Abstract

With the continuous innovation and development of science and technology, the mining industry has also benefited greatly and improved over time, especially in the field of backfill mining. Mining researchers are increasingly working on cutting-edge technologies, such as applying artificial intelligence to mining production. However, in addition, some problems in the actual engineering are worth people’s attention, and especially in China, such a big mining country, the actual engineering faces many problems. In recent years, Chinese mining researchers have conducted a lot of studies on practical engineering problems in the stope and goaf of backfill mining method in China, among which the three most important points are (1) Calculation problems of backfill slurry transportation; (2) Reliability analysis of backfill pipeline system; (3) Stope backfill process and technology. Therefore, this final part (Part III) will launch the research progress of China’s practical engineering problems from the above two points. Finally, we claim that Part III serves just as a guide to starting a conversation, and hope that many more experts and scholars will be interested and engage in the research of this field.

Summary

Introduction

With the continuous development of mining technology, mining efficiency is greatly improved, mining safety is improved, mining industry prosperously develops, and mining industry prospects are bright. Since the 21st century, China has focused on the development of the backfill (filling) mining method, in order to improve the efficiency and safety of mining production. In China, mining researchers define the whole backfill (or filling) process in stope (or goaf) as follows [9]: After the qualified filling slurry is prepared on the surface, it is. As China is a mining power with many mines in different engineering situations, many Chinese researchers have made a lot of effort and research on the practical problems in stope filling [10,11]. As the last part of our series (Part I introduced the research on backfill pipeline transportation in China, Part II introduced the backfill systems and examples in China), this paper, Part III, still as a medium to lead readers to China’s mining industry, focusing on the practical engineering problems, mainly introduces three aspects:.
