It is very important to predict the blasting fragmentation size of fractured rock mass. Based on the geological conditions of practical engineering rock mass, a plane analysis model of bench blasting in layered rock mass considering microcrack structure was established. And the distribution law of stress in the bench blasting of layered rock …

Blasting cost prediction and optimization is of great importance and significance to achieve optimal fragmentation through controlling the adverse consequences of the blasting process. By gathering explosive data from six limestone mines in Iran, the present study aimed to develop a model to predict blasting cost, by gene expression …

Limestone mining isn't discussed as often as, say, fracking or oil drilling, but it has its fair share of risks and problems. Let's look at six top limestone mining issues. 1. Groundwater Contamination. Limestone is mined underground, but vital groundwater is located underground too. When there is a limestone mine near a groundwater source ...

Underground mining of limestone has some advantages over surface quarrying and will probably increase in the future. Typical public concerns about limestone mining include dust, noise, blasting vibration, and truck and other traffic associated with quarry operations. Some limestones are also aquifers, that is, they are rock units that can yield ...

146 blasting data from six limestone mines in Iran using the artificial neural networks (ANNs), gene expression programming (GEP), linear multivariate regression (LMR), and ... first step in the production process in open-pit mines and the cost of this step is 8-12% of the total mining costs [8], and lack of any study in the ...

During blasting operations in open pit mines, most of the blast energy (approximately 40%) is wasted due to ground vibration. This phenomenon causes damages to the surrounding structures and pit ...

Blasting, Vibration, AlvandQoly, Limestone Mine, Analysing . 1. Introduction measurement of ground vibration considered potentially . In most of surface mines, blasting operation is the first element of the ore extraction process. The primary purpose of blasting is rock fragmentation and displacement of the broken rock.

RANJIT PASWAN. This paper deals with the controlled blasting techniques implemented to control overbreaks, blast induced blast vibration and to aid in the stability to the rock mass of highwall at Jayant Opencast Project of …

1. Introduction. Mining activity is mostly represented by these four main operations: drilling, blasting, loading and hauling. For a proper mine planning and design, all of these operations need to be carefully planned in such a manner that can prevent extra loads such as operating costs, environmental footprints, etc. Amongst these operations, …

While electronic detonators are perfectly suited for controlled blasting in open pit mines, they also offer great flexibility to production blasts (Dent, 1994; Kay, 2000, Mckinstry et al. 2002; Chavez and Chantry, 2003, …

Blasting is regarded as a widespread rock fragmentation technique used in mining projects. Most of the blasting energy is squandered in generating unfavorable environmental effects like ground vibration, air-overpressure, flyrock and back-break [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].As stated by institute of markers of explosives (IME), flyrock is an …

Yang et al. based on the rock crushing mechanism and damage mechanics described the process of rock damage and fracture under blasting as two stages: the …

Step 2: Planning. During the planning phase, mining professionals must determine blast hole pattern and detonation sequence. Both are optimized to break the rock efficiently and to minimize ground vibration and sound. …

The economic analysis of the use of explosives is an important part of blasting operations in mining and construction. Explosives are energy, and the efficient use of this energy is a major factor in keeping rock blasting costs under control. High-energy explosives enhance fragmentation, which ultimately produces a positive effect on production ...

Except for very deep-seated deposits, open cast mining method has been recognized as the safest and most productive mode for mining minerals. Ever growing demand in minerals and coal has compelled the mine operators to increase the size of mine, which has resulted in an increasing trend towards large capacity open cast …

Launching angle and launching velocity of flyrock projectile for each blast of all the limestone mines under the study with appropriate symbols are shown in Table 1, Table 2. The flyrock distances have been calculated using general trajectory formula ( Richards and Moore, 2004 ): (1) R fc = v 0 2 sin ( 2 θ 0) g.
