Development and Validation of Virtual Reality Application in Mining Education

Yutaka ITO, Masato TAKEUCHI, Shuto MIKAMI et al. · 2020 · Journal of MMIJ

Productivity, safety and its improvement is also an integral part of a good mining operation. In recent times, due to constraints on time and cost, it has become increasingly harder to conduct training and safety inductions at mine sites. For the purpose of overcoming these limitations, the use of virtual reality (VR) is proposed for mining education and training. VR has already been introduced in the education and training of miners overseas, and quantitative studies on the effects of using VR for miner's education and training have been made. However, Japan has only one such application

Adhesion Performance of Steel Bars in Recycled Concrete with Nano-materials in Cold Environments

Yuming ZHANG, Xuefeng MEI · 2025 · Medžiagotyra

This work investigated the adhesion performance of recycled concrete with nano-SiO2 and nano-Al2O3 and steel bars in cold environments through freeze‒thaw cycle tests and tensile tests. The results show that the nanomaterials and number of freeze-thaw cycles have no significant effect on the damage morphology of the sample, but the adhesion strength and steel bar slip of the sample are considerably affected by the nanomaterials and number of freeze-thaw cycles. After the addition of the nanomaterials, the adhesion strength increased by 10.4 % (11.2 %), and the steel slip increased, by 17.3 % (

Comparative Study for Selective Lithium Recovery via Chemical Transformations during Incineration and Dynamic Pyrolysis of EV Li-Ion Batteries

Srija Balachandran, Kerstin Forsberg, Tom Lemaître et al. · 2021 · Metals

Selective leaching of Li from spent LIBs thermally pretreated by pyrolysis and incineration between 400 and 700 °C for 30, 60, and 90 min followed by water leaching at high temperature and high L/S ratio was examined. During the thermal pretreatment Li 2 CO 3 and LiF were leached. Along with Li salts, AlF 3 was also found to be leached with an efficiency not higher than 3.5%. The time of thermal pretreatment did not have a significant effect on Li leaching efficiency. The leaching efficiency of Li was higher with a higher L/S ratio. At a higher leaching temperature (80 °C), the leaching of Li
