Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining area data processing technology, specifically a method for modeling the distribution pattern of lithium in lithium-rich bauxite. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium, as a key energy storage material in the new energy industry, has significant strategic importance for its resource exploration and development. Lithium-rich bauxite, an important lithium resource, typically exhibits highly spatial heterogeneity in its lithium content distribution, influenced by factors such as ore body genesis, geological structure, rock type, and subsequent weathering. In practical exploration, accurately predicting the spatial distribution of lithium within the ore body is crucial for improving mining efficiency, reducing exploration costs, and optimizing beneficiation schemes.
[0003] Existing methods for predicting lithium content in lithium-rich bauxite deposits mainly include traditional geostatistical methods and spatial interpolation techniques based on single data sources. For example, methods such as Kriging interpolation and inverse distance weighting are used to spatially fit the lithium content at sampling points; or hyperspectral remote sensing data is used to predict surface chemical characteristics. However, these methods have significant limitations: traditional methods often rely on chemical analysis or single geophysical measurement data, failing to fully utilize hyperspectral remote sensing, LiDAR topographic data, and multi-source geophysical information, resulting in limited accuracy in lithium content prediction. Existing methods struggle to effectively handle complex spatial structures and multi-scale heterogeneity within the ore body, and easily overlook the interaction between local high-lithium enrichment areas and macroscopic trends. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for modeling the distribution pattern of lithium in lithium-rich bauxite, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for modeling the lithium distribution pattern in lithium-rich bauxite, comprising the following steps: S1. Collect rock and soil samples from the mining area and perform chemical composition data analysis on lithium content. At the same time, acquire geophysical measurement data, remote sensing hyperspectral data and topographic LiDAR data to form multi-source data. The chemical composition data analysis includes one of ICP-MS, flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence analysis. S2.

Perform principal component analysis on chemical composition data, perform band selection and feature compression on hyperspectral data, perform spatial interpolation and filtering on geophysical measurement data, and extract slope, aspect and topographic curvature features from topographic LiDAR data. S4. Construct a multimodal feature fusion model to fuse various processed features into latent variable representations. The model uses a combination of graph neural networks and attention mechanism networks, and incorporates self-supervised training, latent variable encoding, and adaptive adjustment of feature weights. S5. Spatial lithium content modeling based on latent variables: A hybrid model using 3D convolutional networks and geostatistical methods such as kriging interpolation and semivariogram analysis is adopted. The model uses multi-scale spatial resolution grid modeling to predict the distribution of lithium content at different depths and horizontal spatial locations. S6.

[0006] Preferably, the filtering process includes Gaussian filtering, mean filtering, or wavelet denoising. Preferably, the step S4, which fuses the processed features into a latent variable representation, includes the following steps: S4.1 Graph Structure Construction: Construct a graph structure based on the spatial distribution of the ore body and the location of the sampling points.

S4.2 Multimodal Feature Encoding: Each type of feature is encoded separately. Chemical composition features are compressed using standardization and principal component analysis (PCA). Hyperspectral features are extracted using band selection and convolution to obtain local spectral patterns. Geophysical features are processed using filtering and local spatial interpolation. Topographic features are processed to extract slope, aspect, and curvature information. The processed feature vectors are then mapped to a unified dimensional space. S4.3 Feature Fusion and Latent Variable Generation: Multi-source features mapped to a unified dimensional space are input into a graph neural network or attention mechanism network for fusion. The graph neural network is used to capture the spatial correlation between nodes, and the attention mechanism is used to assign learnable weights to different feature sources. The latent variable representation of each node is generated by multi-layer feature aggregation and residual connection. The latent variable representation contains both local feature information and global spatial relationship information. S4.4, Latent Variable Regularization and Learnable Weight Adjustment: Regularize the representation of latent variables to prevent overfitting or outlier nodes from affecting model stability; S4.5 Output latent variables: The latent variables output by each node are used for subsequent spatial lithium content modeling (such as a hybrid model of 3D convolutional network and geostatistical method), while retaining the weight information of the contribution of each feature source to the latent variables.

Each grid unit corresponds to a set of latent variables of a node. Multi-scale spatial grids include coarse-scale grids to capture macroscopic distribution trends and fine-scale grids to capture details of local high-lithium regions; S5.2, 3D Convolutional Network Modeling: The latent variables of the grid nodes are input into the 3D convolutional network, and multi-scale convolutional kernels are combined to simultaneously capture local micro-distribution features and overall macro-distribution trends; latent variables are processed through multi-layer convolution, batch normalization, activation functions and residual connections to achieve spatial feature aggregation and nonlinear mapping; Output the preliminary lithium content prediction value for each grid node; S5.3, Integration of Geostatistical Methods: Based on the preliminary lithium content prediction value of 3D convolutional network, the spatial distribution is optimized by combining Kriging interpolation method, and the spatial correlation is calculated by semi-variogram analysis to correct the preliminary lithium content prediction value. S5.4 Multi-scale prediction output: Output the final lithium content prediction value for different depth layers and horizontal grid cells to form a three-dimensional spatial distribution grid; generate a lithium content distribution grid based on the final lithium content prediction value and spatial grid information; calculate the prediction uncertainty of each grid node and generate an uncertainty distribution map; generate a feature contribution map based on the latent variable weights or attention weights; project the latent variable spatial values to generate a latent variable heat map.
[0011] Preferably, in step S3, the preliminary lithium content prediction value is fused with the Kriging interpolation result using the minimum variance estimation method, so as to balance the model learning ability and geological constraints. Preferably, the closed-loop iterative training can also dynamically adjust the model weights and sampling strategies through prediction error analysis methods.
