Numerical Simulation of the Deep Mining of Phosphate Ore Body Based on Digital Image Processing

Abstract:

Based on digital image processing, use Matlab mathematical software to write Flac3D modeling interface program, and suppress noise transported from CAD software, for establishing numerical simulation model rapidly. With the No.59 exploration line profile picture of Yunnan Phosphate Group Jinning mine as the object of study, which is transformed from the open pit to deep underground mining, to establish Flac3D model mined with the way of room and pillar method study, it shows that: (1) using the method of multi-threshold segmentation, build the appropriate mask to suppress image noise effectively; (2) with controlling the horizontal grid cell size, achieve uniform mesh of the model; mesh at the strata border with the triangular grid, for weakening the jagged edges; (3) as the stopes excavated gradually, the movement extent of roof and floor is increasing influenced by mining; the roof is relatively stable, while the stress concentration factor of room pillars is bigger, therefore some measures should be taken to prevent the mine wall caving. The numerical simulation results provide a reference for the design feasibility study of phosphate mining and have a guiding significance for parameter optimization as well.
