer technologies
• Mining machines and complexes
• Exploitation of mining equipment
• Mining industrial transport
• Electric engineering
• C h e m i s t r y
• Engineering mechanics
• Department of mine mechanics is dealing with scientific works:
- "Introduction of screw compressors for operation in mine conditions";
- Investigation and development of optimal type-size ventilators of the main ventilation in metro;
- "Investigation of reserves of parameters improvement of exploitation of main ventilation installations of the Urals mines";
- "Improvement of air-distribution components of piston compressors" and the others.
- The main directions of scientific researches;
- "Increase of efficiency of operation of compressor and ventilation installations";
- "Forecast of technical state and reliability of mining equipment";
Models of technical state are developed of complicated electric-mechanical systems of mining production, reserving their reliability at the stages of their designing, manufacturing and operation.
Mineral dressing department has several laboratories:
- crushing;
- grinding;
- analytical;
- workshop with installations for gravitational, magnetic, electric and floatation concentration; baking and briquetting of ores;
- special methods of dressing;
- hydrometallurgical laboratory.
Main directions of scientific activity of the department:
- development of theory of mineral dressing processes;
- development of new concentration machines and installations;
- development of new flowsheets and procedures of mineral dressing;
- development of theory of sampling of concentration products.
