Improving Hard Rock Fragmentation in Copper Open Pit Mine Sites
The results attained the desired 80% passing size (P 80) of 0.55 m. In 2005, Boliden conducted an optimization study on the fragmentation at its open-cast copper mine, Aitik. The method aimed at optimizing the fragmentation to maximize the bottleneck capacity. Five trial blasts were prepared based on this method.

A new framework for evaluation of rock fragmentation in open …
Rock fragmentation is a complex dynamic process relating to the interaction between rock mass and explosives. For this reason, a mature model has not yet been developed to meet all mining conditions and geological features (Siddiqui et al., 2009).In order to overcome this drawback, the main goal of this paper is to provide a new framework to evaluate and …

Fragmentation in Distributed DBMS
Fragmentation in Distributed DBMS. Fragmentation is a process of dividing the whole or full database into various subtables or sub relations so that data can be stored in different systems. The small pieces of sub relations or subtables are called fragments. These fragments are called logical data units and are stored at various sites.

Varistem says its system "reduces processing costs, with the Varistem achieving up to a 25% increase in fragmentation. Studies also show the Varistem can reduce blast patterns by 10% or greater and achieve the same fragmentation for major savings in drilling and explosive costs." (See IM March 2011).
