All of the articles in this proceedings volume have been presented at the [2nd International Conference on Resources and Technology (RESAT 2023) and 12th Regional Meeting of the Society of Mining Professors (SOMP)] during [on June 19-20, 2023 and on June 22-23, 2023] in [Ulaanbaatar]. These articles...

Mining companies provide the required materials for the energy transition and green technologies. The question which emissions and waste are generated to produce these technologies attracts growing interest throughout the society. Investors, governments, customers, and other stakeholders have recognized...

Rare earth elements (REE) are considered critical raw materials essential for numerous clean technologies. As the discrepancy, their supply and demand increase globally. It is conceivable to recover REEs from secondary sources in order to close the gap. The coal, fly ash, and bottom ashes are collected...

The Erdenet tailing storage facility (TSF) is one of the largest in the world with a total area of 18.6km2. Over 40 years of history of Erdenet mining, the process tailing has been collected in the tailing dam and now becomes the biggest resource for research. The goal of this research work is to define...

The “Mongolia: Enhancing Resource Management through Institutional Transformation” (MERIT) project, funded by the Government of Canada, aims to strengthen resource management in Mongolia. This is achieved through its technical assistance programs, which focus on building capacity and promoting responsible...

In a broad sense, social license to operate refers to the ongoing acceptance of a company’s or industry’s standard business practices and operating procedures by its employees, stakeholders, and the general public. In Mongolia’s case, obtaining a social license has become just as relevant as on the international...

This study focuses on the environmental issues of mining (related) activities in Mongolia, with a focus on soils in the coal mining areas of Baganuur and Nalaikh. Besides the ecological components (including erosion), also the socio-economic conditions are of importance for the derivation of recommendations...

Fatigue strength is one of the core principles for designing mechanical components. It has been a constant concern for engineers, as mechanical failure occurs due to loading exceeding the fatigue strength. This concern has led to a necessity to develop new approaches to estimate the reliability of mechanical...

In this research, to minimize road dust in the air which has a harmful effect on public health a new filtering device prototype was proposed. The proposed device was designed to be mounted on public buses. The best location of the device on the public bus was found from the airflow dynamic analysis around...

Ulaanbaatar is one of the most polluted cities in the world, especially in wintertime. During the past two decades, several national and internationally funded projects have been put in place to reduce air pollution. One of the implemented projects is the Government of Mongolia has decided to substitute...

At-site peak flow analysis is an important assessment used for estimation of peak flow magnitude in various return periods at a given location. In this paper, peak flow frequency analysis is carried out at Orkhon hydro-station in the Orkhon River of Mongolia based on observed daily flow data between...

This research paper investigates the impact of an 800 kW induction furnace on power quality within a connected power grid. The performance and lifespan of induction furnaces can be negatively affected by harmonic voltages and currents. The degree of harmonic distortion in an induction furnace is influenced...

Soil erosion in Mongolia has intensified, and the general level of soil fertility has decreased. The effects of global warming, and human activities such as grazing pastureland, mining operation, intensification of agriculture, urbanization, and road damage are the main causes of soil cover degradation....

The distribution of permafrost in Mongolia is sporadic and discontinuous, and it varies depending on factors such as location, landscape, and temperature. Furthermore, the soil cover in these regions exhibits diverse patterns and characteristics. The objective of this study was to investigate and analyze...

In recent years, there has been an increasing need to assess the impact of blasting on sensitive receptors such as cultural heritages and nearby communities. The Oyu Tolgoi open pit mine is one such area where blasting is a common practice. As such, it was essential to evaluate the vibrations generated...

In this study, changes of mechanical properties of low carbon steel, which widely used in steel structure, were studied after coating by Wear Resistant High-Chromium White Cast Iron (HCWI). The coating process were carried out by semi-automatic welding method using powder materials with particle size...

Iron sand, a valuable mineral found in placer deposits, is difficult to identify and extract due to the constantly changing nature of beach placer deposits. Traditional visible light cameras mounted on drones are insufficient for identifying specific rocks and minerals. However, hyperspectral cameras...
