      ABSTRACT

      Purpose is to substantiate the parameters and factors in terms of which amber can be mined efficiently from sand deposits using hydromechanical method.

      Methods. Laboratory studies and full-scale experiments of amber-bearing sand with 2-50 mm fractions were carried out to substantiate velocity of amber buoying up to the sludge surface. Amber from Klessiv and Volodymyrets deposits were involved. Computer research relied upon Curve Fitting of the software environment Matlab. Analysis of amber particles, buoying up to the surface, relied upon a theory of particle motion within the sand formation, characterizing by motion with resistance of a dry friction type. Methods of mathematical statistics were applied; then dependences were plotted describing the effect of mining parameters on the amber buoying up velocity.

      Findings. The basic parameters of hydromechanical method and parameters, effecting buoying up velocity, and dependence of dimensions as well as weight of the amber fractions have been identified. Dependences of the dominant factor effect on the process of amber buoying up to the surface of sludge-like rock mass have been determined to improve the efficiency of amber mining.

      Originality. Maximum period of the analyzed amber fractions, differing in their diameters, is not longer than 4 minutes. The results of the experimental data as well as computer-based experimental data have helped define that 3rd order polynom with corresponding rational coefficients for various amber fractions, occurring in the sand amber-bearing deposits, is the most adequate to describe the research. It has also been defined that velocity of amber buoying up from amber-bearing sand medium depends upon effect on the process of the dominant factors; and geometry of amber fractions and their weight making it possible to apply a hydromechanical mining method.

      Practical implications. The obtained regularities of hydromechanical mining of sand amber deposits help calculate and select facilities for hydromechanical mining of amber.

      Keywords: hydromechanical mining, deposit, amber fraction, buoying up velocity, density
