    Many practical production problems in mining engineering can be generally summarized as the transmission problems in porous media. Due to wide distribution of porous media, it is of great practical and scientific value to study the flow, heat transfer and chemical reaction of porous media. The research status on flow, heat transfer and chemical reaction of porous media was reviewed, and the relationship among three processes was analyzed. It is pointed out that flow process, as a mode of transport, carries substances and heat to migrate along the direction of flow, causing changes of the concentration and temperature distribution of substances. These will affect the heat transfer and the chemical reaction process; Heat transfer changes the physical and chemical properties of fluids by changing the temperature distribution, and thereby affects flow process and chemical reaction; Chemical reaction changes the pore structure of porous media, changes the physical and chemical properties of porous fluid, and changes the heat transfer properties of solids and fluids, and then affects flow process and heat transfer through consuming reactants and producing new material. The analysis showed that chemical reactions, as the process occurring at micro-scale, have obvious effects on macro-flow and heat transfer processes. To quantitatively describe these effects needs to develop a new method of scale-span analysis, measurement or calculation.

    Based on the field engineering geological survey and rock mechanics experiment of deep roadway surrounding rock in Tengjia mining area of Xincheng Gold Mine, the rock mass quality of roadway surrounding rock is classified as Grade III, poor or general level, by RMR, Q and GSI methods respectively. Based on rock mass quality classification, Hoek-brown criterion and empirical formula are used to estimate rock mass mechanical parameters. Elastic-plastic mechanics is adopted to analyze the failure range of plastic zone of roadway surrounding rock, and Phase 2 is used to analyze the stability of surrounding rock of roadway. The results show that the plastic failure range of roadway roof is 0.598 m, the plastic failure range of two sides is 0.84 m and 0.695 m respectively. The displacement of roadway roof is 7.2 mm, and the displacement of two sides is 7.6 mm and 6.8 mm, respectively. From the stress analysis of roadway surrounding rock, it can be seen that the stress concentration produced by deep roadway excavation exceeds the strength of rock mass. So, it can be judged that the damage of deep roadway surrounding rock is mainly caused by stress of excavation disturbance on jointed rock mass, resulting in the failure and destroy of roadway surrounding rock. This study provides a basis for supporting surrounding rock of deep roadway.

    In order to demonstrate whether tailings cemented filling with high sulfur content can be used in a copper mine in China, the strength variation of high-sulfur tailings filling body was investigated by adopting the tailings filling ratio experiment. The results showed that the high sulphur tailings filling body cracks gradually with the growth of curing age under unclosed environment, and its strength increases first and then decreases gradually. Under closed environment, the filling body does not crack, and its strength increases gradually to a relatively stable level with the growth of curing age. Under unclosed condition, the strength of filling body increases or decreases regularly with the change of slurry mass concentration and lime-sand ratio at the early stage, but it has no obvious variation law with the change of lime-sand ratio or mass concentration at the later stage. Scanning electron microscopy analysis shows that the cracking of high sulfur tailings filling body is mainly caused by the large amount of expansive materials such as ettringite and gypsum in the filling body.

    In order to guarantee the smooth construction of the mining and supporting engineering in the secondary west mining area of Jinchuan Longshou Mine, an hollow inclusion stress relief method was adopted to obtain three dimensional stress data of 6 measuring points at the three horizontal roadways of 1 430 m, 1 514 m, and 1 610 m, and the section stress-ellipses at different normal directions of each site was drawn. The results showed that the maximum principal stress value is about 10~14 MPa in the depth range of 100-280 m underground, and it belongs to the medium stress level; The difference between the maximum and the minimum principal stress values in the measuring points of 2, 5, and 6 are relatively large, within the range of about 8.2~11.2 MPa; The KHh, KHV, and Kav of stress characteristic parameters are distributed within ranges of 1.43~4.81, 1.06~3.1, 0.88~2.28, respectively, and these are basically within the previous scopes; The maximum horizontal principal stress at each measuring point is higher than the vertical stress, and the tectonic stress is dominant in this region. However, according to the angle between the principal stress and the horizontal plane, it can be seen that the characteristics of the non-horizontal stress field begin to appear, indicating the in-situ stress in this area are complex; The directions of the maximum principal stress include two groups: NNE, the dominant direction, and NWW, of which the possibility in becoming the dominant direction of the new maximum principal stress, needs further in-situ stress measurement.

    In order to ensure sublevel mining safety of inclined orebody, theoretical calculation method and numerical simulation method were combined to analyze the stability of the hanging wall rock at sublevel-step stope with different structure parameters. The relationship between equivalent exposed area, stress variation, displacement and plastic zone distribution of surrounding rock on the hanging wall and the length, height of the stope was analyzed under different parameter conditions. Based on the theory of rock strength, the distribution area of tensile stress zone and the limit criterion of displacement, the parameters of stope structure which can guarantee the stability of the upper plate were put forward and demonstrated by the engineering application. The results show that the increase rate of equivalent exposed area with the stope length is greater than that with the height. When the stope length is greater than 40 m, the influencing weight of stope height on equivalent exposed area increases gradually. When stope length and height are both 40 m, the maximum displacement of surrounding rock on the upper wall along the left and right edges and the bottom of stope is 41.77 mm, and the plastic zone gradually generates in local. However, each plastic zone does not penetrate with each other, so it can maintain its own stability. The engineering application results show that there is no peeling and slag dropping of the surrounding rock on the hanging wall during the mining process, with good stability. Therefore, in order to effectively ensure the safety and production efficiency of the stope, it is suggested that the height of the stope should be 40 m and the length should be 40 m.

    Nanfen open-pit iron ore is a multi-stage mining mine, and the current implementation is the side slope extension from the third phase to the fourth phase. Because the minimum working surface of the fourth-phase expansion area is far away from the mining and stripping surface of the main mining field in the third-phase,lower stage in height, long transition time cannot guarantee the high-yield and stable transition of the ore. In the case that the original development transportation road leading to the main stope is blocked by the rolling stone caused by the expansion, most of the ore in the main stope must be transported in a long distance through the development transport system at lower plate. In view of the above situation, it is preferred to expand a narrow inclined strip on the upper plate to increase the amount of mining in the third stage. At the same time, a safe and reliable, economical and reasonable temporary transportation road is opened up on the upper plate to create conditions for keeping continuous stable production and lowering transportation cost.

    In order to deepen the understanding on the mechanism of ore-rock particle flow at the side ore-drawing, a three-dimensional numerical model without pillar was designed by using discrete element method and describing the composition of ore-rock block by uniformly distributed spherical particles, and the micro-analysis on the flow characteristics of ore-rock bulk was carried out. The contact force and force network distribution between particles in the process of ore-rock flow were calculated by the contact mechanics method. The results showed that: ① the ratio of contact force between particles and average contact force in the process of ore drawing is not affected by the ore drawing, and its peak value is about 1, which obeys power function when f > 1 and negative exponential function when f < 1; and ② the probability of force chain in which the inner length L is longer than 3 particles obeys the exponential relationship e. The exponential relationship shows that the probability of longer force chain in primary drawing decreases slightly, but it decreases rapidly with the increase of the length of force chain at any time. ③ in the whole process of ore drawing, the contact force decreases linearly with the increase of the times of ore drawing when f∈[1,2], but the contact force is not affected by ore drawing when f> 2.

    In the process of cement solidification of uranium tailings, uneven mixing often leads to low strength and high radon exhalation rate. In order to improve the properties of the solidified body, some other solidified materials such as granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash and quicklime were added into the solidified body. The saturated water content, mechanical strength and radon exhalation rate of uranium tailings cement solidified body were tested by adjusting the type, dosage and curing age of the admixtures in the solidified body. The experimental results showed that the compressive strength, tensile strength and shear strength of uranium tailings solidified body at 7 d, 14 d and 28 d ages are improved with the separate addition of granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash and quicklime. According to the mechanical properties, it is the best to maintain the solidified body with 25% granulated blast furnace slag at 28 d, with lowest saturated water content; The higher the content of radon, the lower the radon exhalation rate, but the best performance is obtained by the addition of 25% granulated blast furnace slag, followed by 25% fly ash. The research results can provide theoretical reference and decision-making basis for the decommissioning treatment of uranium tailings reservoir in the future.

    In order to research the effect of Fe3+ and Na+ dissolved from aegirite on the flotation of specularite and aegirite in dodecylamine system, single mineral flotation experiment was carried out with 0.044~0.074 mm size fraction minerals of specularite and aegirite. The mechanism was analyzed from views of Zeta potential measurement and solution chemical calculation. The results showed that dodecylamine had a good effect on the collection of specularite and aegirite, while Fe3+ showed a stronger inhibitory effect on specularite than that of aegirite, and Na+ had no significant depression effect on the floatability of these two minerals. The added Fe3+ and Na+ right shifted the surface potential of these two minerals, which wakened the electrostatic adsorption of dodecylamine. Fe3+ adsorbed on the surface of these two minerals mainly in the form of hydrophilic hydroxide precipitation, which increased the hydrophilicity of specularite and aegirite and inhibited their floatability.

    To increase the index of hematite flocculation flotation, magnetized water,magnetized pulp and magnetized starch were used to flocculate and settle hematite. Effects of magnetization treating on flocculate were investigated. The results show that all of the three magnetization modes can improve the flocculation settlement rate of oolitic hematite. The results of optical microscope analysis showed that it can be clearly seen that the floc size after the magnetization treatment is larger and more compact than that of the unmagnetized,at the same time, transparent quartz particles dispersed around the floc were observed, indicating that the magnetization treatment can significantly promote the selective flocculation of micro-grained hematite. Under the three magnetization modes of magnetized water,magnetized ore pulp,and magnetized starch,the surface potential of hematite particles decreased with the increase of magnetization time, and the variation trend of the Zeta potential was consistent with that of the sedimentation rate of oolitic hematite under different magnetization conditions. The flocculation mechanism of the fine-grained hematite after treated by three magnetization modes is in line with the extended DLVO theory.The flocculation mechanism is: the magnetization treatment can reduce the Zeta potential of the hematite in varying degrees,thereby reducing the double electrical layer repulsive force and potential energy barrier among the fine-grained hematite particles.

    In order to investigate the flotation mechanism of the oxidized pyrrhotite treated by ultrasonic, the surface property, surface dissolution and the flotation behavior of oxidized pyrrhotite were investigated through flotation experiments, ultrasonic dissolution experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Zeta potential measurements and collector adsorption testing. The results show that ultrasonic can promote the dissolution of the oxides. Treated by ultrasonic, iron oxides such as FeOOH, Fe2(SO4)3 are dissolved, making the surface rich in sulfur as well as small part of fresh pyrrhotite surface exposed. Further ultrasonic treatment won't change the surface property. After treated by ultrasonic, the point of Zero charge shift towards the negative direction. The pyrrhotite become more hydrophobic, making the collector more easily adsorb on its surface and promoting the flotation behavior of pyrrhotite. There is no bad effect even treated by excessive ultrasonic. The results may provide additional insights into the flotation improvement of the oxidized sulfide minerals by ultrasonic.

    The desired mineral liberation is the prerequisite for flotation. Finding out the inner relations among the ore fineness, the desired mineral liberation degree and its floatability, can provide guidance for the ore pretreatment before flotation. Thus taken copper ores of west ore body in Chambishi as a case, briefly discusses the relation between the mineral liberation degree and its floatability under different dissemination particle sizes, using mineral liberation analysis (MLA). The results show that the main copper mineral is chalcopyrite (5.32%), and the main gangue minerals are orthoclase, quartz and mica in Chambishi copper ore. In the ore, the copper mineral dissemination particle size is fine and uneven (10~500 μm), and most of which are contiguous to quartz and feldspars, other fine particles are wrapped in coarse gangues, and there are a small number of sufficiently liberated chalcopyrite. When the ore is ground to 70% passing 74 μm, the free surface percentage of chalcopyrite raises from 60.88% to 78.14%, and the number of sufficiently liberated chalcopyrite significantly increases from 28.90% to 54.24%, while the distribution of chalcopyrite in coexistence does not change. In the flotation process, the optimum particle size is 18~100 μm, and the copper loss in the coarse particles is due to low liberation degree of copper minerals, but the loss in the fine particles is due to poor floatability.

    Iron is the main valuable element of Bolivia Mutum iron ore, iron grade in the ore is 57.84%. More than 99% of the iron exists in the magnetite, hematite and limonite. The harmful impurity Si and Al in the ore is slightly higher, and it is distributed in minerals such as quartz, silicate minerals and gibbsite. Ore structure has massive structure, porphyritic structure and disseminated structure. Ore texture mainly includes porphyric structure, inclusion structure, granular structure, residual-skeletal structure, pseudomorphic structure. Hematite is usually irregularly in granular form and sparsely disseminated in gangue minerals. Martite is porphyritic and contains a lot of gangue inclusions in the phenocryst, and it is coexisted with locally untransformed magnetite. Magnetite is mostly idiomorphism and subhedral shaped grain, and it is often metasomatized by hematite to form residual-skeletal structure. Limonite is porphyritic closely intergrowth with ferric clay. The disseminated grain size of iron minerals is inhomogeneous. Part of iron minerals contain fine quartz and sericite, which are difficult to dissociate even through fine grinding. So the gangue minerals associated with iron minerals enter iron concentrate and affect concentrate grade. More than 77% of the magnetite, hematite and limonite in the ore can be liberated when the grinding fineness is -0.074 mm accounting for 85%. However, the liberation degree of iron mineral is not significantly increased when grinding fineness is increased. As a result, the grinding fineness with -0.074 mm accounting for 85% should be selected for separation.

    The relationship between ore-rock location and structural occurrence of engineering rock mass is often characterized by complexity and randomness. Two-dimensional expressions commonly used have certain abstraction and limitations in expressing spatial relations. The visual performance of three-dimensional digital model makes up for the shortcomings of two-dimensional drawings. However, due to its limitation on memory capacity and display platform, the widely-used three-dimensional model limits its application scope. Taking Dagushan Open-pit Iron Mine as a case, the three-dimensional visualization of Dagushan Open-pit Iron Mine has been realized and successfully published to the computer based on Unity 3D platform. At the same time, considering its convenience in application, the three-dimensional model is published in the form of APK as the application program of mobile phone (APP). In addition, the interactive data transmission among computer, mobile client and cloud server can be realized, and dynamic data can be updated in real time.

    In order to investigate the effects of cone angle on the flow field and separation performance of hydrocyclone, a systematical numerical study on a laboratory [?]50 mm hydrocyclone were conducted by using the RSM turbulence model, VOF and Mixture multiphase flow model by Fluent software. The flow field simulation results show that under the same operating conditions, with cone angle increasing, the air core diameter, turbulence intensity, pressure and pressure gradients are significantly increased, resulting in an increase in overall energy consumption. The tangential velocity also increases with the increase of cone angle, but the axial velocity does not change obviously. However, the LZVV gradually moves toward the wall, and the split ratio decreases subsequently. The simulation results of particle separation show that increasing the cone angle leads to an increase in the cut-size and a decrease in the separation efficiency for each size fraction. In addition, a small cone angle is likely to increase the misplacement of fine particles in underflow, while a large cone angle might enhance the entrainment of coarse particles in overflow. The results provide a reference for the selection and design of the conical structure of hydrocyclones.

    In view of the problems of local tension, cracking and collapse of the base material in the process of slope protection, the shear strength characteristics of the base material for 7 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d and 28 d were investigated by using straw fiber as the base material modifier and considering two factors of cement and straw fiber. The experimental results showed that the increase of cement content and the prolongation of curing age increased the shear stress of the base material without straw fiber, the addition of straw fiber improved the ductility of the base material and delayed the shear failure process of the base material, and the increase of straw content effectively improved the shear stress and cohesion of the base material with different proportions, but had less impact on internal friction angle. The shear stress and cohesion of base material with 11% of cement and 4% of straw content for 7 h was increased by 54.68% and 136% separately, comparing with that of 0% straw; that for 3 d were increased by 42.15% and 206% respectively. The straw fiber had not a linear increasing effect on the shear strength of vegetation concrete base material, but weakened with the prolongation of curing age and the increase of cement content. The shear stress of base material with 4% straw and 11% cement for 28 day was decreased by 18.83%, and its cohesion was decreased by 32.87%, comparing with that of 0% straw, and yet its shear stress is higher by 11.84% and the cohesion is lower by 15.73% than that for 14 d. Thus, its weakening degree is closely related to the cement content and the curing environment.

    Due to many factors affecting the landslide,it is difficult to create an accurate kinetic model, and also it is hard to predict the short-term deformation of large-scale slope by using the traditional dynamic model to meet the demand for high-precision early warning of large-scale slopes. The short-term deformation prediction model for large-scale slope was established under the cooperation of regression analysis and robust Kalman filter. Fitting value was adopted to replace the data containing gross errors for filtering and prediction operation, which solves the problem of Kalman filter lacking for anti-interference to gross errors. The engineering case based on monitoring data of large-scale slope in Jinduicheng Open-pit Molybdenum Mine showed that both of the prediction models are effective, but the precision and robustness of the short-term deformation prediction model of large-scale slope under the cooperation of regression analysis and robust Kalman filter are better than the traditional robust Kalman filter model.

    With the rapid development of mining equipment, the degree of mine mechanization is getting higher and higher, and the annual electricity consumption of mine is also increasing. According to the characteristics of the production system, the power consumption links mainly include lifting, drainage, ventilation, pressure self-help and other systems. Statistical data show that the electricity consumption of mine ventilation system accounts for about 1/3 of the total electricity consumption of the whole mine. The input power of the fan is mainly consumed in the total air intake line, network in mining area and total return air line. Therefore, energy saving and drag reduction of mine ventilation system should be considered from the three aspects above. Aiming at the resistance distribution characteristics of the ventilation system in a mine, and by means of economic section method, the optimal ventilation section parameters of total return air line in a mine are put forward through economic and technological comparison and calculation verification, and the purpose of energy saving and rent reduction is easily realized. After calculation, under the premise of keeping the air flow and adopting the optimal ventilation section, the excavation and construction cost of return air tunnel in a mine was increased by 11.779 million yuan at one time, while the ventilation cost could be reduced by 88.279 8 million yuan within seven years of service with considerable economic benefits of energy saving and drag reduction.

    The aluminum-containing mineral phase has large indispensable effect in the formation of excellent geopolymers in the hydration reaction of cement and industrial waste slag, and the geopolymerization of pozzolan active materials. Reviews the hydration mechanism of calcium aluminate hydrate(C-A-H),calcium sulphoaluminate hydrate(C-A-[S]-H), calcium aluminosilicate hydrate(C-A-S-H)and calcium chloroaluminate hydrate(C-A-Cl-H) cementitious system. Summarized the formation and reaction laws of the aluminum-containing mineral phase in these types of gelling systems. Adding appropriate additives to high alumina cement can improve the strength and stability of cement. Aluminum replaces silicon, which leads to charge imbalance and can strongly attract and fix heavy metals and other harmful ions. After the interaction of calcium aluminate and chloride ions, chloride ions can be directly fixed, which provides a new idea for the stabilization and harmless treatment of hazardous waste. It is pointed out that the study on the formation and transformation of aluminum-bearing mineral phases in the cementitious systems with different chemical compositions should be pay more attention to.

    Geopolymers were prepared with the iron tailings as main raw materials, metakaolin as the adjusted materials, with NaOH solution and sodium silicate as alkali activator agent, the effects of raw materials ratio on the properties of geopolymers were investigated by orthogonal testThe results show that under the conditions of raw materials with n(SiO2):n(Al2O3) of 3.0, liquid-solid ratio of 0.35, and alkali activator modulus of 1.2, the compressive strength value of geopolymers is the highest at 28 d, which comes up to 59.0 MPa. The microstructure of the samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM. Microscopic analysis indicate that the samples have the microstructure characteristics of the normal geopolymers, and the main compositions are amorphous aluminosilicate, semi-crystalline CSH(I) and α-C2SH. As the curing ages are prolonged, more gelatinous substances are generated and bond the fine particles together to form compact internal structure in samples, which improves the compressive strength of geopolymers.
