Abstract: Self-heating and spontaneous combustion of sulfide ores often become a catalyst for global catastrophes resulting in significant material, economic and environmental damages. Despite high level of research, the spontaneous combustion problem of sulfides is still challenging not only in Russia, but also abroad. This is due to the difficulties of timely forecasting, containment and elimination of fire sources. In this regard, systematization of technological methods for prevention, containment and elimination of the sulfides fire sources was carried out, and advantages and significant disadvantages of the existing approaches to solution of the mentioned problem were determined. Analysis for the current state of existing methods relating to containment and elimination of fire sources in sulfide ores revealed a distinctive drawback - there is no set of technological solutions to prevent combustion processes.
Keywords: sulfide ore, spontaneous combustion of sulfide ores, oxidation processes, spontaneous combustion sources, fire containment, prevention, elimination, industrial safety, systematization Acknowledgements: The work was done as part of Project No.0138-2014-0001 BBF IPKON RAN (Research Institute of Comprehensive Exploitation of Mineral Resources of RAS).
