  • Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions By Underground Storage in An Abandoned Coal Mine - An Initial Study

    Josef Chovanec, Jaroslav Závada, Tomáš Bouchal, Vladislav Blažek, Kamil Ožana

    This article is a basic study dealing with the issues of underground storage of carbon dioxide generated from different kinds of activities. Carbon dioxide can be stored underground as a free gas; gas dissolved in water, or can be adsorbed in the rock mass and in the remaining seams. The technology for processing and storage of carbon dioxide is known as carbon capture & storage (ccs). The article focuses on the possibility to store co2 underground at the paskov mine in the czech republic.

    The article deals with business environment in the moravia-silesian region, which is very various, dynamic and complex. It is influenced by many factors, which can have positive or negative impacts on corporations. The objective of the article is to determine the structural assistance from the operational programmes in the programming period 2007 – 2013, which can reinforce the factors influencing this business environment, and this way improve the quality of this environment, and to evaluate mutual relationships among the operational programmes and the factors. The article defines these factors, the structural assistance of the european union, finds and analyses their mutual relationships.

    The present article deals with the area of social and health welfare of former and current employees of the abolished, privatized or otherwise affected by reorganization mining enterprises in connection with the decline of uranium, ore and coal mining industry in the country. It describes a thorough analysis of the legislation governing the given area from the start of the decline in mining activity in 1990 to the present. Subsequently, relying on real data from practice, the article shows elaborated overviews of trends in the number of beneficiaries of all kinds of provided mandatory and decline-based social and health reimbursements in the years 2001-2012, including the total cost financed in a form of subsidies from the state budget. The forecast of trends of these monitored indicators, processed by the age of beneficiaries of compensations, type of work and other practice-verifiable data, suggests a sharp reduction in the number of recipients of mandatory compensations in the year 2015, the complete termination of payment of a special health benefit for miners by 2025, compensations of accidents at work, occupational diseases and allotments of coal and wood by the year 2035. The payment of the special benefit to miners, a claim for which occurred after 31 december 1992, will have finished by the year 2040.

  • Geodetic Determining of Stockpile Volume of Mineral Excavated in Open Pit Mine

    Slavomír Labant, Hana Staňková, Roland Weiss

    In the contemporary geodetic practice it is practically a must to use modern geodetic apparatuses and a variety of the cad (computer aided design) software for processing and visualising spatial data. The present paper deals with geodetic surveying of kecerovce open pit mine to determine, for the purpose of mine reopening and commencing with mining of andesite, the volume of non-extracted volumes of andesite. The open pit mine is situated on the foot of slanské vrchy mountain range. Determining of the auxiliary survey control points and the quarry vicinity was performed by gnss technology and rtk method. Detailed surveying of the open pit mine was performed through an electronic total station. by measurements attained spatial data were processed by pertinent proprietary software. Subsequently, the determined spatial coordinated were imported into the graphic-calculating softwares for further processing and visualisation. These graphical-calculating applications make possible not only 3d modelling and visualising of surfaces but also their analysing, especially then determining the volumetric data that represent various aspects necessary to assess as activities within the related branches so possible future development.
