Abstract
Non-pillar sublevel caving is beginning to use large structural parameters in China. Appropriate structural parameters can effectively control the loss and dilution of stope and improve ore drawing efficiency. In this study, taking Chengchao Iron Mine as the engineering background, a theoretical calculation, a numerical simulation, and physical similarity experiments were combined to optimize sublevel height, production drift spacing, and drawing space. The optimal structural parameter range, based on the ellipsoid ore drawing theory, was obtained as a theoretical reference for subsequent studies. A “two-step” strategy was used, in which PFC2D software (Itasca Consulting Group, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was used to numerically simulate 20 groups of different sublevel heights and production drift spacing parameters were used to determine the appropriate sublevel height and production drift spacing for the project. Subsequently, the optimization of the ore drawing space was studied using PFC3D (Itasca Consulting Group, Minneapolis, MN, USA) particle unit software, numerical simulation analysis, and similar physical experiments. The results showed that safe and efficient mining can be achieved when the structural parameters of the stope are 17.5 m sublevel height, 20 m production drift spacing, and 6 m drawing space. The findings of this study can further the goal of green and efficient mining, and provide a theoretical reference for the popularization and application of pillarless sublevel caving with large structural parameters at home and abroad. It is an effective measure for the green mining of caving mines.
