Taking the outburst coal bodies in tectonic zones as the research object, combined with DIC and AE monitoring technologies and discrete element simulation, the mechanical response, crack evolution and energy characteristics of coal bodies under different loading rates (impact disturbances) were studied. The results show that both the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus are positively correlated with the loading rate, with a maximum increase in compressive strength of 25.15 %. The uniaxial compressive strength is more sensitive to impact disturbances. The failure modes of coal bodies can be divided into the “slip-crack synchronization (S & C) type” and the “crack-first-then-slip (C & S) type”. The slip in tectonic zones is more severe at high loading rates. At low loading rates, shear cracks dominate (60.01 %), while the proportion of tensile cracks increases significantly (70.52 %) at high loading rates. Additionally, the rate of axial crack growth decreases as the loading rate increases. The peak values of total energy and dissipated energy increase significantly with the loading rate, and the peak energy of the C & S type is greater than that of the S & C type. Energy is preferentially released through the slip of tectonic zones and the propagation of radial cracks.","PeriodicalId":48625,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Science and Technology","volume":"162 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145103411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The established methods rely on tailored flotation experiments, unrealistic flotation conditions, or using external tracers which can be different in density and crystal structure to the mineral(s) of interest. This study presents an approach to utilize naturally occuring suitable tracers to estimate the entrainment component from overall recovery of individual particles by establishing a relationship between their settling velocity coefficient and recovery probability. Recovery probabilities of individual particles are computed using particle-based separation modelling. The approach is demonstrated for a copper ore, where naturally occurring rutile was used as the tracer to determine the entrained component of the overall recovery of chalcopyrite particles. Laboratory flotation experiments revealed that entrainment accounted for up to 6% of the overall recovery probability of fully liberated chalcopyrite particles in the fine size fractions.

Combined with box-counting dimension and variation of box dimension metrics, a cross-scale dynamic warning model for disaster prevention is established. The implementation involves three key phases: First, wavelet denoising and interpolation methods are employed for raw data preprocessing, followed by validation of fractal characteristics. Second, an adaptive window cross-scale fractal dimension method is proposed to calculate the box-counting dimension of gas concentration, enabling effective capture of multi-scale complex features. Finally, dynamic threshold partitioning is achieved through membership functions and the 3<em>σ</em> principle, establishing a graded classification standard for the mine gas disaster (<em>M</em><sub>GD</sub>) index. Validated through engineering applications at Shoushan #1 Coal Mine in Henan Province, the results demonstrate that the adaptive window fractal dimension curve exhibits significantly enhanced fluctuation characteristics compared to fixed window methods, with local feature detection capability improved and warning accuracy reaching 86.9%.

Challenges in accurately identifying and quantifying these superstructures hinder the optimization of pyrrhotite depression in flotation processes. To address this critical issue, synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (S-XRPD) with Rietveld refinement was employed to quantify the distribution of superstructures in the feed and flotation concentrates of a copper–gold ore. To elucidate the mechanisms influencing depression, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to explore the electronic structures and surface reactivity of the pyrrhotite superstructures toward the adsorption of water, oxygen and hydroxyl ions (OH<sup>−</sup>) as dominant species present in the flotation process. S-XRPD analysis revealed that flotation recovery rates of pyrrhotite followed the order of 4C&lt;6C&lt;5C. DFT calculations indicated that the Fe 3d and S 3p orbital band centers exhibited a similar trend relative to the Fermi level with 4C being the closest. The Fe 3d band center suggested that the 4C structure possessed a more reactive surface toward the oxygen reduction reaction, promoting the formation of hydrophilic Fe-OH sites. The S 3p band center order also implied that xanthate on the non-magnetic 5C and 6C surfaces could oxidize to dixanthogen, increasing hydrophobicity and floatability, while 4C formed less hydrophobic metal-xanthate complexes. Adsorption energy and charge transfer analyses of water, hydroxyl ions and molecular oxygen further supported the high reactivity and hydrophilic nature of 4C pyrrhotite. The strong bonding with hydroxyl ions indicated enhanced surface passivation by hydrophilic Fe–OOH complexes, aligning with the experimentally observed flotation order (4C&lt;6C&lt;5C). These findings provide a compelling correlation between experimental flotation results and electronic structure calculations, delivering crucial insights for optimizing flotation processes and improving pyrrhotite depression.

However, understanding of HDR fragmentation mechanism under multi-dimensional percussion remains limited and hinders the corresponding drilling performance. Herein, an innovative true triaxial multi-dimensional percussion device was developed for the study of HDR fragmentation mechanism under in-situ temperature and stress conditions. Multi-dimensional percussion, involving both axial and torsional components, was applied to drilling in granite and carbonatite rocks sampled from the typical HDR target areas. Multi-scale visualization techniques and a whale optimization-variational mode decomposition algorithm were employed to investigate the rock failure patterns and drilling energy characteristics. Results indicated that multi-dimensional percussion enhances brittle-ductile mixed failure in granite, characterized by transgranular, intergranular, and combined fracture patterns that promote rock cracking. In contrast, carbonatite drillhole displays enhanced brittle fragmentation and tortuous failure surface dominated by transgranular fracture pattern. Frequency-domain characteristics of penetration force signals for multi-dimensional percussion, especially the significant dominant frequency, amplitude, and high-frequency dissipation, indicate an increase in net energy for drilling into HDR and intensified rock fragmentation. Further, the effect of impact frequency on rock fragmentation performance was emphasized to maximize drilling efficiency. The optimal regulation schemes between axial and torsional impact frequencies are identified as 15 Hz + 15 Hz for granite and 30 Hz + 15 Hz for carbonatite.
