Goal

The main purpose of studying the discipline "Technological Mineralogy" is to form students' scientific ideas about minerals as components of ores and host rocks, their properties and ways to use these properties in the processes of disintegration and concentration of mineral phases in production conditions.

Objective

The main task of geological and technological mapping is to provide an information base containing the characteristics that determine the course of ore processing processes.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

The discipline helps students to better navigate the quality of ores, the possibilities of extraction and processing, the physico-chemical and physico-mechanical properties of ores are studied in detail, it forms knowledge on the enrichment of ores, which is very important for a specialist working in the mining industry. This discipline allows students, and later specialists in their field, to navigate not only in exploration and search for deposits, but also gives an understanding of the possibility of further use of this raw material and the possibility of its extraction and enrichment - The discipline broadens the student's horizons and provides basic concepts in the field of mineral processing.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

The discipline broadens the student's horizons and makes it possible in the future to understand specialists from other related fields quite well, namely concentrators and metallurgists. - Improve existing and implement advanced research and exploration methods. Be mobile and receptive to the improvement of technology and technology, the use of scientific and technological progress in the field of geology.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

The ability to calculate the composition of minerals

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

Possession of the properties of rocks and the state of the massif in the processes of extraction and processing of solid minerals, as well as in the construction and operation of underground structures (OPK-9); - possession of methods of rational and integrated development of the geological resource potential of the subsurface (PK-2).as a result of mastering the discipline, the student must have the following competencies: - proficiency in analysis methods, knowledge of patterns of behavior and management

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

As a result of studying the discipline, the student must: Possess the skills:  work with polished ore samples;  using special definition tables; works with reference books on mineralogy and methods of studying the material composition of minerals.

Teaching methods

The discipline "Technological mineralogy" belongs to the variable part of the compulsory disciplines of block B1. To master this course, knowledge of "Physics", "Chemistry", "Physical Chemistry" and "Geology" is required. Technological mineralogy is taught as a science developing at the junction of mineralogy and technology in close cooperation between mineralogists and technologists, which ensures the complexity of research at all stages of prospecting, exploration, exploration, and development of deposits, including extraction, enrichment and use of mineral raw materials. Thus, this discipline is the basic one for mastering the subsequent disciplines of specialization and practical training.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Period	Type of task	Total
1 rating	Colloquium	0-100
