The movement of material with mining truck fleets is a critical factor in reducing emissions. As the industry gradually replaces diesel trucks with more environmentally friendly transportation systems, it is important to analyse new solutions. This paper presents a new type of mining truck fleet called the Battery Trolley system, which is a combination of advanced technologies, including a battery-electric drivetrain, autonomy, trolley assist, and energy recovery systems. Depending on the site-specific differences and technology adoptions, decision-makers have three Battery Trolley system configurations to choose from: dynamic charging, stationary charging, and dual trolley Battery Trolley systems, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the challenges of using Battery Trolley systems is their capacity and productivity. This study uses open-accessible project parameters and databases, with engineering assumptions, to create a mining scenario for both the dynamic charging and stationary charging perspectives. The study provides an equation to evaluate the Battery Trolley system’s mining productivity. Results show an incremental analysis of the Battery Trolley productivity as the trolley power increases from 8 MW to 32 MW in various Battery Trolley configurations. The study compares the Battery Trolley productivity for several open-pit mining applications, including copper, iron, and overburden waste. The results indicate that: (i) trolley power limitations significantly affect the capacity of Battery Trolley systems; (ii) a stationary charging option can achieve higher capacity and productivity than dynamic charging; (iii) Battery Trolley productivity varies in different applications under the given simulation assumptions.KEYWORDS: DecarbonisationBattery TrolleyBattery-electric trucksElectrificationMining capacity and productivity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868253","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}

Although significant research has been conducted on mechanical properties of cemented paste backfill, there are limited studies on curing practices that reflect saturate conditions.

The results indicate that observed dark grey colouration associated with submerged curing is similar to ‘greening effect’ observed in concrete material containing Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag.

Despite the well-known nonlinear behaviour of granular cohesionless materials under a wide range of normal stress or confining pressure, the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model continues to be largely used in geotechnical engineering, due to its simplicity and large availability in numerous commercialised software. Its application requires the input of a key parameter, named Poisson’s ratio. It is however a big challenge as its value changes with axial strain and confining pressure. In this study, the optimal Poisson’s ratio of granular materials for the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model is determined by reproducing the experimental results of stress-strain relationships through numerical modelling with the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model. The results show that the Poisson’s ratio μ0.02, corresponding to the slope of the volumetric strain against axial strain curve at 2% of the peak deviatoric stress can be used in numerical modelling with the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model as long as the granular material does not exhibit dilation behaviour. When the material exhibits dilation behaviour, the Poisson’s ratio μ0.36, corresponding to the slope of the volumetric strain against axial strain curve at 36% of the peak deviatoric stress, seems to be appropriate in numerical modelling with the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model. In addition, the study also shows that the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model can be used to simulate mechanical behaviour of granular material under small strain, but not appropriate under large strain conditions.KEYWORDS: Mohr-Coulomb modelPoisson’s ratiogranular materialscohesionless sandstriaxial compression testnumerical modellingstability and reliability of numerical modelling Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Young Scientist Project of the National Key Research and Development Program of China [No. 2021YFC2900600]; Beijing Nova Program [No. 20220484057]; China Scholarship Council [No. 202010300001]; Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada [RGPIN-2018-06902 and ALLRP 566888-21].","PeriodicalId":49180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Reclamation and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135413713","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}

This paper describes a mathematical model to estimate wet muck entry for long-term planning applications at El Teniente. Three basins of El Teniente were included in the study of wet muck control: North, Centre, and South. Each basin includes mines with different characteristics in each exploitation sector. Consequently, models were built for each of the basins to represent its distinct reality. The models have been embedded in machine-learning software that estimates hazards associated with the extraction process for underground mines. To create the models, several variables – each associated with historical extraction – were investigated, including the extraction ratio and the height of draw, amount of water entering the cave, season of the year, presence of mud in neighbouring drawpoints, sectors closed due to wet muck above, and changes in surface or depressions. This study also includes granular flow variables and lithologies. In addition, fragmentation was included and estimated with a granular flow simulator, and the information was validated and calibrated with data from the El Teniente mine. Results indicate that our classification models can reproduce the wet muck phenomenon with an acceptable precision between 69% and 75% and an average tonnage error per drawpoint of 6%−15%. The approach detailed here to create models could be applied to other mine sites if the necessary data are available.KEYWORDS: Draw controlgeotechnical hazardsmine planning, mudrushunderground miningwet muck AcknowledgmentsThis paper was funded by the CONICYT/PIA Project AFB220002.
