2018; Si et al., 2024b) have used SHPB in the impact assessment on brittle rock materials and have attained prolifi c, remarkable accomplishments (Li et al., 2017a). Numerous engineering procedures have exhibited that compared with rock, the dynamic responses of damaged rock with defects exposed to dynamic loads
The physical and mechanical characteristics of intact rocks depend on the way of their formation, sustained deformations and the process of wearing a specific rock has been exposed to. These characteristics have a rather high influence on the
Innovation has an important role in improving the productivity, safety and sustainability of mining operations. Historically, ore transport was done by diesel trucks, but with the commitment to reduce CO2 emissions and increase mine safety, mining companies have invested in innovative, more sustainable ore transport technologies. The innovative …
The results show that energy consumption at the primary crusher is a sum of two components: energy directly involved in crushing the rock, and additional energy used for winning the inertial ...
The optimization of blasting operations greatly benefits from the prediction of rock fragmentation. The main factors that affect fragmentation are rock mass characteristics, blast geometry, and explosive properties. This paper is a step towards the implementation of machine learning and deep learning algorithms for predicting the …
rock fragmentation can influence the volumetric and packing properties of the rock (e.g., the fill factor and bulk volume) and, ... truck buckets, (iii) at crusher stations, or on conveyors in the processing plant to capture photos [7-9]. These 2D image ... Lighting conditions can drastically impact the results of the image analysis [5, 8].
A method for estimating the crusher model parameters based on Axb value was introduced. Abstract. In hard rock mining, blasting is generally the first operation of …
The impact of dynamic forces in rock-blast fragmentation process has been the subject of investigation for years. Nevertheless, while the influence of the macro-fragmentation in downstream ...
IMPACT OF ROCK HARDNESS ON FRAGMENTATION BY HYDRAULIC ... and plastic deformation and the loss of energy in crusher. Accordingly, the fragmentation process is very expensive
In hard rock mining, blasting is generally the first operation of rock fragmentation from its in-situ state. Therefore, blast design and geotechnical ore properties have a significant impact on downstream processes such as crushing and grinding.
Starting from the base working principle that compression is the forcing of two surfaces towards one another to crush the material caught between them.Impact crushing can be of two variations: gravity and dynamic. An example of gravity impact would be dropping a rock onto a steel plate (similar to what goes on into an Autogenous Mill).
Impact crushers apply a high-speed impact force to rock particles using hammers or blow bars. The rate of energy input is much higher causing particles to …
Rock fragmentation due to blasting depends upon many parameters. The properties of the explosive are one of them. ... The dumpers unload their contents onto a grizzly fitted on the crusher so as to control the size of crusher feed. The size of the opening of the grizzly is 1 m. ... (2006) Impact of burden and spacing on fragment size ...
The rock blocks extracted by blasting which are larger than the opening of the primary crusher are usually fragmented by hydraulic hammer. The paper presents the results of the testing of impact of rock hardness on fragmentation of rocks by means of hydraulic hammer and during crushing in jaw crusher.
1. Introduction. Rock fragmentation is one of the key tasks in various industries, including surface and underground mining [1], tunnel excavation [2], and underground cavern construction [3]paring to other mechanical excavators such as tunnel boring machines and roadheaders, hydraulic impact hammers (HIHs) have …
The mechanism of rock fragmentation within crushers is dominated by compression at high strain rates. Research presented in this paper has investigated the relationship between strain rate, impact ...
Crushing: Rock fragmentation in the first stage was calculated based on the feed for the primary gyratory crusher, with d 80 range of the feed equal to 1524–2260 mm . There are multiple methods used to determine the …
Although in Fig. 1, there is a large scatter in data, it can be seen that there is a average increase in the energy to produce fragmentation over the strain rates 2.667 × 10 −5 –0.01 strain/s for all the three rock types tested. For the chalk the energy of fragmentation changed from approximately 1.6 J at a strain rate of 2.667 × 10 −5 …
Rock fragmentation is the technique in which a part of rock mass is separated from the parent rock and broken into rock fragments during digging. In the eleventh century B.C. in China (the Shang Dynasty), copper adze and axe were used for breaking rock. ... It is widely used. (2) Mechanical fragmentation includes four …
2.1 Energy. Rock drilling, blasting, and comminution (crushing and grinding) consume a vast amount of energy in hard rock mines. As mentioned in Sect. 1, …
1.. IntroductionThe dynamic fragmentation of solid, brittle materials is a fundamental activity that lies at the start of many manufacturing and recovery processes, most notably during crushing in the minerals and aggregates industries, during blasting in quarries and tunnels and in the action of some rock cutting processes …
Impact-induced rock fragmentation is a mechanism that is commonly used for rock breakage in drilling and crushing. Additionally, rock fragmentation by blasting is frequently used in rock excavation operations. Experience shows that the presence of discontinuities can significantly influence the impact-induced damage and fragmentation of rock.
