Description

[0002] Metal deposit mining has long been faced with challenges such as poor stability of ore and rock, high risk of surface subsidence, and low resource recovery rate. Although the traditional open stope mining method is suitable for the conditions of stable ore and rock, with the expansion of the mining scale, the exposed area of the mined-out area increases, which easily leads to problems such as ground pressure instability, surface subsidence, and high recovery dilution rate of the ore pillar. Taking the shallow hole mining method as an example, although it has advantages such as small amount of preparation engineering and high flexibility, the long-term non-filling of the mined-out area leads to an increased risk of surrounding rock movement, and the reserved ore pillar is prone to safety accidents due to stress concentration during recovery. In order to control the risk of the mined-out area, the subsequent filling method is gradually popularized, although this method can reduce surface subsidence, the ore room and the ore pillar need to be recovered in steps, which leads to problems such as insufficient strength of the filling body and poor boundary stability during the recovery of the ore pillar, especially when the ore body has a large inclination, the pressure difference between the upper and lower surrounding rocks is significant, and a single ore pillar recovery method easily leads to a rib spalling accident, therefore, a mining method that can safely recover the ore pillar between thin ore bodies is needed.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0027] Reference Figure 1The invention discloses a kind of inter-column shallow hole ore falling two-step ore drawing subsequent filling mining method, comprising the following steps: S101, layout mining preparation engineering.It is specific to excavate transport drift, ventilation shaft, ore drawing chute and connecting roadway in ore body, to form the system framework of ore transport, personnel passage and ventilation.Exemplarily, transport drift is arranged in footwall along the strike of ore body, or can be along the existing roadway of stope and partially brush to adapt to the working range of inter-column of ore body;Ventilation shaft penetrates upper and lower levels and connects return air roadway, and ore drawing chute is vertically distributed at the bottom of inter-column of ore body, to ensure that the ore after blasting can fall into transport level by gravity;The purpose of this step is to establish the basic channel network of mining operation, to provide working space and working conditions for subsequent mining operation.

[0028] S102, layout cutting engineering, to form stoping space.It is specific to excavate cutting drift and cutting uphole at the bottom of inter-column of ore body, to form initial free surface by shallow hole blasting.The exemplarily cutting uphole vertically climbs along the center line of inter-column of ore body, with the same height as inter-column of ore body, and cutting drift horizontally connects the bottom space and ore drawing chute;This process is to create enough working space and guide the flow path of caving ore, to release the stress of ore body by directional blasting, to make subsequent ore falling more easily along the weak plane, to reduce blasting energy consumption and improve ore falling efficiency.

[0029] S103, divide ore pillar into upper and lower ore pillars, stoping lower ore pillar, and filling after ore drawing.It is specific to divide inter-column into two categories according to the difference of ore body inclination and surrounding rock stability, exemplarily, lower ore pillar is preferentially stoped by shallow hole drilling and blasting due to its proximity to transport level and smaller ground pressure.YT-28 drill is used for drilling, with hole depth not exceeding 2 meters, and ore is transported to chute by shovel after micro-differential blasting;This step reduces the overall ground pressure risk by stoping in sequence, and avoids plastic deformation of lower ore pillar due to long-term pressure by preferentially stoping stress concentration area, to ensure the safety of subsequent upper ore pillar stoping.

[0030] It should be noted that the up and down here are not limited to the up and down in the positional relationship, but only as a description of the sequence of mining, so the positional relationship between the upper and lower pillars is not fixed, and the setting of two pillars with different forms will also bring different effects. For example, the top surface of the lower pillar is attached to the bottom surface of the upper pillar. At this time, the lower pillar is usually located near the transportation roadway, and the tectonic stress is smaller, and it is more directly affected by the lower mining. Prior recovery can avoid plastic deformation or instability caused by long-term pressure, reducing the risk of sudden ground pressure activity; the upper pillar is close to the surface or overburden, and the ground pressure concentration degree is high. If the upper part is mined first, it may cause roof subsidence or even surface subsidence; and after filling the lower part, the filling body formed can replace the pillars to support the upper part of the surrounding rock, significantly improving the safety of subsequent operations; at the same time, the lower filling body creates a stable operation platform for subsequent upper recovery, avoiding the problem of roadway deformation and ventilation obstruction caused by untreated goaf, and shortening the preparation period of the stope.

[0031] For example, the side boundary of the lower pillar is attached to the side boundary of the upper pillar. At this time, the spatial relationship between the lower pillar and the upper pillar is relatively left or relatively right, wherein the lower pillar is the weak side of the structure, and the upper pillar is the stable side of the surrounding rock. The upper and lower parts are separately excavated to avoid cross disturbance. When mining, the lower pillar on the weak side of the structure is preferentially mined, thereby preferentially mining the high-stress pillar and reducing the disturbance of the subsequent rock mass. After the lower pillar is mined, the lower pillar is filled to form a support body, and then the upper pillar is mined. The filling body is used to constrain the roof displacement and reduce the disturbance to the rock mass.

[0032] S104, mining the upper pillar. Specifically, after the lower pillar region filling body reaches the designed strength, the same shallow hole mining technology is used to mine the upper pillar. Part of the retaining pillar is reserved to isolate the filling body during mining. After blasting, the ore removal process is consistent with the lower part; this step uses the rigid support formed by the filling body to replace the function of the pillar, controls the movement of the upper surrounding rock through the filling body, avoids roof collapse and surface subsidence, and reduces the exposed area of the goaf through step-by-step mining, thereby optimizing the ground pressure distribution.

[0033] Subsequent filling is carried out throughout the whole process of pillar mining. After each pillar is mined, full-tailings cemented filling is used to avoid the instability of the surrounding rock caused by long-term exposure of the goaf. For example, the bottom 5m filling layer has a cement-sand ratio of 1:4 (cement: tailings), and the upper part has a cement-sand ratio of 1:6, with a slurry concentration of 63-65%, ensuring that the 28-day strength is ≥2.5 MPa. The filling is implemented in multiple layers, with each layer being 1.5-2 meters. The front layer is coagulated before the back layer is stacked to fill the upper layer until the top is reached.

[0034] Traditional open stope method (such as ordinary room and pillar method) is prone to cause roof instability, surface subsidence and resource loss caused by stress concentration of the pillar due to the failure to timely process the mined-out area. In the present scheme, the lower-pillar is mined first and filled to form a support body, and the upper-pillar is mined later, avoiding the exposure of the overall mined-out area, thereby reducing the possibility of surrounding rock instability caused by pillar recovery in high and large mined-out area; the filling body replaces the pillar to bear the roof pressure, thereby reducing the amount of permanent pillar and improving the recovery rate; the mined-out area is closed in time after filling, thereby inhibiting the movement of surrounding rock and avoiding surface subsidence; the pillars are divided according to the position and rock mass stress and mined in sequence, thereby reducing the stress superposition risk of synchronous mining and avoiding the problem of stope collapse caused by uncontrolled ground pressure.

[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 In S103, the pillars are divided into upper-pillar and lower-pillar, the lower-pillar is mined, and in the process of filling after mining, it includes: S1031, the lower-pillar is mined layer by layer from bottom to top, and part of the ore is blasted and mined in shallow holes, and part of the ore is left as a working platform for subsequent mining. Specifically, in this step, the lower-pillar is mined layer by layer from bottom to top, which means that the mining sequence is from the bottom of the ore body to the top of the ore body layer by layer, and the layer height is determined according to the stability of the ore rock and the performance of the rock drilling equipment. Through this layering method, the stage control of ground pressure is realized, thereby avoiding the collapse risk caused by large-area exposure of the roof; the shallow hole blasting method is a blasting technology that realizes rock breaking by drilling and charging and controlling blasting energy, and the holes are arranged in a horizontal or upward parallel manner, and the ore is blasted by using the micro-difference blasting technology, which can accurately control the ore boundary, reduce the damage to the surrounding rock of the upper and lower pillars, and reduce the ore dilution rate; part of the ore is blasted and mined, thereby retaining the remaining ore as a working platform for subsequent mining, so that personnel can safely perform rock drilling, supporting and other operations on the ore pile, and the temporary support of the surrounding rock is formed by temporarily retaining the ore, thereby inhibiting the ground pressure, and the stability of the working face is also ensured, thereby avoiding the exposure of the open stope. By layering mining, the exposure area is limited to reduce the risk of caving; by using the fine parameters of shallow hole blasting, the production of large blocks is reduced, and the ore mining efficiency is improved; the dynamic support system formed by local ore mining and ore retention ensures the safety of the operation, does not need to erect an artificial platform, significantly reduces the supporting cost and time consumption, and solves the problems of roof instability and large block retention in the mining of steeply inclined ore body.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3In S101, the arrangement of the preparation engineering includes: S1011, leaving a top pillar on the top of the ore pillar, and excavating a top pillar connecting passage between the top of the ore pillar and the top of the ore body below the top pillar; in S103, the ore pillar is divided into an upper disc ore pillar and a lower disc ore pillar, the lower disc ore pillar is mined, and in the filling after the ore is mined, S1032, the lower disc ore pillar is mined to one half of the ore pillar elevation, and personnel enter the mine from the short connecting passage in the top pillar connecting passage. Specifically, the top pillar refers to the structural layer of the ore body reserved on the top of the ore pillar, and its core role is to support the overburden pressure through its bearing capacity, avoid the premature collapse of the roof of the mined-out area, and thus maintain the overall stability of the stope, especially for the ore body with medium stability of the ore rock or local broken zone; the top pillar connecting passage is a horizontal tunnel excavated between the top of the ore pillar and the top of the ore body below, which provides a permanent passage for personnel passage, equipment transportation and ventilation path, and optimizes the airflow distribution inside the stope through its horizontal connectivity, and reduces the ventilation dead angle; when the height of the sublevel mining exceeds the safety range of the conventional operation (i.e. one half of the ore pillar elevation), personnel enter the mine by drilling a short connecting passage, wherein the short connecting passage is a vertical or inclined passage temporarily drilled from the bottom plate of the top pillar connecting passage, which directly penetrates the working face of the high sublevel stope, so that the operating personnel can safely reach the operating point without climbing from the bottom of the ore pile, reducing the risk of falling from a high altitude; the drilling uses shallow hole blasting combined with light drilling equipment (such as YT-28 drill), to ensure the flexibility and timeliness of construction. The top pillar as a permanent support structure limits the exposed area of the roof of the mined-out area within the safety threshold, and inhibits the risk of deformation of the surrounding rock; the top pillar connecting passage builds a stable three-dimensional channel network, providing a spatial reference for the drilling of the short connecting passage; and the short connecting passage as a dynamic access point avoids the hidden danger of personnel climbing the ore pile, which not only avoids the high cost of additional temporary platform erection, but also guarantees the process requirement of flexible adjustment of the sublevel height, thereby solving the problem of safe entry and exit of personnel in high-altitude operation in the sublevel mining of steeply inclined ore body.

[0037] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4In S103, the pillar is divided into upper disc pillar and lower disc pillar, the lower disc pillar is mined, and in the filling after the mining, it comprises: S1033, mining the lower disc ore body to the end, and then filling the empty area. Specifically, the segmented concentrated mining refers to that after the completion of the full layer mining of the lower disc pillar, the ore remaining in the stope is not retained as a working platform, but is transported out in one time through a shovel truck or a vibrating ore-drawing machine, and the amount of mining can reach 70%-80% of the total caving ore amount, thereby shortening the mining period, reducing the energy consumption of the equipment frequently entering and leaving the stope, and leaving a working space for the filling of the empty area. The empty area is filled with full tailings cemented filling immediately after the concentrated mining, and the filling slurry concentration is controlled at 63-65%, the bottom 5m height adopts high-strength ratio of 1:4, and the upper part adopts ordinary ratio of 1:6, which can inhibit the displacement of the upper disc surrounding rock through the high-strength filling body at the bottom, and form a uniform support through the upper filling body, thereby creating stable boundary conditions for the subsequent mining of the upper disc pillar.

[0038] The ore retained in the layer mining stage provides temporary support, but long-term retention increases the risk of surrounding rock creep. The segmented concentrated mining quickly empties the stope, shortens the roof exposure time, and reduces the probability of ground pressure appearance. The filling operation follows immediately, uses the high-strength filling body at the bottom to resist the lateral pressure of the upper disc surrounding rock, and controls the roof subsidence amount through the continuous support surface formed by the upper filling body, thereby avoiding the interference of the empty area collapse on the mining of the upper disc pillar. The scheme realizes the improvement of the mining efficiency and the reduction of the interruption problem in the connection between mining and filling caused by the delay of the filling period under the premise of ensuring the safety of mining.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 In S101, the preparation of the mining is arranged, comprising: S1012, excavating an upper disc transportation roadway along the bottom of the upper disc of the ore body; in S104, mining the upper disc pillar, comprising: S1041, leaving part of the pillar near the upper disc transportation roadway at the bottom of the upper disc pillar as a security pillar. Specifically, the upper disc transportation roadway is a horizontal transportation channel excavated along the boundary of the upper disc surrounding rock, which directly connects the upper disc pillar stope and the main transportation system, shortens the ore transfer distance, and optimizes the ventilation path, and is especially suitable for the independent mining stage of the upper disc pillar in the steeply inclined ore body. The security pillar refers to the unmined ore body retained in the area adjacent to the upper disc transportation roadway at the bottom of the upper disc pillar, which resists the lateral pressure of the upper disc surrounding rock through its high-strength rock structure, avoids the roof collapse or side wall convergence deformation of the transportation roadway due to mining stress concentration, and thereby ensures the long-term stability of the transportation channel.

[0040] The upper disc transportation roadway passes through the upper disc boundary of the ore body directly, shortens the ore transportation path, and reduces the energy consumption of the trackless equipment operation; the safety pillar suppresses the displacement of the upper disc surrounding rock within a safety threshold by forming a rigid support body, and blocks the transmission path of the goaf pressure to the upper disc transportation roadway, which not only avoids the production loss caused by the maintenance of the roadway in the traditional method, but also ensures the continuity of the parallel operation of the upper disc pillar stoping and the ore transportation, thereby further improving the comprehensive efficiency of the stope.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 In S101, arranging the preparatory work, comprising: S1013, using the existing out-of-mine roadway at the bottom of the pillar, wherein the upper disc transportation roadway passes through the out-of-mine roadway and is not parallel to the out-of-mine roadway, and the upper disc transportation roadway is arranged at one end of the out-of-mine roadway close to the upper disc pillar; in S104, stoping the upper disc pillar, comprising: S1042, expanding the out-of-mine roadway on one side of the upper disc pillar and forming an upper disc loading chamber. Specifically, using the existing out-of-mine roadway at the bottom of the pillar means directly using the ore transportation channel developed during the stoping of the lower disc pillar, avoiding repeated excavation of new roadways, thereby reducing the amount of preparatory work, and preserving the stress balance state of the surrounding rock of the original roadway; and the upper disc transportation roadway passing through the out-of-mine roadway and not being parallel to the out-of-mine roadway requires the upper disc transportation roadway to pass through the out-of-mine roadway at an oblique angle or vertically, eliminating the planar conflict of the transportation path through non-parallel intersection layout, avoiding equipment traffic interference, and using the natural support structure formed at the intersection to enhance the stability of the roadway roof. When stoping the upper disc pillar, expanding the out-of-mine roadway on one side of the upper disc pillar is to widen the side slope of the out-of-mine roadway close to the upper disc pillar through shallow hole blasting, forming an upper disc loading chamber. The upper disc loading chamber is a rectangular ore loading space constructed at the end of the expanded out-of-mine roadway, which realizes concentrated loading and rapid transfer of ore through the installation of a vibrating ore-drawing machine or a shovel loader loading point.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 In S101, arranging the preparatory work, comprising: S1014, opening the upper disc raise on the surface of the upper disc pillar along the vertical direction of the ore body, so that it is communicated with the bottom out-of-mine roadway, and the upper disc raise is also communicated with the upper-middle section ventilation roadway. Specifically, the upper disc raise is a shaft developed along the vertical direction of the upper disc pillar, and its core role is to build a vertical or inclined downward channel that is attached to the side surface of the upper disc pillar, directly connecting the bottom out-of-mine roadway and the upper-middle section ventilation roadway, and forming independent ventilation and material transportation paths. Through this vertical through design, fresh air flow can enter the raise from the bottom out-of-mine roadway, go up to the stope working face, and then carry the dirty air into the upper-middle section ventilation roadway, and finally be discharged to the ground by the return air system, thereby realizing the ventilation circulation of going down and going up in the steeply inclined ore body stoping, shortening the dust and harmful gas of blasting, and improving the safety of the working environment.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8In S101, the arrangement of the mining preparation engineering comprises: S1015, excavating a lower disc raise along the vertical direction of the ore body on the surface of the lower disc pillar, and the lower disc raise is communicated with the upper disc raise through a top connecting lane, wherein the top connecting lane is arranged at the top of the inter-pillar ore body. Specifically, the lower disc raise is a shaft excavated along the vertical direction of the lower disc pillar, and its core role is to cooperatively build a double-channel system penetrating the pillar with the upper disc raise, and to form a closed ventilation and transportation loop through the top connecting lane, so that the annular ventilation path of the lower disc air inlet and the upper disc air outlet is realized in the stoping of the steeply inclined ore body: the fresh air flow enters from the lower disc raise, is horizontally guided to the upper disc raise through the top connecting lane, and is finally discharged by the air return system, so that the ventilation dead angle is avoided in the stope, the retention time of the contaminated air is further compressed, and the safety of the working environment is improved.

[0044] In the stoping process, the structure solves the problem of long-distance ore block ventilation efficiency decay through spatial symmetry layout: the traditional single raise ventilation mode is prone to air flow short circuit due to increased wind resistance when the ore block is too long, and the parallel design of the lower disc raise and the upper disc raise in the scheme divides the ventilation path into independent air inlet and air return branches, reduces the wind pressure loss, and utilizes the natural pressure difference formed by the ore body inclination to enhance the stability of the air flow. At the same time, the top connecting lane as a horizontal connecting channel not only optimizes the air flow distribution, but also provides a shortcut for equipment transfer: the rock drilling equipment can be lifted to the connecting lane through the lower disc raise, then horizontally transported to the upper disc stope, or enter the bottom ore pass through the upper disc stope in the same path, avoiding the inefficient path of the traditional method which needs to detour the stage lane, thereby shortening the material transfer time.

[0045] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 9 In S101, the arrangement of the mining preparation engineering comprises: S1016, using the existing ore pass at the bottom of the pillar; in S103, the pillar is divided into an upper disc pillar and a lower disc pillar, the lower disc pillar is stoped, and in the filling after ore extraction, S1034, the lower disc ore pass on one side of the lower disc pillar is expanded and brushed, and a lower disc loading chamber is formed; in S104, the upper disc pillar is stoped, and S1042, the upper disc ore pass on one side of the upper disc pillar is expanded and brushed, and an upper disc loading chamber is formed.

[0046] Specifically, using the existing ore pass at the bottom of the pillar means directly using the ore transportation channel developed during the stoping stage of the lower disc pillar, avoiding repeated excavation of new lanes, thereby reducing the amount of mining preparation engineering, and preserving the stress balance state of the surrounding rock of the original lane.

[0047] When the lower-pillar is mined, the out-of-mine roadway on the side of the expanded lower-pillar is widened by shallow-hole blasting to widen the side of the out-of-mine roadway close to the lower-pillar, thereby forming a lower-pillar loading chamber. The lower-pillar loading chamber is a rectangular ore loading space formed at the end of the out-of-mine roadway after the expansion, and the concentrated loading and rapid transfer of the lower-pillar ore is realized by installing a vibrating ore-drawing machine or a shovel loader loading point. Similarly, when the upper-pillar is mined, the out-of-mine roadway on the side of the expanded upper-pillar is formed into an upper-pillar loading chamber using the same technical principle, but the positions of the two chambers must be staggered to avoid the intersection of the transport paths.

[0048] The multiplexed out-of-mine roadway reduces the scope of disturbance of the surrounding rock by reducing the excavation of new roadways, and maintains the stress bearing continuity of the safety pillar. The symmetrical arrangement of the lower-pillar and upper-pillar loading chambers realizes the independent transfer of the lower-pillar and upper-pillar ores through a double-channel transfer mechanism, avoids the cross interference problem of traditional single-lane transportation, improves the ore transfer efficiency, and solves the problems of ore transfer path conflict and low ore loading efficiency in double-pillar mining.

[0049] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 10 After S1034, the out-of-mine roadway on the side of the expanded lower-pillar is expanded, and a lower-pillar loading chamber is formed, the lower-pillar and the upper-pillar are separated, the lower-pillar is mined, and the filling after mining further includes: S1035, temporary support reinforcement is performed in the expanded space. Specifically, the temporary support reinforcement refers to the immediate reinforcement of the chamber roof and side wall formed by expansion using anchor rods combined with metal nets or collapsible supports. The core function is to inhibit the expansion of the loose circle caused by the stress release of the surrounding rock after expansion, to avoid chamber spalling or roof caving, and to ensure the safety of ore loading operations.
