Patterson; Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 1992) For primary fan, it is preferable to install two units in parallel than a single unit. The reason is that, in parallel association, a fan will produce 66% of the flow while the other is blocked for repairs

Get PriceThe invention relates to a drift-pillar-free sublevel barnyard caving mining method of an open pit transferred underground transitional period. The drift-pillar-free sublevel caving mining method comprises the following steps of: carrying out sublevel recovering; and finishing rock drilling, blasting and ore removing in a feeding path
Get PriceThis paper analyzes the gas source of the horizontally sectioned fully mechanized caving face in the steeply inclined and extra-thick seam of Adaohai Coal Mine, and numerically simulates the stress distribution and pressure relief of the lower section coal after the upper section working face is mined. It theoretically analyzed the reasonable layout of the drainage boreholes, and designed the
Get PriceJun 17, 2021 Abstract Large-scale mining methods are taking over the leading role in exploitation of low-grade and deep mineral deposits considering its high productivity, low cost, and satisfying ore recovery and ore dilution. In order to improve properties of existing block and sublevel caving methods, researches were carried out in laboratory conditions on physical model of similarity. Results of the
Get PriceVentilation- In this method through ventilation in the active mining area is not possible. On a conventional sublevel, an auxiliary fan is installed at the entrance of the production drift. Ducting is used to take clean (or relatively clean) air to the end of the drift, where mining operations are carried out
Get PriceThe airflow to ventilate the production level is often from dedicated ventilation sublevels. Separate supply and exhaust raises are constructed to support production mining. Airflow coursing from
Get PriceThe optimum ventilation layout parameters were obtained through the simulation of the wind field and dust behaviour. The results show that there were four regions during the airflow field, namely, the jet zone, the recirculation zone, the vortex zone, and the mixing zone of pressure and exhaust airflow

Get PriceOct 23, 2014 The ore in the stope is blasted, collected in the draw-points, and hauled away. Blasting on each sublevel starts at the hangingwall and mining then proceeds toward the footwall. Blasting removes support for the hangingwall, which collapses into the drift. As mining progresses downward, each new level is caved into the mine openings, with the ore materials being recovered while the rock remains
