The measurement error of the filling batching system is the key factor affecting the quality of the filling body. In order to reveal the effect of the fluctuation in mass fraction and pumping agent dosage caused by the measurement error on the working performance of the filling slurry, based on the cement hydration mechanism and the action principle of the pumping agent, the response surface and variance analysis methods were used to carry out mechanical properties, flow properties and rheological properties tests, and industrial test verification was carried out to determine the optimal mass fraction and pumping agent dosage. The results are concluded as follows. Firstly, when the mass fraction and pumping agent dosage fluctuated within ±1%, the main effect significantly affected the 28 day strength, viscosity, slump, expansion and average viscosity coefficient, and the interaction effect significantly affected the 28 day strength, viscosity and average viscosity coefficient. Secondly, fluctuations in mass fraction and pumping agent dosage can cause changes in the proportion of free water in the filling slurry, thereby affecting the working performance of the filling slurry. Finality, it is suggested that the fluctuation range of the mass fraction of the mine should be kept between 78% and 79%, and the fluctuation range of the pumping agent dosage should be kept between 1% and 2%. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the construction of filling batching systems and the accuracy calibration of batching equipment.
The coarse aggregate backfill has high rigidity, poor toughness, and local energy storage accumulation, which is easy to cause safety problems. The addition of fiber can improve the toughness and ductility of the backfill and enhance its mechanical properties. Using coarse aggregate, waste rock, rod sand and river sand from Longshou Mine of Jinchuan as raw materials, the effect of fiber blending process on uniaxial compressive strength of backfill was studied. Design-Expert software was used to analyze the influences of various factors (slurry mass concentration, fiber volume rate, and cement content) on the early mechanical properties of backfill and optimize the parameters. The nonlinear regression models between the early uniaxial compressive strength value and various factors were established to reveal the interaction effects between different factors, and the cost of filling slurry material after adding fiber was calculated. The results show that the addition of fiber can significantly improve the compressive strength of the backfill. Compared with the blank group without fiber (3.03 MPa), the strength of the backfill in scheme Ⅱ (wet mixing of filling materials firstly, and then adding fibers in three stages) is 4.35 MPa, with an increase of 43.56%, which is the optimal scheme. The significant influencing factors of early mechanical properties of fiber reinforced backfill are ordered as slurry mass concentration > cement content > fiber volume rate. The interaction effect between slurry mass concentration and cement content is the most significant, which verifies the reliability of the regression model. After adding fibers, the cost of filling slurry material only increases by 0.67%−15.6%. On the premise of meeting the strength requirements of the backfill, the content of coarse aggregate and cement can be appropriately reduced, which can also reduce the cost.
Fiber-reinforced wet-mix shotcrete has excellent properties such as deformation resistance and crack resistance. To evaluate the support performance of fiber-reinforced wet-mix shotcrete, a series of tests were conducted, including uniaxial compressive tests, notched beam flexural toughness tests, and disk flexural tests. The test results indicate that, although the addition of fibers slightly reduces the compressive strength of wet-mix shotcrete, the flexural strength and energy absorption capacity have been significantly enhanced. The roadway support test results shows that the compressive strength of the steel fiber wet-mix shotcrete can reach 25 MPa, the thickness of the spray layer is maintained at 100−150 mm, with a minimal rebound and notable support effectiveness.
With the widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in underground mines, the safety issue of mining batteries has become increasingly prominent. The thermal runaway characteristics of large capacity lithium iron phosphate batteries for mining were studied by overcharging tests of 200 Ah LiFePO4/C battery cell and battery module under different overcharging rates (0.5 C, 1 C, 1.5 C). The results show that the thermal runaway behaviors of the lithium iron phosphate batteries are divided into three stages: shell expansion, slow flue gas injection, and violent flue gas injection with subsequent natural cooling. As overcharging rate increases, the overcharged capacity required in each stage gradually decreases. The temperature after thermal runaway of the battery can reach up to more than 400 ℃, and the maximum temperature in the battery module test is significantly higher than that in the battery cell test. High temperature will pose a severe challenge to the safety of underground mines, and corresponding cooling and protective measures need to be taken. The thermal runaway effect of overcharged battery in the battery module does not cause thermal runaway reactions of adjacent batteries. The critical conditions for the thermal runaway chain reaction of mining batteries still need further study.
Dynamic disasters such as rockburst caused by mining disturbance seriously restrict the development and utilization of deep mineral resources. It is of great significance to explore the propagation process of internal cracks in rocks to reveal the rock failure mechanism and disaster warning. Based on this, the spatial-temporal response characteristics of acoustic emission of granite under uniaxial loading were monitored. The single linkage clustering (SLC) method was used to construct the SLC structure of acoustic emission events. By introducing the spatial correlation length of acoustic emission events, the spatial correlation degree between acoustic emission events at different time scales was analyzed. The results show that the three-dimensional localization and energy properties of acoustic emission events can characterize the propagation and damage evolution process of microcracks in granite specimens. As the stress increases, the link length in the SLC structure gradually decreases, and the correlation within the crack cluster increases. The spatial correlation length has experienced three stages of high-level fluctuations, stable fluctuations and sudden increase. When it is close to the fracture of granite, the spatial correlation length increases sharply due to the redistribution and transmission of stress in the sample, which can be used as the early warning point of granite instability. The SLC method provides an effective method for studying the evolution process of rock crack propagation, which can provide a reference for the early warning and prevention of dynamic disasters such as rock burst.
In order to monitor the chlorophyll content of plants quickly and non-destructively, two different microbial reclamation treatments (inoculation group and control group) were set up, and six herbaceous plants (Astragalus adsurgens, Medicago sativa, Leymus chinensis, Agropyron cristatum, Elymus sibiricus, Bromus inermis) were selected according to four kinds of mixed sowing ratios (1∶1, 1∶2, 1∶3, 2∶1). The chlorophyll content and spectral reflectance of Astragalus adsurgens in the test area were measured respectively. Using the original spectrum, the logarithm of the reciprocal of the original spectrum, and the first-order differential, combined with three modeling methods of BP neural network regression, support vector machine (SVM) regression, and random forest (RF) regression, models were established for plant spectral characteristic curves under different treatments. The results show that the inoculation treatment increases the chlorophyll content, and the chlorophyll content is also different under different mixed sowing ratios. Compared with the original spectral curve, the modeling accuracy of the reciprocal logarithm and first order differential of original spectral is improved to varying degrees, and the modeling accuracy of FDR is the best. Under the condition of microbial reclamation, the RF regression model has the highest accuracy. Under the conditions of different planting ratios, the model established by BP neural network regression in the 1∶2 and 1∶3 regions of legumes has high accuracy, while the spectral samples in the 1∶1 and 2∶1 regions are more suitable for using RF regression method.
In view of the characteristics that the soft powder ore rock in the deep mining underground roadway of Jinshandian Mine can not take out the complete sample on site, the direct test of compressive strength of loose soft rock mass by rebound instrument was explored. Taking the powder ore and skarn fracture zone of −425 m and −455 m horizontal tunneling roadway in the east-west mining area of Jinshandian Mine as the research object, the rebound value was tested by rebound instrument. Based on the strength formula of concrete compressive strength detected by rebound instrument in national standards and industry standards, according to the engineering geological characteristics of Jinshandian Mine, the empirical formula was optimized, and the correlation sample of rebound value and compressive strength was constructed. Using mathematical statistics method, two modified empirical formulas for strength measurement of soft powder ore rock in Jinshandian Mine were obtained by regression. The results show that the average rebound value of −425 m horizontal powder ore rock in the east-west mining area is 19.35, and the average compressive strength is 6.58 MPa. The average rebound value of −455 m horizontal soft rock fracture zone in the west mining area is 21.92, and the average compressive strength is 14.994 MPa. The results are basically consistent with the results of the inversion of the soft powder rock roadway based on the convergence value of the roadway in Jinshandian Mine. The research results provide a feasible solution for the situation that was impossible to take samples on site for indoor rock compressive stength test under poor engineering geological conditions in underground engineering.
With the increase of mining depth, open stope mining method is facing greater safety hazards and environmental pressure. Filling mining method, as a safe and green mining technology, has been widely used in mining. Taking a large copper mine as the research object, combined with theoretical analysis and numerical simulation methods, the stope structure parameters of upward layered point pillar filling mining method were optimized, and the effects of stope length, point pillar size and point pillar center spacing on stope stability and mine production capacity were systematically analyzed. The results show that when the stope length is 65 m, the point pillar size is 5 m×5 m, and the point pillar center spacing is 15 m, the stability of the mine stope is high and the production efficiency is the best. The optimization scheme of stope structure parameters can not only effectively guarantee the safe mining of the mine, but also improve the utilization rate of resources, which provides a scientific basis for the application of filling mining technology in similar mines.
The existing object detection algorithms for shaking table concentrate bands have problems such as inability to balance detection accuracy and speed, high computational costs, difficulty in compressing model size, and slow inference speed. To address these problems, a lightweight fusion network for shaking tables (YC-Lightweight Net) object detection algorithm was proposed. The YC-Lightweight Net model firstly used a repetitive visual transformation network to extract features from the images of shaking table sub-banding. Then, by introducing group space convolution, multi-scale efficient cross stage fusion modules, and using skip connections, an efficient and lightweight neck network was designed. Finally, a weight based layer adaptive pruning algorithm was used to compress the model size. The experimental results show that the accuracy, recall, mean average precision, and FPS indicators of the YC-Lightweight Net model are 98.4%, 97.9%, 98.8% and 333 frame/s, respectively. The detection accuracy and speed are significantly better than those of the compared models. The number of parameters, floating-point operations, and model size after pruning are 13.9%, 15.4% and 17.5% of the original model, respectively. The pruning operation greatly reduces the computational complexity and model size of the model. The YC-Lightweight Net model has good detection accuracy and real-time performance, meeting the requirements of industrial equipment for lightweight models in shaking table mineral processing plants. The study can provide a technical support for accurate identification of separation points in mineral bands and intelligent upgrading of the shaking table mineral processing plant equipment.
In the second-step mining of open stoping with subsequent filling mining method, the blasting vibration has significant influence on the stability of the artificial pillar formed after the cement filling in the first-step stope. Based on the background of mining in the transition from open-pit to underground in Sijiaying Iron Mine, a 3D geological model and a numerical calculation model of stope were established by using the FLAC numerical simulation method. And three mining sequences of the second-step stope in the mining panel were studied, including “from one side to the other side” “from the center to both sides” and “from two sides to the center”. When the distance between the blasting hole and the backfill was 1.0 m and 1.5 m respectively, the characteristics of the effect of blasting on the stability of the artificial pillar were obtained, and the strength demand of the backfill body was inverted. The results are concluded as follows. Firstly, when the peak pressure of the blasting load is 15 MPa, with the increase in the distance from the hole to the backfill, the maximum principal stress of the backfill in the first-step stope decreases. The concentrated stress and plastic failure range in the backfill under the “from two sides to the center” mining sequence are the least, which is the most favorable to the stability of the backfill. Secondly, when the mining sequence of the second-step stope is “from two sides to the center”, the longer the distance between the blasting hole and the backfill, the smaller the plastic zone in the backfill, which is more favorable to the stability of the backfill. Meanwhile, the larger the distribution range of the shear plastic zone formed in the two-step mining ore body, the more conducive to the carving of the two-step stope. Thirdly, the strength of cemented backfill prepared by cementing powder and unclassified tailings with a ratio of1:6can meet the stability requirements of artificial pillars.
