Description

ROTARY JET-GROUTING MODULAR RARE-EARTH MINING PROCESS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a process for mining ion-adsorption type rare-earth ore, in particular to a rotary jet-grouting modular rare-earth mining process.
DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART [0002] China is the country with the most abundant rare-earth resources in the world, and generally known for the name of “Kingdom of Rare Earth”, wherein heavy rare earth mainly exists in the south, and light rare earth mainly exists in the north. Rare-earth mineral products of China not only have great reserves, but also have many varieties, good quality and unique ore deposit type.
[0003] Ion-adsorption type rare-earth ore, also called as weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore, is a rare-earth mineral which exists in the form of “ion phase” mineral and is adsorbed to a “carrier” mineral surface. A vast majority of rare earths in the rare-earth mineral exist in the state of cation, and are adsorbed to a certain mineral carrier, for example, adsorbed to aluminum silicate minerals or fluorocarbonate minerals such as kaolinite and muscovite. The ion-adsorption type rare-earth ore is an ore body composing of “ion-adsorption type rear-earth minerals”, while the rare-earth ore in the south essentially belongs to the ion-adsorption type rare-earth ore.
[0004] At present, the mining process of the ion-adsorption type rare-earth ore substantially adopts a conventional in-situ leaching mining process, in which a shaft network is directly arranged on ore body without damaging ground vegetation of the ore body, stripping topsoil, and excavating and carrying the ore, and an electrolyte solution capable of exchanging rare earth ions is injected into the ore body by using a series of shallow shafts (troughs) to allow the rare earth ions to be exchanged and desorbed with it, and then wait for collection of mother liquor, wherein a liquor collecting system in a stope substantially adopts liquor collecting ditches at mountain foot for collection, as a result, the diffusion of the mother liquor in the ore body is hard to control.
[0005] Existing in-situ leaching mining processes have the following deficiencies:
[0006] a. Because of non-uniformity of permeability coefficient of each part in the mountain due to the structure of the mountain, using the same process to inject the solution at the same time leads to less solution permeability at places with smaller permeability coefficient, and most of the solution permeating along soil layers with higher permeability coefficient in the mountain. In order to leach the rare earths in the soil layers with smaller permeability coefficient, it is necessary to inject a large amount of the solution and treated waste water, resulting in an excess of the solution and the treated waste water at places with higher permeability coefficient.
[0007] b. in a certain time, amount of cations adsorbed is proportional to time, that is, the longer the time is, the more cations are adsorbed. When the thickness of the ore deposit exceeds a certain thickness, or the permeability coefficient of the soil layer is very small, it takes a long time for the solution injected from a liquor injecting hole to permeate into a tunnel at the bottom of the ore deposit, resulting in a large amount of ions adsorbed to the soil layer above the tunnel. To completely leach the bottom ore deposit, injection of a large amount of the solution is required, resulting in an increase in the amount of water used, which in turn causes a lower grade of the rare earths in the rare-earth solution flowing into the tunnel, leading to a higher production cost.
[0008] c. Due to dominant orientation of the solution diffusion, a large amount of the solution injected from the liquor injecting hole reaches the liquor collecting system at the mountain foot from the mountain top along a path with larger cracks and lower resistance. In the later stage of leaching, it is easy to form an inherent large-crack solution flow channel in the ore body, leading to greatly reduced leaching effect. That is also the reason why, although some rare earth ores are judged to be completely mined according to the concentration of the leached mother liquor, after a period of time, the mother liquor with higher grade would still be obtained by re-leaching. That is, a crack structure in the ore body changes after initial mining is ended, and blind zones of the cracks in the previous mining process are leached during the solution re-diffusion process.
[0009] Therefore, in the existing in-situ leaching mining processes, it is difficult to define standards about whether the ore body is completely leached and it is hard to form a systematic recovery of resources. The production process is relatively extensive, leading to relatively low recovery rate of resources and low concentration of the mother liquor formed, which makes the extraction process more difficult.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, such as uncontrolled permeation direction of extraction solution in an ore body and difficulty to leach partial ore body, the present invention provides a rotary jet-grouting modular rare-earth mining process. The mining process is a systematic modular rare-earth leaching mining technology which is capable of increasing recovery concentration of a mother liquor and reducing the amount of the extraction solution used, so as to realize modular systematic efficient recovery of rare earth resources.
[0011] A technical solution which is adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems thereof comprises the following steps:
1) ascertaining an ore deposit, wherein distribution of a rare-earth ore deposit and thickness of the ore deposit in a mountain are ascertained; 2) performing grid unit module division on an ore body at top of the mine, so as to form several mining unit modules; 3) arranging jet flow drill holes in the mountain of each mining unit module, wherein depths of the jet flow drill holes reach bottom of a rich ore deposit from a topsoil; 4) arranging drill holes at junction of the bottom of the rich ore deposit and a lean ore deposit according to run of a lode, so as to form a plurality of mother liquor collecting channels, wherein each of the mother liquor collecting channels is in communication with the jet flow drill holes below the several mining unit modules; 5) arranging a liquor collecting manifold outside the mountain, wherein the liquor collecting manifold is located below ports of the mother liquor collecting channels and arranged obliquely along the mountain, and the liquor collecting manifold is connected to ports of all liquor collecting pipes and flows to mountain foot; 6) arranging the liquor collecting pipes in the mother liquor collecting channels, wherein the liquor collecting pipes are provided with circles of small holes in circumferential direction at a certain interval and are wrapped with 3-4 layers of linen at the small holes, one end of each of the liquor collecting pipes is sealed and extends deeply to bottom of the corresponding mother liquor collecting channel, the other end of each of the liquor collecting pipes is connected to the liquor collecting manifold, and the end of each of the mother liquor collecting channels facing the liquor collecting manifold is tamped and sealed with clay between each of the mother liquor collecting channels and the corresponding liquor collecting pipe; and 7) sending a hydraulic rock-breaking drill bit into each of the jet flow drill holes at a position which is 0.4 m away from hole bottom, inputting a high-pressure extraction solution, rotating the hydraulic rock-breaking drill bit at high speed to cut the surrounding rare-earth ore body, gradually lifting the hydraulic rock-breaking drill bit up to top of the rich ore deposit, so as to form a cylindrical slurry-state rare-earth ore body in each of the jet flow drill holes, then agitating and leaching the slurry-state rare-earth ore body by moving the hydraulic rock-breaking drill bit up and down to form the to-be-collected mother liquor, and pooling the mother liquor into the liquor collecting manifold via the lower mother liquor collecting channels and liquor collecting pipes, so as to complete collection of the mother liquor.
[0012] Compared with the existing in-situ leaching mining processes, the rotary jet-grouting modular rare-earth mining process of the present invention utilizes mining unit modules to divide a rare-earth ore body to perform grid module division on the rare-earth ore body, thereby preventing extraction solution from flowing ineffectively along large cracks in the rare-earth ore body, and greatly increasing recovery rate of rare earth ions in the ore body; furthermore, jet flow drill holes are drilled in the mining unit modules, the jet flow drill holes extend deeply to bottom of a rich ore deposit, the extraction solution is applied on the rare-earth ore body in the jet flow drill holes in a manner of high-pressure jet flow to crush and pulpify the ore body from the bottom of the rich ore deposit. By gradually lifting drill bit up to top of the rich ore deposit, cylindrical slurry-state rare-earth ore body is formed, and then, the slurry-state ore body is agitated and leached by a disk-shaped high-pressure jet flow ring formed by the extraction solution through moving the drill bit up and down, to obtain the final mother liquor. The mother liquor is a mixture of the slurry-state rare-earth ore body and the high-pressure extraction solution, wherein the smaller the mineral particles are, the larger the mineral extraction surface area is, and therefore, extraction efficiency is higher than that of liquid mother liquor obtained by existing electrolyte solution ion replacement, and resources can be systematically, efficiently and gradually recovered. The leaching of the slurry-state ore body provides increased concentration of the mother liquor, greatly increased production of the rare earths, and also higher grade of the rare earths contained in the mother liquor. Moreover, since in the above process of forming the mother liquor, a high-pressure water jet flow formed by the extraction solution is directly used to cut the ore body and meanwhile, the rare-earth mineral is agitated, pulpified and extracted by moving the jet flow drill bit up and down, the leaching speed is fast, the amount of the extraction solution used is reduced, and the mining speed is accelerated. The mother liquor is pooled into a liquor collecting manifold via lower liquor collecting pipes, so as to complete collection of the mother liquor. During the implementation process, according to effluent concentrations of the liquor collecting pipes, the injection amount of the extraction solution may be adjusted, and it may be defined whether the ore body of the mining unit is sufficiently extracted, thereby controlling the ineffective flow of the extraction solution and blind injection, and controlling the amount of the extraction solution used according to design requirements in a timely manner. In summary, the present invention can greatly reduce the electricity consumption, labor cost and raw material consumption needed per ton of rare-earth products, and has remarkable economic benefits.
