Prediction of Rock Fragmentation Due to Blasting in Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine Using Artificial Neural Networks
The main objective in production blasting is to achieve a proper fragmentation. In this paper, rock fragmentation the Sarcheshmeh copper mine has been predicted by developing a model using artificial neural network. To construct the model, parameters such as burden to spacing ratio, holediameter, stemming, total charge-per-delay and point load index have been considered as input parameters. A m...
متن کاملImplementation of Hyperbolic Tangent Function to Estimate Size Distribution of Rock Fragmentation by Blasting in Open Pit Mines
Rock fragmentation is one of the desired results of rock blasting. So, controlling and predicting it, has direct effects on operational costs of mining. There are different ways that could be used to predict the size distribution of fragmented rocks. Mathematical relations have been widely used in these predictions. From among three proposed mathematical relations, one was selected in this stud...
متن کاملApplication of Confined Blasting in Water-Filled Deep Holes to Control Strong Rock Pressure in Hard Rock Mines
In extra-thick coal seams, mining operations can lead to large-scale disturbances, complex overburden structures, and frequent and strong strata behavior in the stope, which are serious threats to mine safety. This study analyzed the overburden structure and strata behavior and proposed the technique of confined blasting in water-filled deep holes as a measure to prevent strong rock pressure. I...
متن کاملPrediction of fragmentation due to blasting using mutual information and rock engineering system; case study: Meydook copper mine
One of the key outcomes of blasting in mines is found to be rock fragmentation which profoundly affects downstream expenses. In fact, size prediction of rock fragmentation is the first leap towards the optimization of blasting design parameters. This paper makes an attempt to present a model to predict rock fragmentation using Mutual Information (MI) in Meydook copper mine. Ten parameters are c...
متن کاملBreakage and fragmentation modelling for underground production blasting applications
A review of breakage and fragmentation modelling literature has shown that only a few methodologies have been specifically developed for applications in underground production blasting. These approaches however, have applied empirical relations that do not adequately consider ring blasting geometries; have failed to appropriately respond to changes in basic design input parameters; and have pro...
