The article presents an innovative approach to the geometrization of ore bodies during exploration work based on geophysical and/or core studies in wells for the purpose of areal and thickness delineation of hydrogenetic ore mineralization. The method makes it possible to obtain more accurate contours of ore bodies with a minimal increase in the number of wells constructed for this purpose. The method can be used in planning and conducting exploration work on hydrogenetic deposits. On the example of reservoir-infiltration uranium deposits of the Shu-Sarysu uranium ore province located in South Kazakhstan, shortcomings in the geometrization of ore bodies using the traditional method of placing of geological exploration wells are demonstrated, as well as the shortcomings of the proposed in literature methods of ore geometrization and the main advantages of the proposed innovative approach. The developed method solves a number of significant problems in the subsequent planning and implementation of mining and preparatory work at hydrogenetic deposits, contributes to a significant increase in the accuracy of the geometrization of ore bodies and calculation of reserves, and increases the reliability and investment attractiveness of explored hydrogenetic deposits. This method can also be used to save money by reducing the number of wells being constructed, if used for an inverse problem in order to discharge placement of exploration wells in middle part of ores bodies in hydrogenetic fields with a dense drilling grid.

The agglomerate, as a raw material of blast furnace melting, must have such a set of properties that meets the requirements of the blast furnace process to the maximum extent. The quality of agglomerates is assessed by chemical composition, mechanical and physico-chemical properties A high-quality iron ore raw material for blast furnace melting is considered to be an agglomerate with a high iron content with a minimum content of harmful impurities, uniform in size with a minimum content of classes of more than 40 and less than 5 mm, a narrow range of softening and melting temperatures, having high reducibility and high strength. With the condition of the process of reducibility of dissimilar iron ore materials during agglomeration, it is necessary to consider the basic physico-chemical processes and thermodynamic conditions. The article describes the results of thermodynamic modeling of iron ore materials during the agglomeration process using the HSC Chemistry 5.10 program. Calculations are performed by the Reaction Equation subprogram. During the simulation, zonal technological processes of agglomeration of iron ore components of the charge are taken into account, since each zone corresponds to a certain phase formation due to physico-chemical processes corresponding to their temperature intervals. It is known, as a result implementing all the basic physico-chemical processes of agglomeration of iron ore materials; they should positively affect the quality of the resulting product. As a result, thermodynamic functions were determined in the temperature range of 25-1500°C for chemical reactions occurring in various zones of iron ore materials during the agglomeration process.

The results of studies on the utilization of copper electrorefining solutions, zinc-containing sublimation dusts of pyrometallurgical processing of non-ferrous metal scrap are presented. Zinc-containing sublimation dusts for the regeneration of commercial electrolyte by the neutralization method were used for the first time. Contained in dust, zinc oxide, when dissolved in a sulfuric acid electrolyte, binds sulfate ions of free sulfuric acid and increases the pH of the solution. When the pH of the precipitation of non-ferrous metals is reached, they are precipitated in the form of hydroxides, which makes it possible to return to processing a significant amount of copper, nickel, zinc, lead and tin contained in them. Studies of the material composition of the commercial electrolyte of copper and zinc sublimates for the processing of non-ferrous metal scrap have been carried out. The conditions for purification of the electrolyte by the method of staged neutralization are determined. The first stage of neutralization was carried out with zinc sublimates, the second and third stages with potash. As a result of the first stage of neutralization to pH 4.7, lead was obtained - a tin-containing product that can be processed together with lead-containing copper electrorefining sludge. As a result of the second stage of neutralization with potash to pH 7.1, a precipitate was obtained, after treatment of which in a KOH solution, a precipitate of copper oxide was obtained. As a result of the third stage of neutralization to pH 9.5, a nickel-zinc-containing precipitate was obtained. After treating the precipitate with a KOH solution, a zinc-containing solution and a nickel-containing precipitate were obtained, after calcining which a nickel oxide precipitate was obtained.

In recent years, methods of utilization of lumpy mineral raw materials of chromium production by encapsulation with modified sulfur from substandard grades of oil to obtain sulfur concrete have become increasingly popular. A significant amount of lumpy waste with a low content of Cr2O3 (~ 5-7% w/w) is formed when Kazakhstani chrome raw materials are processed by gravitation methods, and they can only be used as backfill in mine construction or as a component in building and road-building mixtures. Wastes from chromium deposits in Kazakhstan are located in close proximity to oil deposits in the Aktobe region, which are characterized by a high content of sulfur-containing heavy oils, which can be jointly disposed of in the form of sulfur concrete. Composite material - sulfur concrete is produced based on sulfur polymer binder - GreenCrete™ modified sulfur under GOST R 56249-2014. The possibilities of the sulfur-concrete composite formation process for the use of beneficiation tails of 10-160 mm class chromium raw material as inert materials have been studied. The characteristics of the samples obtained during the tests allow us to draw conclusions about the relatively successful encapsulation of chromium production waste in an amount of 15% by weight of the sample with the formation of sulfur concrete of the M400 class, while with a 10% content of materials for enrichment of chromium raw materials, the M500 indicator was achieved.

Based on a brief overview and analysis of global trends and the development of the coal industry, the article examines the causes and factors constraining the provision of conditions for the sustainable development of the industry. It is shown that despite the negative consequences resulting from the burning of coal, it remains the main cheap and widespread source of energy. The current state of the global coal industry is analyzed and ways of solving its further effective development are shown. One of the key solutions for the development of the coal industry is to reduce the environmental burden of harmful gases (SO2, NOx, CO2). A significant reserve for the development of the coal industry could be the involvement of high-calorie low-ash cheap coals. However, this requires the development and implementation of highly efficient, innovative technologies for deep purification of waste gases of TTP from SO2, NOx, CO2. One of such solutions is a new technology of complex deep purification of waste gases of the TTP, providing a high level of utilization of SO2, NOx, CO2 with the production of commercial products.

This article shows research the risks of landslide processes on the territory of Lake Kolsai, as well as the influence of anthropogenic factors on dangerous geological processes. Examples of data processing from LandSat-7,8 satellites using the Google Earth Pro program and images of the territory of Lake Kolsai using unmanned aerial vehicles are shown. The main purpose of this article is to use the analysis of data from previously carried out works to assess the conditions of zones with potentially dangerous development of landslide processes, as well as to give predictive assessments of the risks of DGP in this area. The area of research is the left side of Lake Kolsai in the northern Tien Shan, in the Kolsai Gorge, in the bridge connecting the Kungei and Zailiysky Alatau ridges. At the end of the nineteenth century, a number of major earthquakes occurred in the above-mentioned area, which caused enormous damage to the environment and to the people of the coastal areas. Subsequently, after these earthquakes, dangerous zones with a potential risk of landslide processes were formed in the study area. This article deals mainly with the left side of Lake Kolsai, which changes year after year due to the strong anthropogenic load. For this article, the collected satellite images and photographs from the UAV have been processed, interpreted and the necessary data extracted. The analysis of previously carried out works is made.

The article discusses the study of reservoir fluids and the role of the hydrodynamic environment in the formation and preservation of hydrocarbon deposits within the Bukhara-Khiva oil and gas region. Aboveground water are the primary "transporter" scattered hydrocarbons, in certain geological hydrogeological conditions, they can contribute to their accumulation or destruction. In this regard, the study of the nature of the movement of fluids due to geological and tectonic processes is a necessary condition for assessing the prospects of oil and gas potential in the territories.

The method consists in ensuring the reliability of the planned consumer quality of ores by using non-parametric properties of the variation of unevenness, variability and uncertainty of contents, which predetermine the weighted average value of the average, according to which qualimetrically averaged aggregate and frequency integrity of contents is reproduced. The method is based on the concept of reproducing qualimetrically averaged sets of contents, zonal based on the nature of their distribution and the uniformity of their values, using the qualimetric geoindicator property of the modal concentration of ores. The fundamental difference of the method is in achieving the reliability of the planned average grade - "by areas of qualimetrically averaged grades" instead of the traditional one - "by grouped point samples", in which stabilization of the quality of ores is achieved before mining. Based on the results of qualimetric averaging of grades, qualimetric maps are compiled containing geological zones of high-quality and ordinary ores, and ores with modal grades, and consumer quality calculation blocks. In-situ-experimentally confirmed the feasibility of the minimum limits of deviations of the contents of the initial production coming to the processing and processing processes from the planned ones for the extraction sites, achieved when extracting the reserves of the reproduced sites of ordinary, high-quality, high-quality and near-edge ores. Geological and geometric bases are being created for the modernization of the processes of exploration, calculation, preparation and excavation of reserves, the costs of technical averaging are reduced, and losses of metals in mining waste and processing tailings are eliminated.

The metallogeny of Kazakhstan is considered from the standpoint of the concept of the Earth's crust stepwise development and geotectonogens. Using examples, new regularities are established that significantly complement the well-known scientific and theoretical ideas about metallogeny and the forecast of minerals, which have not previously been given due attention. Currently, for many priority types of minerals, especially those that are city-forming, there is already an acute shortage. Therefore, the replenishment of mineral reserves is an extremely urgent and important task for the country. In solving the problem, the predictive-metallogenic direction of the metallogenic school of Kazakhstan, which was foundet by K.I. Satpaev. We have described new regularities in the formation and distribution of mineral deposits, especially unconventional ones. In selected promising areas, nodes and areas, large-scale integrated forecasting and prospecting and exploration work is proposed. Considering the established patterns, special attention is paid to the ore content of the Precambrian, Volcanogenic belts, Weathering crusts and stratiform mineralization. The role of predictive metallogenic studies of regional, special and local is shown, with an analysis of existing and new materials based on the latest scientific ideas. The use of advanced technologies will make it possible to establish new patterns of the deposit’s development in time and space, to identify new, including non-traditional ore-bearing areas for Kazakhstan.
