Water Inrush in Mines as a Consequence of Spontaneous Hydrofracture

V. N. ODINTSEV, N. A. MILETENKO
Research Institute of Comprehensive Exploitation of Mineral Resources-IPKON, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kryukovskiy tupik 4, Moscow, 111020 Russia
Keywords: underground excavations, underground water, water inrush, hydrofracture, numerical modeling

Abstract >>
The authors review water inrushes in mines as a consequence of spontaneous hydrofracture of surrounding rocks. In the developed hydrofracture model, the fracture grows under the pressure of underground water in the area of reduction in mining-induced stresses. The model includes two criteria of fracture growth-critical extension of rocks at the fracture tip and opening of fracture throughout the length. It is found that spontaneous hydrofracturing is conditioned by natural and induced stresses, hydrostatic pressure of underground water and by mining sequence.

Ill-Posed Problems in Rock Mechanics

V. E. MIRENKOV
Chinakal Institute of Mining, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Krasnyi pr. 54, Novosibirsk, 630091 Russia
Keywords: rock block, boundary, stress, displacement, singular equation, inverse problem, solution

Abstract >>
Boundary value problems of rock mechanics include many variables that exercise complex influence on the problem solutions. The influence of some variables may be considerable while the other variables have minor effect. The nature of the variable-solution relationship becomes evident after conversion of a boundary value problem. The conversion and the analysis of the solution versus variable is as a rule carried out numerically, which raises questions on the solution accuracy and description of the influence of simultaneously changed variables on the solution. Currently there are known solutions to single-variable inverse subproblems. This article offers a new method for solving multi-variable inverse problems based on obtained exact solutions connecting boundary values of stresses and displacements and eliminating regularization.

Abstract >>
Under analysis is interaction between 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylaminopyrazolone-5 (AMD) and copper in solution and on the surface of chalcopyrite. It is found that AMD experiences chemical adsorption on the surface of chalcopyrite as a compound with copper. Effect exerted on adsorption of AMD agent on copper sulfide by ammonium rhodanate (NH4CNS), introduced as an additional ligand, or its mixture with acetic acid is defined. Based on the analytical research and the analytical chemistry data, the type of adsorption on the surface of chalcopyrite is determined.

National University of Science and Technology-MISiS, Leninskii pr. 4, Moscow, 119049 Russia
Keywords: flotation, tennantite, copper sulfides, oxidation, modifiers, technology

Abstract >>
The authors discuss flotation of fahl ore. It is proved that tennantite should be separated into an individual copper product in order to enhance overall copper recovery and mitigate ecological impact by means of preventing arsenic volatilization under smelting. Single mineral fractions of pyrite, chalcopyrite, tennantite, secondary sulfides, sphalerite and quartz sampled in the Ural region, as well as the sample of copper-zinc ore containing fahl ore are examined. The research involves oxidation of copper sulfides and pyrite under grinding in different conditions. Concentration of oxygen and sulfur-bearing ions is under control. The differences in oxygen consumption, and in oxidation of pyrite, tennantite and other sulfides are used to develop the mode of separation of tennantite from other copper sulfides, sphalerite and pyrite. Based on the research findings, the authors recommend a flotation technology for copper-zinc pyritic ore with high content of tennantite with separation of tennantite and secondary copper sulfides in different flotation circuits at varied pH.

Laboratory tests of relationship between kinetics of flotation of pure galena smaller than 38 µm in size and concentration of potassium butyl xanthate show that flotation rate undergoes considerable reduction when mineral grains are under 18 µm in size. Size grades below 18 µm show the slowest flotation rates that are nearly equal at the collector concentration of 0.5 mg/l. With the higher collector concentration, the flotation rate grows in all size grades under testing.
