Mongolia possesses substantial fluorspar (CaF2) resources, with over 224 licensed deposits covering more than 61,000 hectares. The country holds strong potential to expand its export capacity by producing value-added products such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) and its downstream derivatives. This study explores...

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) thin films are widely used in modern optical and optoelectronic technologies, including solar cells, sensor displays, and light-emitting diodes. Among the various TCO materials, indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most commonly used. However, due to the increasing scarcity...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a mining-related problem that is causing harm to the natural ecosystem. The AMD originates from oxidized and sulfide ore stockpiles and contains high concentrations of dissolved copper and other contaminants. Therefore, many applications have been taken account into to process...

Mongolia possesses over 3.6 billion metric tons of phosphate resources, predominantly located in Khuvsgul and Zavkhan Provinces. Despite this abundance, the country lacks industrial-scale phosphate beneficiation and fertilizer production, resulting in over 90% import dependency. Current national fertilizer...

This study investigates the characterization and processing of lithium (Li) and rubidium (Rb) ores from a new deposit using multiple analytical techniques. For mineral characterization, Mineral Liberation Analysis-Scanning Electron Microscopy (MLA-SEM), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD), and X-ray Fluorescence...

Leaching investigations using deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been carried out to investigate the feasibility of an ionometallurgical approach to processing copper concentrates. The concentrate under investigation consisted mainly of chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, quartz, molybdenite, and trace amounts...

The transport sector currently accounts for more than 21% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, largely attributable to road traffic. The Paris Agreement is therefore in jeopardy without its decarbonization. Currently, the transition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is the only technology that...

Mongolia is facing increasing environmental threats related to waste management, including insufficient waste collection, limited treatment, and improper disposal. Over the years, the country has seen a dramatic rise in waste generation, posing a serious environmental threat. This study aims to develop...

Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital, experiences severe air pollution during winter months due to small coal- and wood-fired stoves. A research project developed an electrostatic dust precipitator (ESP) for these stoves, which provided insights into particulate matter (PM) reduction potential and composition....

Road traffic accidents along the Nalaikh–Ulaanbaatar road have raised serious concerns regarding the adequacy of existing safety measures, particularly the effectiveness of safety railings. This research investigates the structural integrity and performance of these railings with the aim of enhancing...

The rational use of energy is crucial to industrial companies especially when energy prices are rising and the necessity for green energy is increasing. In order to improve energy efficiency, companies need to compare their energy efficiency with others to see whether their own performance is better...

This study offers a comprehensive overview of a range of mathematical methods designed to address uncertainties in engineering calculations and assesses their suitability. The focus is on fuzzy set theory, which has proven to be particularly effective and offers a robust solution package for modelling...

Squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used in industry for their durability, simplicity, and cost-efficiency. However, frequent start-stop cycles, overloads, and aging can lead to mechanical and electrical faults, reducing efficiency, causing unplanned downtime, and increasing maintenance costs....

Efficient and safe heating is essential for maintaining thermal comfort and reducing indoor air pollution in traditional Mongolian gers, particularly during the heating season. This study presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation of thermal performance in various stove geometries commonly...

The transition to globally recognized sustainability standards in mining presents both an opportunity and a challenge for resource economies. This paper explores the implementation of the “Towards Sustainable Mining” (TSM) standard in Mongolia through a case study of Mongolian Mining Corporation (MMC...

This study presents a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of wildfire patterns across Mongolia from January 2005 to December 2024 using satellite imagery, covering a 20-year period of observed data. The study reveals characteristics of wildfire frequency, distribution, and trends at national and provincial...

This study applies Nighttime Light (NTL) data in conjunction with socioeconomic and environmental parameters to investigate two contrasting sites in Mongolia: the urban area of Ulaanbaatar and the Energy Resources LLC (ER) open-pit coking coal mine site. The primary objective is to assess the extent...

Growing concerns about climate change, global warming, water scarcity and pollution have intensified the search for sustainable water treatment technologies. Among the most pressing challenges is heavy metal contamination, which poses severe risks to ecosystems and human health. This literature review...

Rapid urban expansion, poor waste management practices, and a reliance on coal-based energy sources have contributed significantly to soil pollution in Mongolia’s urban ger districts. This study investigates the environmental risks posed by ash disposal from household coal burning in the Nalaikh district...

The indicator bacteria and pathogenic bacteria Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. were tested in the laboratory with two different methods, the Petri-dish method, and the IDEXX tray method. The findings of this study reveal concerning levels of bacterial pollution in the Selbe River, illustrating the...
