The invention provides a method for detecting the
porosity of ores in a
dump leaching process, and belongs to the technical field of detection of the
porosity of the ores. The method comprises the following steps: taking a
dump leaching ore body, screening, uniformly mixing, splitting, putting into a
dump leaching column to obtain the volume of a sample subjected to splitting in the dump leaching column, then performing fine
grinding, putting into the dump leaching column to obtain the volume of the sample subjected to fine
grinding in the dump leaching column, and then performing
image analysis on the sample subjected to fine
grinding to obtain the pore volume among sample particles subjected to fine grinding. And finally, converting the three volumes to obtain the
porosity of the heap-leached ore. Through screening treatment, the sample representativeness is effectively improved; the ore before
superfine grinding and after
superfine grinding is introduced into a dump leaching column, the sampling uniformity is controlled, and the accuracy and stability of data are improved through the in-
pile process under the same test column; an
image analysis algorithm is introduced, and meanwhile, a correction coefficient is introduced, so that small pores among particles are precisely measured and calculated. The method is simple in process and convenient to operate, and the ore porosity can be rapidly and accurately measured and calculated.
