Abstract:

Sublevel caving method without sill pillar is gradually applied to mining of inclined medium-thick ore bodies,for it has the advantages of simple craft,safety,high efficiency,high mechanization and low mining cost.Nevertheless,its high ore loss and high dilution in the mining of the inclined medium-thick orebody are still ubiquitous,so the inserts drawing technology was proposed.The basic principle of this technology is to insert steel pipes at the contact point of drift to form a diversion isolation plate (inserts) to change the flow path of the ore and the rock,and also to improve the conditions of drawing.By adopting inserts drawing technology,12 sets of physical simulation experiments of inserts drawing were carried out to analyze the influence of different sizes of drawing point on the ore loss and dilution of inserts drawing technology.The experimental results show that when the following drawing indexes are determined,such as the orebody inclination,orebody thickness,sublevel height and ore caving interval,and the inserts drawing technology is adopted,with the same height of the drawing point,the ore recovery rate increases with the augment of the width of the drawing point accordingly,and the dilution rate does not change significantly with the increase of the width of the drawing point.With the same width of the drawing point,the ore recovery decreases as the height of the drawing point increases,while the dilution rate increases with the increase of the height of the drawing point.Under the condition of the same dilution rate,compared with the conventional drawing,the recovery rate of inserts drawing is increased by 28.33%.In the process of drawing,the width of drawing point is increased,and the inserts structure can effectively change the original flow path of the waste rock,delay the flow rate of the waste rock,and prevent the waste rock from being prematurely depleted.The drawing scheme with a height of 3 m and a width of 6 m has the best drawing effect,and the ore recovery rate is 73.61%.

Key words: sublevel caving method without sill pillar, inclined medium-thick orebody, inserts, sizes of drawing point, ore loss, ore dilution
