浸矿条件下溶液细观渗流机制及演变规律

Solution mining is an important technology for the treatment of low-grade and complexity metal ores in our country. Leaching efficiency and leaching rate is restricted seriously by the poor solution permeability during the leaching process. Compared with traditional research method which focuses on static ore pile in a macroscopic level, this project pays exhaustive attention to the meso-scale flow inside the pile and its coupled mechanism with leaching reaction: Firstly, the nuclear imaging technology with high resolution is used for obtaining the numerical model of heap microstructure before and after leaching. Secondly, particle image velocimetry and nuclear imaging velocimetry are combined to measure mesoscopic seepage field between the ore particles. Reveals the effections of particle size distribution, sprinkling rate, pore size and connectivity on solution mesoscopic seepage. Thirdly, solution flow experiment under the condition of leaching reaction is carried out. The heap permeability and solution flow velocity under condition of mineral dissolution and solute precipitation are measured to reveal the effection of pore evolution on the solution mesoscopic flow. Finally, relation model between leaching rate, porosity and flow velocity is established. The key influence factor influencing the solution mesoscopic seepage is investigated by using the multiphysics analysis software. Optimization and control mechanism of mesocopic seepage environment within the dump is put forward. Overall, theoretical basis will be provided to optimize the flow process inside the heap by this research.
