Study on Blasting Effect Optimization to Promote Sustainable Mining under Frozen Conditions

Abstract

In order to respond to the theme of national green and healthy sustainable development and in response to the problems of large block rates and pollution of the environment after the blast mining of underground rocks in alpine areas, we conducted research on the joints of underground rocks and the blastability of frozen rocks. According to the actual geological conditions of an underground mine blasting in Heilongjiang Province, three kinds of joint blasting geometric models were established. The rock mass blasting process of different types of joints was simulated by LS-DYNA software and the influence law of joints on rock mass blasting was summarized. The blasting crater test and the triaxial compression test of frozen rock were carried out. Combined with the blasting fragmentation characterization function (R-R and G-G-S), the blasting fragmentation, strength and stiffness of frozen rock at different temperatures were obtained. Based on the above, the blasting parameters of a multi-joint underground rock mass in an alpine region were optimized: hole spacing 4.0 m, row spacing 2.5 m, hole depth 11.5 m, V-type initiation network. The optimized blasting parameters significantly improved the mining efficiency and reduced the large lump rate to 3.1%. In order to promote the sustainable exploitation of resources in alpine regions, this study optimized the blasting technology of underground rock mass.
