According to the specific conditions of the Sangaredi bauxite deposit, that is, the rock hardness coefficient is between 3 and 6, and there is a clayey zone in the bauxite mining area, it is necessary to carry out blasting work before mining. This article mainly analyzes and optimizes the blasting practice of the Sangaredi open pit bauxite mine. The subject was finally extended to the reduction of nuisances due to blasting, that is to say essentially due to vibrations: this presupposed a study around the vibration data available, and the proposal of methods to limit these vibrations. The bottom conditions of the Sangaredi bauxite ore zone are studied. Bauxite reserves are very rich and the market is huge. The analysis of mine blasting practices, mainly the types of explosives, the selection and analysis of explosives and blasting equipment and choosing the mode of longitudinal blasting, the link of the blasting site of the mining area, further study the optimization of mining blasting practice, the choice of drilling and process to determine reasonable blasting parameters, which improving the drilling method. The experimental results show that this optimization scheme improves efficiency blasting of the bauxite mine but also promotes an increase in production.展开更多

Test results show that the mitigation effect of water filled plastic wall is remarkable. The maximum reduction of peak reflected overpressure reaches up to 94.53%, as well as 36.3% of the minimum peak reflected overpressure reduction in the scaled distance ranging from 1.71 m/kg1/3 to 3.42 m/kg1/3. Parametric studies were also carried out. The effects of the scaled gauge height, water/charge scaled distance(the distance between the explosive charge and the water wall), water wall scaled height and water/structure scaled distance(the distance between the water wall and the structure) were systematically investigated and compared with the usual rigid anti-blast wall. It is concluded that these parameters affect the mitigation effects of plastic water wall on blast loadings significantly, which is basically consistent to the trend of usual rigid anti-blast wall. Some formulae are also derived based on the numerical and test results, providing a simple but reliable prediction model to evaluate the peak overpressure of mitigated blast loadings on the structures.展开更多
