A boundary value problem is formulated for the stress–strain modeling of rock mass with regard to nonlinear deformation of rocks in the influence zones of mine roadways. Different variants of boring patterns for the directional hydrofracturing of hard roof, such that reduce the risk of geodynamic events in longwall mining of flat coal seams, are discussed. Numerical modeling shows that the most effective variant is arrangement of an initiator–notch in the seam roof in parallel to natural bedding in coal–rock mass. It is found that initiators–notches ensure a substantial decrease in roof rock displacements above production faces because of stress relaxation in rocks between induced fractures and coal seam. This effect grows when the length of an initiator–notch is increased to 10–20 m.

The article describes numerical investigation of usability of fracture propagation pressure in stress assessment of rock masses. Development and testing of the proposed approach involved 3D numerical experimental modeling of hydraulic fracturing nearby a cylindrical cavity. The main equations in the model were solved using the extended finite element method. The patterns of variation in the fracture propagation pressure nearby the cylindrical cavity are obtained. The relations are presented to find stresses in uniform compression and in a nonuniform field when the minimal stress acts in perpendicular to the axis of the cavity. It is studied how the error of the method changes depending on the ratios of the model parameters. It is shown that in some cases, it is possible to assess direction of the minimal stress by the hydraulic fracture trajectory, its exposure and propagation pressure.

Using the discrete element method, the scalar and vector properties of a granular medium subjected to loading along two-link broken trajectories are analyzed numerically. The calculations of loading samples of a granular medium by cyclic alternating shear and broken trajectory shear are performed. The issue of the value of Ilyushin’s delay trace is discussed. Based on the dilatancy analysis, the trace of delay in the scalar properties of a medium is estimated. The delay in the vector properties is assessed by comparing the stress and strain tensor components during loading. It is found that the trace of delay in the scalar and vector properties in granular media is higher than in metals by one–two orders of magnitude.

Rockburst hazard of mining operations under an open pit bottom at Sayak-1 deposit is assessed. Mining practices use the room-and-pillar system down to a depth of 295 m below the pit bottom. At the present time, pit bottom rock mass of the Central Sayak deposit holds reserves mostly in ore pillars. Single events of dynamic behavior due to the action of rock pressure were recorded in the course of mining. The strength and deformation characteristics of rocks are determined in a laboratory environment. It is found that core samples are prone to rockburst hazard. The natural stresses at the deposit are measured using the hydraulic fracturing method. RQD index of rock mass is determined. The rock mass is of fair and good quality. The average uniaxial compression strength of rocks is 95.85 MPa. By Kaiser’s criterion, rockburst hazard is absent at the deposit and dynamic failure events are unlikely as a consequence. For all rockburst-hazardous types of rocks at the deposit to the depth of 295 m, the coefficient K characterizing rockburst hazard is lower than the critical value. The level of the maximal stresses induced by mining operations is insufficient to provoke dynamic events in rock mass.

The feature of the test surface mines is tectonic disturbance of rock masses, including zones of faulting, crushing and compression. Earlier, such geomechanical assessment was carried out using traditional approaches, and the conclusions lacked estimates of probability of slope failure in open pits. Modern regulations on pitwall stability recommend quantitative estimation of slope failure probability using the probabilistic analysis and statistical testing, for example, the Monte-Carlo method. Owing to the statistical testing and its results, it is possible to quantitatively assess probable risks of slope failures in open pits and, also, to offer better defined requirements on the input data accuracy.

The authors used numerical modeling and physical simulation techniques to study influence exerted by the discontinuity zone width in rock mass and by the size of a crushed rock fraction on the parameters of ground penetrating radar signals. The discontinuity zone represented a layer with rough boundaries. The correlation is found between the measurement error of such layer width and the size of the crushed rock fraction.

In order to study the formation mechanism of the high-cold and high-altitude mountain collapse disaster caused by underlying complex goaf group, the lithology, occurrence of structural planes in rock mass and hydrological conditions of overburden in goaf were obtained through field investigation. Combined with the field investigation results, the landslide disaster mechanism was comprehensively analyzed. The stability of the mountain slope in the underlying goaf and the potential slip arc surface of the collapse body are analyzed by the two-dimensional finite element analysis method. The main causes of surface collapse of mountain slope are: the steep structural plane of rock mass, rainfall and fissure water erosion, freeze–thaw cycle, underground ore body mining disturbance, etc. Geological conditions are the internal cause, while underground mining is the inducement. The combined action of the internal and external causes leads to the special formation mechanism of collapse.

Transition from the specific energy analysis to optimizing process variables in drilling and blasting is discussed as a case-study of the Koktasjal copper–porphyry deposit. The proposed rock hardness determination procedure, as compared with the same-purpose laboratory testing, provides preventive information on rock mass, in real time and without significant expenditures, which is beneficial for practical problem solving, in particular, drilling and blasting optimization and control. Adjustment of a mass blast project in block no. 18-19 at Terekty Mining and Processing Plant is carried out. The powder factor was calculated per each blasthole using the conventional approach and the proposed procedure with regard to the specific energy of drilling. The experimental research with the determination of the drilling specific energy as an optimization criterion of drilling and blasting yielded a positive result and a substantial economic effect. The saving totaled more than 10% of the overall explosive amount put in the mass blast project. The quality of rock fragmentation by blasting was improved as well, which was favorable for the performance of the crushing and sizing facilities.

The authors substantiate the use of the cushion blasting method and decoupled explosive charges to soften large-block (pebbly alluvium) permafrost rock mass at open pit coal mines in the cryolithic zone of Russia’ Far East. The key feature of the method is the decoupling of a borehole charge with separate initiation of the top and bottom portions at a delay not less than one day. This allows an artificial quasi-greenhouse effect owing to blocking of detonation products of the bottom charge. The introduction of the method at the Bureya Open Pit Mine in the Khabarovsk Krai ensured reduction of the powder factor more than by 1.5 times, increased underdrilling of up to 2 m to the design bench toe and enhanced level of safety due to a larger volume of mass blasts over 2 times.

The process of rock arching in top coal caving with powered roof support systems is investigated. A direct proportional dependence between top coal flow duration and probability of static arching of rocks above an outlet hole, which prevents caving, is revealed. The new-developed method allows more accurate determination of the conditions and zones of rock arching in a model with one unit of powered roof support. When a number of powered roof support units operate in simultaneous top coal caving, the probability of arching may reduce greatly owing to the creation of a common zone of top coal flow.

The authors focus on the numerical modeling of the dynamic behavior of elevator and counterweight with regard to airflow in a ventilation mine shaft. The finite element model of the test system is constructed. The modeling takes into account the rotation and displacements of the elevator and counterweight, as well as the elastic forces from the roller guide. The elevator and counterweight travels is studied at different stiffnesses of springs which ensure continuous contact in the roller guide–rail assembly system. The research findings are the pressure patterns in the mine shaft, the horizontal displacement field of the elevator hoist machine and the elastic forces in the roller guide springs of the elevator and counterweight.

MINERAL DRESSING
COLLECTABILITY AND SELECTIVTY OF FROTHERS IN FLOTATION
S. A. Kondrat’ev

The mission of frothers consists in formation of fine bubbles and a frother layer of the required structure to influence floatability of minerals. The collecting and selective properties of frothers are reviewed. Based on the physisorption mechanism of reagents, a hypothesis of the collecting action of frothers in flotation is put forward. Surfactants, while reducing the time of inductance, remove the kinetic constrain of the mineral particle–gas bubble assembly formation. Collectability of surfactants is governed by their surface activity relative to the gas–liquid interface and by the density of adsorption at a mineral which is to be extracted. It is shown that frothers are effective at the gas–liquid interface rather than at the solid–liquid interface, and are not the selective collectors therefore. The high surface and flotation activities of frothers lead to the nonselective recovery of minerals in concentrates. It is proved that frothers with the low surface activity show weaker collecting properties on target minerals and on barren rocks, and, for this reason, are more selective reagents.

The aim of the study was, firstly, to consider the possibilities of applying gravity pre-concentration in a heavy media of lead–copper–zinc ore of current production. As a result of applying this method, a number of advantages can be achieved already at the stage of ore grinding and classification, namely, decrease in specific consumption scale of norms per ton of processed ore, primarily as a result of energy saving in grinding, and decrease in consumption of flotation reagents. Secondly, within the framework of economically more significant and more interesting aspect, the question of using pre-concentration for off-balance ore was considered. The potential application of the pre-concentration process can enable increasing ore reserves while flotation capacity maintaining at the current level. According to the obtained results, the quality of the pre-concentrate remains at the level of the current run-of-mine ore, and the flotation plant keeps the same capacity as it is currently.

For the computerization of studies aimed at improvement of processing technology of iron ore, the methodological approach is proposed to the analysis of structure and mechanical properties in suspension of magnetite nanoparticle dispersion. The approach involves the simulation modeling of motion of nanoparticle aggregates in liquid and the calibration of the model parameters using the experimental data on the viscosity dependence on the temperature and shear velocity. The structure of an aggregate of magnetite particles is analyzed, and the length and composition of a particle chain formed as a result of magnetic dipole–dipole interaction are determined. In terms of magnetite and quartz suspension, it is shown that as a consequence of internal rotation, the chain aggregate tangling takes place concurrently with the increase in the suspension viscosity in the presence of the opposite-charged particles.

Natural transport of gold is a stable and permanent process in the zones of hypergenesis in gold-bearing rock masses. Dissipation and concentration of gold depend on the geochemical barrier conditions of mass transport. One of the main agents in hypergenic transformation of a substance are natural humic compounds—steadfast participants in hypergenesis. The experimental selection of a geological prototype for the hydrochemical mass transport and concentration of gold is carried out for the conditions of the mantle. The pacing factors and probable mechanism of hypergenic concentration zone formation are presented with regard to the properties of fractions of humic substances.

The authors discuss the topical problems and specifics of operation of waterworks facilities in the mining industry in the Arctic zone of Russia. The integrated technical approach is developed for the real-time remote inspection and monitoring of waterworks facilities and natural areas of preferential protection nearby mining-influence zones using advanced space and digital technologies. The mining-induced risk prediction and control is implemented through the assistance of digital twins and risk charts, with ranking of objects by the level of the adverse effects using generalized spatial data obtained in construction of 3D geo-seepage model of rock mass, geomechanical modeling of deformation and permeation processes, as well as from decoding and analysis of satellite images of industrial pollution spots in territorial water and in lowest atmospheric layer. The outcomes of 3D geo-seepage modeling at waterworks facilities are described. The effectivity of remote assessment and control over waterworks facilities and water areas with the help of the Earth remote sensing is demonstrated. The research findings on the environmental impact of induced air pollution in a mining region are discussed.
