History of Mining Technology

In the beginning, miners used primitive tools for digging. Mining shafts were dug out by hand, and the entire process was very lengthy. Eventually, people began using fire to clear tunnels and reach greater depths at a faster rate. During the 1600s, miners started using explosives to break up large rocks. Motorized mining tools, such as drills, would not be invented for several more years. It wasn’t until the industrial revolution began in the 1700s that miners began improving the explosives they used and developing more advanced mining equipment, such as drills, lifts and steam-powered pumps.

Mining Technology in the Present

In today’s technologically-advanced society, mining techniques are always improving. For example, using surface mining techniques, miners are now able to extract over 85 percent of minerals and 98 percent of metallic ores without digging a shaft or endangering the lives of workers. Newly-developed machines used for grinding and crushing can extract minerals from the earth with less energy than ever before. Miners still use heavy machinery, such as explosives, trucks, drills and bulldozers, especially if they must dig deep into the earth. However, advances in technology have allowed miners to excavate with more accuracy and less harm to the surrounding environment. More efficient machinery can also be used to reduce energy consumption and improve the amount of minerals or metals gleaned from the shaft.The history of mining is rich and complicated. Mining has led to great advancements for society, but the dangers of mining have also resulted in the deaths of many workers. As technology continues to advance, however, mining techniques become even more accurate and efficient. In the future, revolutionary technologies may eliminate the need for hands-on involvement from miners entirely.

The History of Metallurgy

The ultimate cause of much historical, social and cultural change is the gradual accumulation of human knowledge of the environment. Human beings use the materials in their environment, including fire and metals, to meet their needs and increased human knowledge of fire and metals enables human needs to be met in a more efficient manner. Fire and metals have particular properties and human knowledge of those properties increases over time in a particular order. Increasing human knowledge of how to create higher and higher temperatures enables the smelting and melting of a wider range of ores and metals. Those ores and metals that could be smelted and melted at lower temperatures were used before the ores and metals which had higher smelting and melting points. This meant that copper, and its alloy bronze, were used before iron and its alloy steel. Pure metals, like copper and iron, were used before alloys such as, bronze and steel, as the manufacture of alloys is more complicated than the manufacture of pure metals. The simplest knowledge is acquired first and more complex knowledge is acquired later. The order of discovery determines the course of human social and cultural history, as knowledge of new and more efficient means of smelting ores and melting metals, results in new technology, which contributes to the development of new social and ideological systems. This means human social and cultural history, had to follow a particular course, a course that was determined by the properties of the materials in the human environment.
