Salt Lake deposit mining technology

Of Salt Lake deposits are mainly distributed in Qinghai, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, mainly solid deposit of salt resources in Salt Lake halite, Glauber's salt, trona, gypsum, carnallite, sylvite, bischofite column Borate , sodium borate, water boron and so on. Liquid deposits containing potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, boron, lithium, bromide, iodide, rubidium, cesium, uranium and other elements. The development and utilization of salt lake mineral resources plays an important role in the national economy.
    First, the characteristics of the salt lake deposit
The modern salt lake deposit is a deposit formed by the accumulation of soluble salts, the concentration of mineralized water and the deposition of salt minerals since the Quaternary. It is divided into solid deposits and liquid (brine) deposits according to the output state of the ore bodies. Two major categories. Solid deposits, according to the geological and hydrogeological conditions generated, include lake chemical deposition, lake sediment deposition, mineralized water redeposition and secondary fissure filling. Liquid deposits, according to the conditions of brine, there are surface brine mines, intercrystalline brine mines and pore brine mines.
Compared with other deposits, the salt lake deposit has the following main features:
(1) Most of the salt lake solids and liquid mines are co-located in a unified geological body, which can be transformed by hydrological and climatic factors. For example, on the northeastern shore of Dabson Lake in Qinghai, the summer lake water is concentrated with new carnallite deposits. It can be used for mining; the lake is desalinated in winter and the carnallite is dissolved. Salt lakes in northern Adelaide, Australia, and salt lakes in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, have used this feature for seasonal mining.
(2) The variability, compensation and regenerative properties of the deposits are still continuing. The hydrogeological conditions of the mining area have special significance for the deposit. Low-mineralized water is not only the water-filling factor of the deposit, but also the source of the beneficial components. It has the duality of benefit and harm.
(3) The age of solid deposits is new, with little structural change, without induration and diagenesis, with shallow burial, softness, similar approximation level, relatively stable thickness and grade.
(4) Mineral deposits are generally symbiotic or associated with a variety of minerals, and have comprehensive development and utilization value.
(5) The water quality and quantity of liquid deposits are affected by meteorological and hydrological conditions. It has dynamic characteristics, but the water quality has horizontal and vertical differentiation. For example, in the Chaerhan Salt Lake, the phreatic level of the intercrystalline brine on the northeastern shore of Dalson Lake varies from 0.41 to 0.45 m per year. The intergranular brine of the whole salt lake is concentrated in the horizontal direction from the edge to the center, and is distributed in the form of a ring-shaped strip of stone salt water, high-potassium carnallite water and low-pressure carnallite water (Figs 1, 2, 3); brine type There is also obvious zoning, in the northern and eastern parts of the salt lake, the intergranular brine layer is uniform chloride-type water; the upper part of the south is sulfate and chloride-type brine, the middle and lower parts are chloride-type brine; the upper part of the west is magnesium sulfate. Sub-type brine, the degree of deterioration is deeper. As shown in Fig. 4, the water quality of the intergranular brine in the vertical direction is not only different in different layers, but even in the same layer. Such as 826 holes, the KCl content is 18.5 times different. It can be seen from Fig. 5 that the Na + content decreases with increasing depth, and the Mg + and Cl - contents increase with depth.

    Second, the mining method of the salt lake deposit
The solid deposit is classified into two types: the open-air method of directly extracting solid ore and the dissolution method of ore-derived solid-liquid conversion in liquid form according to the mining mode and function principle of the ore. Deposits with simple conditions and high ore grades are mined by open-air method; deposits with complex conditions and low ore grades are exploited by dissolution methods using the easy solubility of salt minerals.
The ore body is shallowly buried and soft, and is generally beneficial for mining. When using open pit mining, the development system is simple due to the small amount of stripping work (or no peeling required), and there is no need for perforation blasting in the back mining layer. Therefore, mining, loading and transportation tools play the most crucial role. The problem of water filling and mining tools in mineral deposits is also prominently reflected in the treatment of water. According to the treatment method of filling the deposit, it is divided into pre-draining mining method and non-pre-draining mining method, as listed in Table 1.

Hydraulic mechanized mining
The process of mining and transportation is mainly water. When the water pipeline is transported, the ore is dehydrated at the outlet of the pipeline.
Medium or thick deposits, dry lakes or water lakes, surface lake water or intercrystalline brines are sufficient for mining and transportation process water
Dissolved mining method for solid or liquid conversion of ore with water or other solvent
Dissolve salt minerals by using water around the deposit or pressurized water at the bottom of the lake as a medium
Pump solution with a suitable type of pump, channel or pipe transport
In-situ mineralization, the useful elements are extracted with the solution, and the water-insoluble matter such as mud and sand is piled up on the spot.
Occurrence conditions are complex, ore grade is low, direct mining can not meet the processing technology requirements, and deposits that cannot be directly mined by conventional methods
The liquid deposit mining method is divided into three types: well type, channel type and well channel combination. The channel mining method is only applicable to submerged aquifers with a buried water depth close to the surface and an aquifer thickness of less than 10 m; liquid ore with a large water depth and a large aquifer thickness is a combination of tube wells or wells. The horizontal zoning and vertical differentiation of the water quality of liquid deposits must be considered when determining the development system, the layout of the mining area, and the mining sequence. Under large-scale mining conditions, it is necessary to break the dynamic balance of brine and the chemical balance of water in the original state. Because of the fluidity and compensability of brine, the halogenated salt of different brines is aggravated. Salt formation in the formation, brine structure and equipment will bring difficulties to the extraction and transportation of brine. Therefore, water quality and quantity must be monitored and forecasted at any time; solid liquid-analytical conversion has advantages and disadvantages and should be utilized and controlled.

Flake graphite is widely used in the treatment of gold industry of advanced refractory materials and coatings. Such as magnesia carbon brick, crucible, etc. Military industrial firework material stabilizer, smelting industrial desulfurization growth agent, light industry lead pen, electric industry carbon brush, battery industry electrode, fertilizer industry catalyst and so on. The flake graphite is deeply processed, and it can produce the graphite milk for lubricant, deformable agent, drawing agent, conductive coating and so on. It can also produce expanded graphite for flexible graphite products such as flexible graphite seals and flexible graphite composite products.

dope

The flake graphite as the functional filler of coating is mainly used for anticorrosive coating, fire retardant coating and conductive coating.

As an anticorrosive material, it has anti-rust primer, such as carbon black, talcum powder and oil, which has good corrosion resistance of chemicals and solvents. If you add zinc and yellow to the formula, it is better to rust.

A graphite interlayer compound obtained from Natural Graphite scales as raw materials, chemically or electrochemically treated. Expandable graphite under the condition of heat, swelling volume (up to 300 times) suffocate the flames, at the same time generate inflation, to isolate the flame, delay or interrupt the effect of flame spread, and itself does not burn, good flexibility, high surface energy, intensity of carbonized layer. But the volume and dosage of the expansive body should be suitable. The test shows that the 150um particles, 30% expansion multiples and 5% dosage are the most suitable.

The flake graphite can be directly used as a carbon conductive filler and can be made into a composite conductive filler for conductive coatings. However, due to the large addition of graphite flake, the coating can be brittle and its application is limited. Therefore, measures are taken to further improve the conductivity of graphite and effectively reduce the amount of graphite flake. Our domestic chemical machinery research institute has developed a high temperature and corrosion resistant resin as basic material, with the strong ability of conducting electrostatic entities large flake graphite flake as the main aggregates, with high intensity of ontology Good abrasion resistance.

The coating has the characteristics of anti-corrosive media penetration, small residual stress, good anti-matrix deformation, stable construction performance and long - term conductive static. Can be used in oil tank inner wall guide electrostatic coating. With electroless plating technique, according to the data of graphite powders metallized, such as copper, nickel, silver, such as the preparation of composite conductive filler, with 30% of the amount used in conductive coating, not only its conductivity is very good, and further improve corrosion.
