    In the pipeline transportation of unclassified tailings slurry, the bottom of the slurry pipeline is worn out, which greatly affects the service life of the slurry pipeline. Based on the filling status of the L-shaped pipeline of a tailings slurry of an iron mine in Tangshan,the minimum pressure loss of L-shaped pipeline was taken as the principle to conduct study work.The filling slurry with the ratio of cement to sand ratio of 1∶4,1∶6,1∶8,slurry concentration was 54%,58%,62%,and the test was carried out at 3,5,7 m/s is the slurry flow rate.The pressure loss of the pipe diameters of 70,80,90,100 mm is calculated based on the 3D numerical model by using COMSOL Multiphysics numerical simulation software,besides that,the influence factors of pressure loss were analyzed and optimized.The study results show that the larger the diameter of the pipe,the greater the pressure of the 45° section,and the pressure loss of the L-shaped pipe is quadratic polynomial function;the diameter of the pipe is reduced to 70 mm or increased to 100 mm,which will accelerate the abrasion of the bottom of the L-shaped pipe.In order to extend the service time of the L-shaped pipeline in the mine and minimize the wear of the bottom of the pipeline,it is suggested that diameter of the L-shaped filling slurry conveying pipeline of the mine can be determined as 85 mm ,the slurry flow rate is 3 m/s,the cement-sand ratio is 1∶4 and the mass concentration is 64%.

The results indicate that: ① when the grinding time was 80 min and the specific surface area was 500 m2/kg, the 28 d activity index of the molybdenum tailings was close to 1.2. The mortar block of 28 d compressive strength is about 52 MPa when cementitious materials is consisting of 40% molybdenum tailings, and the mass ratio of cementitious materials to standard sand is 1∶3 with the water-cement ratio of 0.5. ② The hydration products of composite cementitious materials are calcium silicate hydrate and ettringite at early stage, which provided the early strength for the mortar block strength. The main products in the later hydration reaction are C—S—H gels, calcium aluminate hydrate and ettringite (AFt), and mortar block strength is provided by the aggregation effect of residual tailings particles and hydration products.

    The accumulation of ore-rock dispersion is common in mining production and is one of the main factors affecting mine production safety and ore recovery.The angle of accumulation (natural repose angle) of dispersion is one of the main characteristics of its liquidity,and also an important physical parameter.Self-made measuring device is used to conduct physical test,so as to study the variation regularity of natural repose angle of ore and rock mass dispersion with different granule grades under static and stope ore-drawing conditions.The results show that under static and stope ore-drawing conditions,the natural repose angle increases when the size fraction of particles increase,its natural repose angle is increasing gradually, and in the nonuniform ore and rock mass,with the increase of the proportion of granular ore and rock mass,its natural repose angle is also increasing gradually.The static test conditions are similar to ore drawing in pass,ore drawing in funnel and accumulation in dump,when selecting the slope angle of the ore-drawing through the well and funnel,determining the floor area and slope angle of the dump site,the corresponding parameters can be adjusted according to the particle size.According to the test results of ore-drawing conditions in stope,appropriately increasing the particle size can reduce the distance from ore outlet and the volume of the bulk,improve the operating conditions of the scraper,and improve the production efficiency.The fluidity of small granule dispersion is better than that of large granule dispersion,the granule of overburden should be larger than that of ore,which is beneficial to ore outflow.

    The moving ore-rock block in the orepass will collide with the wall of the orepass and lead to the impact damage of the orepass wall.The study of the movement law of ore or rock block in an orepass is beneficial to reduce the collision rate between the ore-rock block and the orepass wall.Based on the kinematic principle,the relation model of the initial direction of the ore or rock block movement and its motion law is established,the movement track equation of the ore or rock is obtained,the condition of collision with the orepass wall during the movement of the ore or rock block is established,the calculation formula of the first time collision point of the ore or rock block and the orepass wall is obtained,and the influence of the initial movement of the ore-rock into the orepass is studied.It is found that:① the diameter D of the orepass, the initial velocity [v0] and direction [α] of the ore or rock block are the main factors affecting the collision between the ore or rock block and the orepass wall;② when D and [v0] remains unchanged, the value of collision position h1 increases with the increase of [α],and vice versa,the smaller the value of h1 is; ③ when D and [α] remains unchanged, with the increase of [v0],the value of collision position h1 is smaller,and on the contrary,the greater the value of h1 is;④ when and remains unchanged, with the increase of D,the value of collision position h1 is larger,and on the contrary, the smaller the value of h1 is.The study results further show that the collision probability between the ore or rock block and the orepass wall could be reduced by properly increasing the diameter of orepass,selecting the appropriate structure and reducing the speed of the ore or rock block entering the orepass,which is beneficial to reduce the degree of impact damage of the ore or rock block.

    The inclined orepass is an important layout method in mines at home and abroad and its deformation and failure are a serious problem in the engineering application.The root cause of the deformation and failure of orepass wall is that the ore or rock dispersions contact and make a force with the orepass wall during their moving in orepass.Different ore-rock movement characteristics in inclined orepass lead to large differences in the degree and scope of deformation and damage of orepass walls in different areas.The deformation and failure mechanism and the failure zone of inclined orepass wall were analyzed by studying the movement characteristics and its influencing factors of ore-rock dispersion moving in inclined orepass.The study results show that: ①Different ore-rock movement modes are affected by factors such as the dip angle of the slip shaft, the shape,particle size and distribution characteristics of the ore block,the physical and mechanical properties of the ore rock,the flatness of the orepass wall and the initial movement direction of the ore block when entering the slip shaft.The damage characteristics to the orepass wall are also different.②The impact damage of the orepass wall caused by the falling or jumping of the ore-rock block mainly occurs at the bottom of the orepass in the direction of the falling rock at the intersection of the branch and the main orepass,and the friction damage of the orepass wall caused by rolling or sliding is mainly distributed on the bottom plates of the branch and the main orepass. ③ According to the deformation and damage characteristics of different orepass wall,it should be prevented from the perspective of optimizing the structure of the orepass and taking corresponding reinforcement measures.

    When underground mines are mined by the open stpoe method or the caving method,the roof will cave.After the caving of the roof strata has developed to the surface,the rock movement will pose a serious threat to the surface industrial facilities and the environment.The theory of critical medium column provides a new idea for surface rock movement control.Taking the mining status of the Xilinhaote Fluorite Deposit with the steeply inclined medium-thick orebody which using short-hole shrinkage method as the engineering background,the main influencing factors of the critical bulk column are studied through field monitoring investigation and similar physical tests.The results show that:① The height of the critical medium column decreases with the increase of the dip angle of the ore body. With the progress of the underground ore drawing, the height of the loose body column is only 39.4%~45.7% of the total height of the bulk,the dense scattered columns above it play a major role in restricting rock movement.② For different ore body thicknesses,by increasing the filling height of the scattered body and reducing the thickness-span ratio,the surface subsidence range can be controlled.③ Proper deformation of the surrounding rock can increase the passive side pressure of the bulk,and reduce the critical medium column height required for the stability of the rock mass of the collapse pit.④ The arch characteristics of the collapse pit are affected by the granularity of the bulk and the collapse pit width,and control the effective height of the critical medium column.The critical arch size range of the Xilinhot Fluorite Deposit is 0.5~0.7 m ,and the critical arch width is 3.5~4.0 m,which is much smaller than the actual distribution width of the collapse pit,that is,the bulk can maintain continuous flow.The above discussion result further indicated that the critical medium column theory can be well applied to Xilinhot Fluorite Mine.

    Reasonable selection of the delay time of induced caving blasting in the goaf roof can effectively improve the effect of induced caving. In order to determine the optimal delay time of millisecond delay blasting in goaf, after analyzing the technical principle of induced caving, using the delay time as the starting point, combined with the actual situation of an underground mine, a numerical simulation model of induced caving blasting was established. Using the LS-DYNA finite element analysis software to simulate the explosion process with delay time of 20 ms, 35 ms and 50 ms respectively, the stress cloud diagram of the explosion process and the curve of the effective stress of each observation point with time are obtained. The simulation results show that the minimum stress and maximum value of the central part of the roof is affected by the blasting delay time, and the corresponding delay time was 35 ms when the maximum effective stress at both ends of the roof was the lowest. When judging by the proximity between the maximum effective stress and the compressive strength of ore and rock, it was concluded that the induction effect is the best when the delay blasting time between presplitting blasting and roof caving blasting was 20 ms.By comparing and analyzing the change of effective stress at each observation point, it is determined that the effect of induced caving is the best when the delay time is 20 ms. The study results can provide a reference for the optimization of blasting parameters in mines by adopting induced caving method.

    In order to investigate the influences of high voltage pulse breakage (HVPB) and mechanical breakage on particles properties and column leaching efficiency of Zijinshan copper ore, mechanical breakage and high voltage pulse breakage with charging voltages of 110 kV and 135 kV, respectively, were used to crush the copper ores with the fraction from 6.7 to 9.5 mm. The properties of progeny particles were measured, including exposure degree of metallic mineral on surface, existence of cracks, aspect ratio, circulartiy and saturated water content of ore heap and the clumn leaching were carried out using the copper ores from different breakage ways. The results indicated that only 1.6% of the particles had metallic minerals exposed on particle surface, and 2.5% of the particles had cracks existed on particle surface for mechanical breakage product. While these two proportions had increased to 3.4%~3.7% and 7.3%~17.2% respectively for HVPB products, which made the leaching solution easier to contact the metallic minerals inside the ore particles. The averaged aspect ratio of HVPB product was 1.42, lower than that of mechanical breakage product of 1.51. As a result, the permeation capacity of leaching solution along the major axis of the progeny particles of HVPB was higher than that of mechanical breakage product for 3.3%~3.5%. In comparison with the mechanical breakage product, the product of HVPB had slightly higher circulartiy and ore heap saturated water content, which could slightly improve the fluidity of the leaching solution on the particle surface and inside the ore heap. Column leaching tests were conducted for the product of different breakage methods and different size fractions. After 21 days for leaching, the copper leaching rate of HVPB product was found to be higher than that of mechanical breakage product by 6.6~11.1 percent, indicating that HVPB can effectively improve the leaching properties for Zijinshan copper ore.

    In order to find out the properties of a certain foreign high-phosphorus oolitic iron ore, chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to study its chemical composition, mineral composition, embedding characteristics and the occurrence state of phosphorus. The results showed that the main iron-bearing minerals in the ore are hematite and magnetite, and a small amount of siderite and goethite. The main gangue minerals are chlorite and calcite. The ores contains phosphorus of 48.61% in apatite and 47.22% in the iron minerals. The iron minerals are mainly distributed in the oolitic grains and closely symbiotic with gangue minerals, making it difficult to separate. Most of the apatite is in the oolitic particles and surrounded by the iron minerals. It has a fine grain size and closely related to the iron minerals. The phosphorus exsited in the iron mineral is evenly distributed and cannot be separated by physical methods. A small amount of phosphorus appears in the form of cellophane and surrounded by iron minerals. In view of the complex mineralogy of the ore, especially the complex form of phosphorus, it is recommended to use the direct reduction and magnetic separation process to treat the iron ore.

    In order to verify the effect of crushing modes on grinding speed and Bond ball grinding work index, the grinding dynamics test and Bond ball grinding work index test were respectively carried out by using the jaw crusher product, cone crusher product and high pressure roller grinding product of a magnetite concentrator. The results showed that:①the grinding effect of high pressure roller mill is the best, followed by the cone crusher product and the jaw crusher. The grinding speed of the same crushing product decreases with the increase of grinding time. For different crushing products, with the increase of grinding time, particle properties and grinding speed are gradually uniform and close to each other. And the influence of crushing modes on grinding speed is gradually unconspicuous. ②The test of Bond ball grinding work index showed that when the particle size of the grinding product is larger than 0.10 mm, the crushing modes has a significant impact on the energy consumption of the grinding product, and the high pressure roller grinding product is the most energy-saving. When the particle size of the grinding product is less than 0.10 mm, the impact of crushing modes on the energy consumption of the grinding product is reduced. The uasage of high pressure roller mill in crushing process is beneficial to increase the processing capacity of mill and reduce the grinding energy consumption.

    Guyang area of Baotou City in Inner Mongolia is dry and less rain, in which hematite is widely distributed and difficult to be separated. The TFe grade of the raw ore is only 13.51%, and the separation indexes with traditional magnetic separation equipment are poor, resulting in the lack of competitiveness. Thus, the influencing factors of the separation grade of the new three-stage dry-type permanent magnet drum-type magnetic separator were studied. Under the condition of wind speed of 5 m/s, the influences of the rotation speed and the particle size of selected ore on the test indexes of dry-type permanent magnet magnetic separator under different distribution modes of magnetic rollers were investigated. The results show that the optimum speed of the drum is 120 r/min in high, medium and low magnetic field distribution, and the optimum speed of the drum is 140 r/min in low, medium and high magnetic field distribution. When the magnetic field arrangement of the drum is high, medium and low, the sorting effect is better than that of low, medium and high magnetic field arrangement, performing the better concentrate yield and TFe grade. For this new type of permanent magnet dry magnetic separator, the better working parameters are the drum magnetic field strength from top to bottom of 0.23 T, 0.17 T and 0.11 T, rotation speed of 120 r /min, the feeding particle size of -2 mm,brought out the concentrate of the TFe grade of 34.62% and the tailings of the TFe grade of 10.95%, respectively. The experimental results provide technical parameters for the further research on improving the performance of the three-stage dry-type permanent magnet drum-type magnetic separator and a research basis for the development and utilization of low-grade hematite resources.

    Copper smelting slag contains valuable metals such as copper and iron. Copper metal could be recovered directly by flotation, but iron minerals are difficult to separate directly by magnetic separation due to complex minerals composition. In this paper, copper smelting slag containing 38.76% iron and 2.26% copper was taken as the research object. Based on the analysis of ore properties, copper and iron were recovered from the copper slag by direct reduction roasting and magnetic separation process when bituminous coal was used as the reducing agent. The results showed that the copper smelting slag, bituminous coal and CaO were mixed at a mass ratio of 100∶25∶20, and then roasted in 1 200 ℃ for 80 minutes. The roasted samples were ground to -0.045 mm accounted for 80%, and then subjected to magnetic separation at magnetic field intensity of 111 kA/m. Finally, concentrates with 91.54% iron-containing and 6.06% copper-containing was obtained. The corresponding recovery rates were 90.54% of copper and 89.04% of iron, respectively, which provides basis for the production and utilization of the copper smelting slag.

    Experimental study was carried out to investigate the influence of polypropylene fibre on the shear behavior, compressive behavior and microstructural properties of polypropylene fiber-reinforced iron tailings. The shear behavior was determined by the shear resistance, and the compressive behavior was determined by the unconfined compressive strength. The structural changes of the fiber-reinforced tailing sand were evaluated by macrostructural failure analysis and microstructural test with SEM analysis. The tests was designed to research the influenence of fiber contents and moisture contents on the tailings specimens. The results showed that the fiber is an important factor to improve the shear strength and unconfined compressive strength, and the reinforcement effect mainly depends on the friction and bonding between the fiber interface and the sand interface. The best fiber contents is 0.3%, and the best moisture content is 12% in the shear tests and unconfined test. In addition, the macroscopic structural failure analysis and SEM microstructural tests showed that the action of polypropylene fiber is mainly to bridge the crack and counteract the external force through the friction force at the fiber interface and the sand interface to achieve the purpose of increasing the strength.

    Manganese tailings slag is rich in elements such as silicon and aluminum, which could be used as a raw material for preparing geopolymers. In order to investigate the possibility of combining manganese tailings slag with straw stalk as an insulation material, manganese tailings slag was used to replace some metakaolin for preparing geopolymer. After combining with straw stalk, kaolin/manganese tailings slag and straw composite insulation material was prepared. The effect of diffirent curing time under natural conditions and adding different proportions of straw on the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of composite thermal insulation materials were studied. The results showed that when the addition of straw stalk powder was 3%, the compressive strength of the composite insulation material reaches 71.8 MPa after 28 days of curing with the flexural strength of 9.8 MPa, the thermal conductivity of 0.065 W/(m·K) and the density of 265 kg/m3. The main indicators meet the requirements of national standard Constrcution Industry Standard (JG 158-2004). The high temperature resistance tests of the composite insulation material was conducted. The results showed that the polymer has a certain protective effect on straw when the calcination temperature was lower than 200~500 ℃. The research results of the thesis have a certain promotion effect on improving the comprehensive utilization of manganese tailings and straw.
