141 results about "Deep sea mining" patented technology

Deep sea mining is a mineral retrieval process that takes place on the ocean floor. Ocean mining sites are usually around large areas of polymetallic nodules or active and extinct hydrothermal vents at 1,400 to 3,700 metres (4,600 to 12,100 ft) below the ocean’s surface. The vents create globular or massive sulfide deposits, which contain valuable metals such as silver, gold, copper, manganese, cobalt, and zinc. The deposits are mined using either hydraulic pumps or bucket systems that take ore to the surface to be processed. As with all mining operations, deep sea mining raises questions about its potential environmental impact. Environmental advocacy groups such as Greenpeace and the Deep sea Mining Campaign have argued that seabed mining should not be permitted in most of the world's oceans because of the potential for damage to deepsea ecosystems and pollution by heavy metal laden plumes.

The invention discloses a deep-sea mining hoisting system coupling motion prediction method and system based on a physical operator and multiple codes, a medium and a product. Firstly, a system high-fidelity dynamic model is established, and multi-working-condition motion response data is acquired as a training set. A trainable second-order dynamic physical operator is introduced into a Transform network, environment working conditions and continuous time are coded into features to be input into an encoder, and a key section bending moment and an equivalent excitation prediction sequence are output. A multi-domain loss function including a time domain error, a frequency domain error, a dynamic residual error and a spatial smooth constraint is designed by calculating a physical consistency residual error and a data residual error. And jointly optimizing model parameters and physical operators to obtain a trained model, and inputting a target working condition to output a prediction result. The method gives consideration to prediction precision and dynamic characteristic description, improves prediction stability and physical interpretability, and is suitable for scenes of design verification, operation monitoring, risk early warning and the like of a deep-sea mining system.
