An introduction to the Research Institute of Mining Technologies:
In line with the national development goals of the country and the objectives and missions of regional mining companies and Iran’s mining and mineral industries, and considering the research and technology capabilities of Yazd University and other educational, research, and technology centers, the following objectives for this center are proposed. These objectives are also aligned with the anticipated policies outlined in the country's economic, social, and cultural development programs:
- Increase the research contribution to the national gross
domestic product and enhance the quantitative and qualitative research
indicators in the fields of mining engineering technologies, including mining,
mechanics, electrical engineering, materials, and related sciences.
- Transfer, develop, and localize mining technologies, and identify
and manufacture the necessary equipment and components for surface and
underground mining machinery.
- Attract funding and research facilities for the region's
mines (Central Iran Block) and the country in relevant areas.
- Develop knowledge boundaries and train researchers in the
field of mining technologies.
- Provide researchers with access to research equipment and
specialized laboratories and encourage researchers, innovators, and inventors
to implement as many research and technology projects as possible and
commercialize them.
- Transform the research and development offices of
regional mining companies into an approved research group or center of type 2
under the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, managed by Yazd
University.
- Strengthen the connection between knowledge-based
companies and science and technology parks with mines and mining industries.
- Conduct specialized studies on methods and technologies
for extracting strategic elements associated with mineral deposits.
Field of Activity:
In order to make research activities
more practical towards meeting national needs and regional mining complexes,
the main areas of activity of the affiliated research groups of the Research
Center will be as follows, which can be expanded by creating capabilities and
developing activities:
1- Research on innovative exploration,
extraction, and processing methods and tools for minerals and associated
elements;
2- Research on extractive metallurgical
processes;
3- Localization and development of
mechanical technologies in the field of advanced mining equipment and machinery;
4- Localization and development of
electrical and automation technologies in the field of advanced mining
equipment and machinery;
5- Research in the areas of management,
economics, environmental, and safety in mines;
