A methodology development for predicting the geomechanical situation when mining an ore deposit with steep-dipping layers, taking into account the uncertainty in determining the rock properties, which is a consequence of the rock mass heterogeneity. Methods. The assessment of the open-pit wall stability is based on a combination of numerical simulation of the rock stress-strain state (SSS) and probabilistic analysis. The finite element method is used to determine the changes in the SSS that occur at various stages of mining operations due to design changes in the overall open-pit slope angle. The elastic-plastic model of the medium and the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion are implemented in the codes of the 3D finite element analysis program RS3 (Rocscience). Stochastic simulation is used to assess random risks associated with natural object state variations. Findings. The distribution of maximum shear strains, which localizes the real or potential sliding surfaces in the open-pit wall at various stages of ore mining, has been identified. Based on the Shear Strength Reduction procedure, the open-pit wall Strength Reduction Factor (SRF) has been determined. The probabilities of open-pit wall stability loss, as well as the decrease in the strength reduction factor below the standard level at all stages of the ore body mining, have been revealed. Originality. For the first time, for real mining-geological conditions of a deep ore open pit, the dependence of the strength reduction factor on the overall wall slope angle, which changes during mining of each steep layer, has been determined. For each stage of mining operations, for the first time, the probability of a decrease in the open-pit wall stability below the standard level has been determined based on stochastic simulation. Practical implications. The ratio between the open-pit contour characteristic (overall slope angle) and the probabilistic safety factor is the basis for practical solutions to ensure the efficiency and safety of mining at various stages of friable and hard overburden excavation, ore extraction, as well as for the subsequent optimization of the open-pit design contours.","PeriodicalId":43896,"journal":{"name":"Mining of Mineral Deposits","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41672534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is to solve the scientific problem that the classical diffusion model in columnar coal cores cannot accurately describe the whole process of gas diffusion. Methods. The diffusion-percolation experiments were carried out using the laboratory’s homemade experimental equipment with standard ϕ 50mm×100 mm columnar raw coal cores under different air pressures. Findings. The classical diffusion model was used to fit the experimental data. The experiment has found that the classical diffusion model of the columnar coal core can only partially describe the gas diffusion process. The longer the experimental time, the larger the error between the model and the experiment, and the analysis has found that the apparent diffusion coefficient shows decay changes with time. The dynamic diffusion coefficient concept is then proposed in order to con-struct a radial multi-scale dynamic prominent diffusion-percolation model for columnar coal cores. The theoretical curve of the new model nearly coincides with the experimental curve, and the new model can describe the gas diffusion-percolation process of columnar coal cores more accurately. The multi-scale dynamic diffusion-percolation model covers the classical diffusion model. It explains the mechanism of gas diffusion-percolation in multi-scale pores, i.e., at the beginning of the flow, gas flows out from the large external pores first, from the surface inwards. Over time, the pore size through which gas flows gradually becomes smaller, the diffusion resistance gradually increases, and the apparent diffusion coefficient slowly decreases. Originality. This paper proposes a new multi-scale dynamic diffusion-percolation model to compare the old and new model analysis, as well as carefully studying the mechanism of gas flow in coal. Practical implications. This research has important engineering significance for the accuracy of measuring the gas content of coal seams, as well as predicting coal and gas content.","PeriodicalId":43896,"journal":{"name":"Mining of Mineral Deposits","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46248686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of grinding operations in terms of how mechanical properties (e.g., strength properties and ore texture) affect the Bond Work Index. Methods. The specimens have been collected in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, namely Abu Marwat, Hamash and Al Sadd. As a result, strength parameters such as compressive strength, cohesiveness and hardness have been assessed. Ore texture, mineral content and bonds between tiny fabric units have been examined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and thin section. Findings. This research shows that as the strength properties of the rock increase, the Bond Working Index also increases. Moreover, the results indicate that the level of cohesion of ore minerals with the surrounding tailings, on the one hand, and the variance in the tailing content, on the other hand, play a significant role in the processing operation, given the discrepancy in the Bond Work Index for the six Abu Marawat gold ores of 18.8%. Originality. This research attempts to develop a methodology for assessing the efficiency of grinding operations as a function of rock strength properties and ore texture in relation to the Bond Work Index. Practical implications. Ore texture is one of the most important factors influencing the grinding process. Since grinding consumes a considerable amount of energy, the economic evaluation is based on increasing the grinding efficiency.

The stochastic function integration has been reduced to summation of its ordinates and further transition to a proper boundary. Findings. A mathematical model of a water inflow-drainage system as a stochastic process has been developed in terms of input parameters of a standard operating iron-ore mine. The abovementioned has made it possible to assess realistically, substantiate, and obtain possibilities for a specific production facility as well as for generalization of the results involving determination of stochastic characteristics of drainage process. Originality. For the first time, a mathematical model of drainage from underground levels of iron-ore mines has been developed as a stochastic process. The process characteristics have been identified relying upon randomness of a water pumping technique. In contrast to the available settings, the new model parameters characterize their dispersion. Possibility to obtain complete characteristics of energy consumption has been obtained: for drainage; for water accumulation volume in underground water collectors; for water pumping from the specified mine depths over the specific period as random processes. A number of drainage features have been analyzed and differentiated being determined with the help of nor-mal law of water accumulation velocity in the underground water collectors in iron-ore mines.

The work uses the following research methods: analysis and generalization of previously performed research on the process of heaving the floor in mine roadways; full-scale mining studies, which include instrumental measurements at benchmark stations, rapid measurements, photo-fixation of floor rock cuts in the areas of dinting. Findings. It has been determined that the problem of heaving the floor is relevant for most of the temporary roadways located in the zones of increased stresses, for example, in the zone of longwall face impact, both Ukrainian and foreign coal mines. The conducted full-scale mining studies have revealed that the floor rocks in the zone of increased stresses are in a destroyed state and can be represented as a block-discrete medium. A method for controlling the floor heave in mine roadways has been developed, which is based on the formation of locally strengthened zones of a special shape in the mine roadway floor.
