Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underground mining technology, specifically relating to a method for calculating dynamic water level in ore bulk material in caving mining. Background Technology

[0002] Caving mining no longer divides the ore block into stops and pillars, but treats the entire ore block as a single mining unit, mining it according to a specific sequence. During mining, the surrounding rock needs to be forcibly or naturally caved, and the ore is released in direct contact with the overlying rock. Caving mining is a method of ore extraction that manages ground pressure by caving the surrounding rock; that is, while caving the ore, the surrounding rock is forcibly or naturally caved to fill the goaf, thereby controlling and managing ground pressure.

[0003] In both metallic and non-metallic mining, especially in mines using the caving method, during the rainy season, atmospheric precipitation and surface runoff flow into surface subsidence pits and then infiltrate into the caved ore mass. As surface rainwater continues to infiltrate, increasing underground rainfall, it accumulates and remains within the ore mass, filling its pores and creating a water level. This retained rainwater poses a safety hazard to mine production. If a large amount of rainwater remains in the caved ore mass and cannot be drained promptly, it mixes with fine particles like the ore mass to form a flowable mud, which can easily lead to mudslides during ore discharge.

[0004] To understand the water level variation pattern in caving ore, this invention proposes a method for calculating the dynamic water level in ore aggregates from caving mining. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention presents a method for calculating the dynamic water level in ore bulk material during caving mining. This method can calculate the dynamic water level in ore bulk material during caving mining, providing timely guidance for mines to take effective drainage measures, ensuring safe production, preventing water-related accidents during mining, and ultimately guaranteeing the safe and efficient extraction of mineral resources.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a method for calculating the dynamic water level in bulk ore in caving mining, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Calculate the residual rainfall V in the ore bulk. 存 V 存 =V 渗 -V 排 V 渗 =K 渗·S 渗 ,

[0008] Step 2: Calculate the pore volume V in the ore bulk. 孔 V 孔 = (K-1)·V 矿 K = K1·K2, V_ore = 1 / 2(S1+S2)·H;

[0009] Step 3: Calculate the dynamic water level h in the ore bulk: Let V 孔 =V 存 Then H = h, that is, h = 2·V 存 / (K-1)·(S1+S2);

[0010] V 渗 V represents the effective infiltration rainfall in the ore bulk. 排 K represents the dynamic discharge volume of water from the underground mine outlet. 渗 S is the infiltration coefficient of ore bulk. 渗 To achieve effective infiltration area, V 矿 Let S1 be the volume of the ore bulk, K be the ultimate loosening coefficient of the ore bulk, K1 be the primary loosening coefficient of the ore blasting, K2 be the secondary loosening coefficient of the ore blasting, S1 be the area of ​​the underground ore extraction range, S2 be the area of ​​surface deformation and damage, and H be the elevation difference between the surface deformation and damage elevation and the elevation of the underground ore extraction range.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0012] The dynamic water level calculation method in ore bulk proposed in this invention has a simple and clear calculation idea and is easy to calculate. It can realize the dynamic water level calculation in ore bulk in caving mining, understand the water level change law in caving ore bulk, which is conducive to guiding safe production in mines, avoiding the occurrence of mine water hazard accidents, and thus ensuring the safe and efficient mining of mineral resources.

[0048] When the water discharge from the mine outlet V 排 When the water level is 0, the ore outlet is in a critical state where water is just beginning to be discharged. At this time, the amount of rainwater remaining in the ore bulk is the largest and the water level is the highest.
