Rock joint is the basic for studying the physical and mechanical properties of rock mass structure surface,but it is difficult to fully understand the rock joint distribution patterns in space,owing to deep buried in the rock mass.To show the development characteristics of rock joint in three-dimensional space and master the distribution regularity of joint fissure in rock mass,the distribution model of rock mass joint in three-dimensional space was constructed.Taking Panlong lead-zinc mine in Guangxi as the research object,the basic information of rock joint in the field was obtained by means of line method,and the parameter distribution probability model was determined by using the theory of probability and mathematical statistics to analyse the joint geometry parameters.According to the principle of Monte-Carlo simulation and the relevant function of Excel to produce random number,the simulation data was obtained,and then based on the AutoLISP language simulation program,3D-network simulation visualization of rock joint was generated in CAD,and it will be applied to rock mass quality classification in the model.Research shows that the joint plane three-dimensional network simulation effect is good,in the rock mass quality evaluation fully embodies the opposite sex characteristics,the evaluation results tend to be more practical,this method provides a new idea and way for the study of rock joints.
In order to determine the classification of rock mass quality more reasonably,PCA-RF classification model of rock mass quality was proposed which combined with principal component analysis and random forest algorithm.Five classification indexes were chosen which can fully reflect the rock mass quality category.The correlation analysis of indexes was calculated by principal component analysis,and three principal components were abtained by accumulated variance devoted rate,which can eliminate the correlation between each index and reduce the inputs of model.Then,the classification of rock mass quality was determined by random forest model.Twenty sets field data were chosen as training samples,and ten sets field data were chosen as testing samples.The generalization errors were estimated by cross-validation method.The results show that the classification results satisfyingly agree with the actual results at the average accuracy of 96.7%,and the probability distribution of classifications that can reflect the complexity of rock mass quality was calculated simultaneously,which can provide more detailed reference for engineering construction.
The uniaxial compression tests of homogeneous red sandstone under low loading (strain) rate range with different order of magnitude were carried out using hydraulic servo test machine.The effects of loading (strain) rate on the compressive strength,tangent elastic modulus and failure strain were investigated.The displacement control loading was adopted in the process of testing,and the loading rate were 0.12,1.2,12,120 mm/min respectively.The results show that there are good linear relationship among displacement control loading rate,actual loading rate and strain rate of specimen.The uniaxial compressive strength and tangent elastic modulus of rock materials increase with the loading rate under different loading rates,the uniaxial compressive strength increases by 11%,the tangent elastic modulus increases by 13%,and the rate effect is remarkable. It is also found that the failure strain is no associated with strain rate (loading rate) by experimental data,and there is no law of rate effect,so the strength criterion should be stress criterion instead of strain criterion.
There were many problems in the existing ore drawing system,such as large sand concentration fluctuation,low concentration of actual ore drawing and instability,so a new discharge sand model was proposed ,which was different from tranditional discharge sand working mode of vertical sand silo.That was,by controlling three conditions of feed flow and concentration,discharge flow and height of tailings stacking surface,to carry out feed,overflow and discharge sand at the same time. And fluent software was used to simulate continuous discharge tailings model. The results showed that,different height of the accumulation corresponding to discharge tailings concentration at the bottom of the silo is different can be obtained as feeding,overflow and discharging keeping stability and achieving a dynamic balance. The relationship of tailings volume fraction changes with regularly silo height.Prediction model of the volume fraction of tailings changes with silo height is proposed. Industrial test of continuous tailings discharge systems is carried out in Dahongshan copper mine Yuxi Yunnan.The results showed that the industrial test displays successfully which validate the efficacy of the continuous tailings discharge model.

Thiosulfate leaching technology has become the focus of research and development of non-cyanide gold leaching technology.Especially,the copper-ammonia-thiosulfate system has been studied in-depth and long-term,because of the advantages of leaching fast,environmental friendly,less corrosive alkaline and suitable treatment of refractory ore with arsenic or carbon.There are many factors could impact on the leaching process and leaching results greatly.Such as,the type of thiosulfate,the capacity of common mineral adsorption,catalytic and decomposition,ion release in minerals,the dissolution of heavy metal ions,anion participation in the reaction process,leaching process and gold leaching effect.The impact of the various factors on the leaching process were summarized in this paper,which could be conducive to the development and improvement of thiosulfate leaching of gold.In leaching process,the type of thiosulfate salts was determined to treat different types of minerals,and different gold bearing minerals show different abilities of adsorption,dissolution and catalytic decomposition.At the same time,the effect of heavy metallic ions released by minerals on gold dissolution strongly depended on the type of ion and concentrations.Anions from reagents,the decomposition of thiosulfate and other aspects,show completely different effects on the leaching system.By adding phosphates,EDTA,CMC and other additives can improve the leaching environment and eliminate adverse effects.
Many factors affect the leaching processes of chalcopyrite.The effect of initial pH value on the activity of leaching bacteria ASH-07,the efficiency of the leaching result and compositions of the oxide film on the chalcopyrite surface were investigated.The results showed that the bacteria reached equilibrium phase and boomed to 1.4×108 cell/mL after cultured for 24 h on the condition of pH=1.2~1.8 after leaching for 6 d.The leaching efficiency rapidly reached approximately 45.0%.XPS analysis of the oxide film presented that no jarosite passive film was observed on the mineral surface after leaching for 168 h on the condition of initial pH=1.2.
