    These diesel-electric with cont actors are pretty cool. When there is overhead power available, they run like a train, If they have to leave the grid for maintenance, to go around a lane blockage or to access remote locations, they switch on diesel generators like a WWII submarine. There's trials of this being done for big rigs on freeways.

      Also, Dual mode buses are a thing. Trolleybus is over 100 year old tech, but before there have never been trolleybuses with diesel and electric in normal service. But now, last 20 years or so, there is some cities across the world who have taken them in use, Seattle had them in the 90's, so they can drive from suburbs with diesel, but when closing the city, connect to the overhead trolleybus cables.

      The driver also indicated in the video that if she's gone for a week it's difficult to know the transportation paths (presumably because the existing paths have been blasted/taken away). It sounds like a fantastic concept, especially on freeways ~ like a video Tom Scott made a few years ago. I don't understand how this could work economically in a dynamic environment like mining.

  • @Ashadow700
    @Ashadow700 ปีที่แล้ว +331

    We're pretty fortunate that our mines are located in areas that have both large rivers and are quite sparsely populated, meaning there is less competition for the hydropower. If either of these were not the case, I don't think running the stone mill on green energy alone would be possible.

    • @kronop8884
      @kronop8884 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Power generated is transmitted from sparsely populated areas by method of power lines to densely populated areas, Sweden has a national power grid.
      This also means that green energy can be generated anywhere, even abroad since the Swedish power grid is connected to continental Europe.

    • @svennoren9047
      @svennoren9047 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      When I studied chemical engineering in high school we went on a trip to this mine!
      The crushed ore is separated by froth flotation. Air is blown through a slurry of ore, and the copper sulfide particles are lifted by the air bubbles and can be skimmed off the surface. That's what's happening at 3:25 in the video. Chemicals used are foaming agents, similar to those used in schampoo.
      The enriched ore is transported to a smelter where it is heated and oxygen blown through the melt. This oxidises the sulfide to sulfur dioxide, and the raw copper metal can be poured off. The raw copper is then purified by electrolysis.
      The main problems with the whole process is catching and handling the sulfur dioxide, and the waste sand from the flotation process that still contains a small amount of copper. (The sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfuric acid, and widely used basic chemical).

    As a swede I'm very proud of my country! I recently saw a documentary about some country in Africa. There you had criminal gangs running the mining industry. They mined coal and could not get off it. It was like an addiction.
    The dictator and the regime took all the money and allowed these criminal gangs to roam free because of rampant corruption. You had many murders every day, polluted air, poverty, so many different problems. Never understood that it was that bad in Africa until I saw this documentary. That's also why I'm proud of my country, beeing one of the strongest democracy's in the world.
    Our mining industry is run by proffesionals, not criminal murderous gangs.
    This is the big reason for our effiecient and prosperous economy! Thanks Sweden for letting me have many opportunities and a nice life growing up here.. ;)

      I am fully aware of the benefits of mining. That is why I am a proponent of it, even though it is never environmentally friendly. It can be extremely harmful, or in model cases, only severely harmful.
      The Boliden mine is a great example where the benefits weighs up for the severe damages done.
      "it is expected that native vegetation (besides trees) will be reestablished within a first few years of restoration activities"
      Native vegetation will be reestablished very quickly, that is correct.
      How long does it take for _all_ native vegetation to reappear?
      Let me illustrate the difficulty at hand:
      An acquintance of mine have been part of a team that discovered 20-ish previously unknown species of dandelion, in an area a few times bigger than the one affected by this particular mine.
      Who will make sure the species yet unknown to science will return to the area?

      no, the product used to concentrate the copper in the blenders is called turpentine, and it is a product extracted from pine trees, the sulfuric acid used is used until it is neutralized into sulfates, which is then buried, rest assured.

      There will always be an impact with mining, but you can strive to minimize the environmental loading. Some countries does not care. Well done Boliden.

    I surprised they don't have cables for when they go down into the pit. Use reverse regenerative braking and could likely repower the "grid" due to the sheer amount of braking necessary to get to the bottom.

      Sounds to complicated for a mine. You would need poles in permanent places which in mining there are no permanent places as all will get mined eventually.

    An open pit strip mine is not environmentaly sound. No matter how green the operation can become, that huge scar is not going to turn back into forest anytime soon.

      Well that far north in Sweden it hardly grows any real forest anyway. It's pretty much just wilderness. I'd rather see a huge open mine there than to destroy fields or forests somewhere else.
      Some place got to take the impact and there is where the ore is.

    That’s how we open up mines ? By blowing up the ground , never new that . And is copper mining like gold mining (I know it’s a dumb question) like the copper isn’t being found like copper bricks? , are we finding like little copper nuggets ? Or is copper in the rocks and you have to process the rocks? Sorry for the dumb question

    @DW do you have a comparison of Swiss mining in Sweden and Swiss mining in the Congo? It appears there's a huge disparity on environmental effects especially water pollution and low crop produce.
