In this study, the discrete element method (DEM) was used to investigate the effects of changing the porosity of blasted ring material and caved waste rocks and of changing the ring inclination on material flow in a sublevel cave (SLC) mine. Yade software was used to simulate two-dimensional gravity flow in a longitudinal section of the sublevel while taking into consideration the shape and size distribution of the flowing rock particles. Four simulations were generated with different porosities, and the material flow in the models was compared to each other. The results demonstrate that when ring porosity is increased, dilution decreases, and the height of the extraction zone grows longitudinally. Also, a lower porosity of the blasted ore material in the ring can cause early dilution entry and expansion of the extraction zone towards the caved waste.. Finally, the effect of ring inclination on the material flow and dilution was investigated. The results of these simulations show an increased dilution as the ring inclination increases and a change in the shape of the extraction zone.","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45426629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Near face stockpile (NFS) is a new mining concept which combines the IPCC (in-pit crushing and conveying) method with an in-pit near-face (and near crusher) stockpile. The stockpile decouples the whole mining flow into two weakly related subsystems, which are the mining subsystem and processing subsystem. There are many theoretical advantages in comparison to the traditional open-pit mining method, such as higher tolerance on uncertainties without compromising production, higher equipment utilisation, less operating cost, better blending results, etc. The introduction of NFS, however, requires reconsideration of production planning in open pit mines. In this paper, we developed a mixed integer linear programming model to solve long-term production scheduling problem in open pit mines. To quantitatively measure the performance of the NFS mining method, we implemented the model in a real mining case study and compared the results with the traditional open pit mining method with an out-of-pit crusher. The results reveal that implementing the NFS method can improve the net present value by 9.3% and decrease the plant MWT head grade deviation by 20%.","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47884438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past, many failures of these iron ore mine tailings storage facilities/dams have been reported worldwide in different forms. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the failure modes, mechanisms and possible solutions to enhance the stability and safety of iron ore tailings dams. A comprehensive investigation has been carried out on 16 failure cases of such dams that were reported from 1917 to the current period. Additionally, mineralogy of iron ore tailings has been provided. The analysis of the past failures shows that most failures took place as a result of slope instability, overtopping, liquefaction-related instability, foundation movement and some form of structural failure. It has been found that 31.25% of iron ore mine tailings dams collapsed due to slope instability, 18.75% due to overtopping, 6.25% due to liquefaction-related instabilities, 6.25% due to foundation failure, 6.25% due to erosion, and 6.25% due to structural failure. In 25% of the failure cases, the causes have been unknown. An attempt is also made here to present prevention and remediation measures for avoiding failures and the associated negative environmental impacts in future.","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46989053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anchorage of trees is mainly determined by the architecture of the root systems that drive their mechanical interactions with the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of soil quality and of different planting materials on the architecture and resistance to shear stress of root systems of hybrid poplars four years after they were initially planted. The study was conducted in an open-pit-gold mine. A hybrid poplar plantation was established in 2013 on 33% soil-covered waste rock slopes, using a randomised complete block design, that is, 3 replicated blocks × 3 planting materials × 2 soil qualities. The stability of the hybrid poplars (resistance to uprooting) was evaluated using lateral traction tests. Complete excavations were performed to characterise their coarse root (>4 mm) architecture. Results showed no significant differences between treatments in terms of the maximum resistance force to uprooting, which varied between 7142 and 8989 N. After four growing seasons, no significant effects due to soil quality or planting material were observed in the number of lateral roots, mean root diameter, root biomass, aboveground biomass, and shoot/root ratio.","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41938094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the stress distribution in CPB structure, an integrated model consisting of a cohesive zone model for CPB/rock interface behavior and a multiphysics model for hydrating CPB behavior is developed. The predictability of the proposed model is validated against measurements from laboratory tests and field studies. Thereafter, the validated model is used to investigate the influence of curing time, stope geometry, and field backfilling operation on the spatiotemporal stress development in CPB structure. It has been found that the CPB/rock interface loading is able to reduce the stress levels in CPB by up to 75%, and taking advantage of this phenomenon can significantly reduce the operation cost. Moreover, there exists a critical stope width that governs the extent of stress reduction in CPB. In addition, continuous mining activity in the secondary stope exerts limited impact on the stress redistribution in the primary backfill body. These findings provide practical guidance for the safe design of a CPB structure as well as a more strategic mining plan for the adjacent ore body.","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47746341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
