Aiming at the problem of stable driving of mining rehicle in the complex terrain of submarine cobalt-rich crusts, a scheme of four-track all-wheel drive travel mechanism for deep-sea mining vehicles and a terrain-adaptive control method were proposed, and a mechanical model of four-track travel was established. A multi-body dynamics simulation model was built based on Recurdyn software. The characteristics of the four-track travel mechanism, such as straight-line travel, climbing, obstacle-crossing and steering, were analyzed, and laboratory tests and marine tests for the travel mechanism were carried out for verification. The results show that the test results are close to the theoretical calculation values, with the calculation error within 10%. The adaptive control method effectively improves the travel effect of the travel mechanism and reduces the deviation of straight-line travel. When the travel speed is 0.051 m/s, the adoption of vehicle body leveling control can improve the travel stability by 2 to 3 times. However, when the travel speed is 0.198 m/s, the control effect is relatively poor. On the whole, as the travel speed increases, the effect of the adaptive control weakens continuously. The research results can provide references for the research and development of travel technologies and equipment in deep-sea complex terrains.
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.
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.
China's iron ore resources are increasingly depleted, and they have difficult to select characteristics such as poor, fine and miscellaneous. The traditional anionic collector has large dosage, complex reagent system and poor activity. In order to solve this problem, the surfactant processed by industrial waste amine (YTDB) was used as cationic collector to study the single mineral flotation test and mineral adsorption mechanism of quartz and hematite. The results show that when dodecylamine (DDA) is used as collector, under the conditions of pH=7 and collector dosage of 20 mg/L, the recovery rate of quartz is 78.36%, and the recovery rate of hematite is 12.57%. At this time, the flotation difference is the largest. When YTDB is used as collector, under the condition of pH=7 and collector dosage of 15 mg/L, the recovery rate of quartz is 91.27%, and the recovery rate of hematite is 12.67%. At this time, the flotation difference is the largest. YTDB is obviously better than DDA in flotation index, and saves the dosage of reagent to a certain extent. By testing the infrared spectrum, surface tension and Zeta potential before and after the interaction of the agent and the mineral, it is found that YTDB adsorbed on the surface of quartz.
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.
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.
To optimize the mechanical strength performance of mine waste rock-tailings cemented backfill, the Box-Behnken design within the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to conduct a three-factor-three-level test. The synergistic effects of waste rock particle size (0 to −5 mm, +5 mm to −10 mm, +10 mm to −15 mm), mass concentration (84%, 86%, 88%), and sand-to-binder ratio (53%, 60%, 67%) on the uniaxial compressive strength of backfill at different curing ages (7 and 28 days) were systematically explored. At the same time, the traditional orthogonal test was introduced to compare the prediction accuracy and efficiency with the RSM. The RSM results reveal that particle size of waste rock predominantly governs the early-stage strength of the backfill, while mass concentration significantly influences the later-stage strength. The synergistic interaction between particle size and mass concentration is the most pronounced, jointly regulating the skeleton stability and interfacial bonding properties of the backfill. After experimental verification, the accuracy (R2) of the backfill strength prediction model obtained based on RSM is 0.994 9 (7 d) and 0.983 7 (28 d), respectively. The corresponding optimal filling material proportion condition are waste rock particle size of +5 mm to −10 mm, mass concentration of 85.5%, and sand-to-binder ratio of 58.6%. The results of the orthogonal experiment indicate that the particle size of waste rock plays a dominant role in the backfill strength in the early and later stages. Research has shown that RSM can effectively analyze the nonlinear coupling relationship of multiple factors, and the prediction accuracy is significantly improved compared to traditional orthogonal experimental methods.
To reveal the energy consumption patterns of irregular ore particles under impact crushing, impact crushing tests were conducted on six types of iron ore with different properties, and the fractal characteristics of irregular iron ore fragmentation were analyzed, as well as the size effect on average particle size of fragments, fractal dimension, and unit absorption energy. Then, the energy consumption model of irregular single particle crushing was established. The results show that the average particle size of fragments, fractal dimension, unit absorption energy all exhibit a power function relationship with initial isosphere diameter under the same impact conditions. As the isosphere diameter of the particles increases, the average particle size of the fragments gradually increases, and the fractal dimension and unit absorption energy gradually decrease. There is an increasing relationship with power function between unit absorption energy and average particle size of fragments. The relationship between the logarithm of unit absorption energy and fractal dimension shows a linear increase. Through the method of ore crushing tests of irregular single ore particle, relationship models of unit crushing energy consumption of irregular iron ore particles changing with the initial size, average particle size of fragments, and fractal dimension were established, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.789, which effectively describes the energy consumption pattern of ore crushing.
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.
