Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår en fremgangsmåte for å modifisere flytehastigheten The present invention relates to a method for modifying the flow rate

i industrielt produsert is. in industrially produced ice cream.

I gruvedrift skilles det mellom dagbrudd og undergrunnsdrift, og ved utvinning av materialer is sistnevnte tilfelle vil det oppstå problemer med oppstøtting av fjellet som står igjen etter utvinningen. Uten at særskilte forholdsregler for oppstøtting av fjellet tas i bruk kan bare en viss mengde materiale tas ut. In mining, a distinction is made between open pit mining and underground mining, and when extracting materials in the latter case, problems will arise with propping up the rock that remains after the extraction. Without special precautions for propping up the rock, only a certain amount of material can be removed.

Flere fremgangsmåter kan benyttes for å støtte opp et gruverom, som for eksempel: gjensetting av pilarer (fester) av selve fjellmaterialet, pilarer av tømmer, betong, Several methods can be used to support a mine room, such as: replacing pillars (fixtures) of the rock material itself, pillars of timber, concrete,

stål osv. har blitt benyttet. Videre har fremgangsmåten med å fylle gruverommet med stein, grus, rester fra anrikning av utvunnet malm osv. vært benyttet. steel etc. have been used. Furthermore, the method of filling the mine space with stone, gravel, residues from the enrichment of mined ore, etc. has been used.

Fra norsk patent 126 092 er det kjent en fremgangsmåte for oppstøtting av side-og/eller hengefjell i gruverom ved bruk av is som oppstøttingsmateriale. Det er beskrevet en fremgangsmåte der ismassen bringes til å flyte inn suksessivt direkte under primær brytning etter hvert som foranliggende, respektive underliggende, malm utsprenges og fjernes. I denne fremgangsmåten benyttes i tillegg til isens trykkfasthet, også dens evne til plastisk flytning under statisk trykk. From Norwegian patent 126 092, a method is known for propping up side and/or overhanging rocks in mining rooms using ice as propping material. A method is described in which the ice mass is made to flow in successively directly during primary mining as the preceding or underlying ore is blasted out and removed. In this method, in addition to the compressive strength of the ice, its ability to plastic flow under static pressure is also used.

I WO 80/00361 er det beskrevet en fremgangsmåte der vannet kan tilsettes materiale som øker is styrken. Det tilsatte materialet kan være finkornet eller fibret, og det er videre angitt at is styrken øker med avtagende korn størrelse på det tilsatte materialet, for eksempel kan avfall fra mineraloppredningsanlegg benyttes. In WO 80/00361, a method is described in which material can be added to the water which increases the ice strength. The added material can be fine-grained or fibrous, and it is further stated that the ice strength increases with decreasing grain size of the added material, for example, waste from mineral processing plants can be used.

Til bruk i gruver vil isens egenskaper være av avgjørende betydning for anvendelsen. Egenskaper som er viktige for anvendelsen av is i gruver er dens flytningsevne, trykkfasthet, høye smeltevarme og dens evne til å fryse sammen deler til en enhet. Videre er det i prinsippet to måter å fremstille is på der man enten bruker naturlig eller industriell kulde i fremstillingen. For use in mines, the properties of the ice will be of decisive importance for the application. Properties that are important for the use of ice in mines are its fluidity, compressive strength, high heat of fusion and its ability to freeze together parts into a unit. Furthermore, there are in principle two ways of producing ice, where you either use natural or industrial cold in the production.

Is kan som kjent bestå av rent vann eller den kan inneholde fast materiale eller andre tilsetninger og forurensinger som vil være av betydning for isens egenskaper. Isens trykkfasthet øker med lavere temperaturer og med innblanding av fast materiale. Egenskapene avhenger av hva slags is som benyttes for eksempel ren is, As is well known, ice can consist of pure water or it can contain solid material or other additives and contaminants that will be of importance to the ice's properties. The compressive strength of ice increases with lower temperatures and with the addition of solid material. The properties depend on the type of ice used, for example pure ice,

is omvandlet fra snø, granulert eller skivet is, innehold av fast materiale eller ulike andre tilsetninger eller forurensinger. ice converted from snow, granulated or sliced ice, solids content or various other additives or contaminants.

Isens flytningsevne er avhengig av mange faktorer slik som, temperatur, trykk, innblanding av fast materiale (mengde og type), innhold av oppløste stoffer som for eksempel salter. The flowability of ice depends on many factors such as temperature, pressure, mixing of solid material (quantity and type), content of dissolved substances such as salts.

For å kunne anvende is i gruvedrift må isens egenskaper være forutsigbar, og det er behov for en fremgangsmåte for å fremstille is med ønskede tilrettelagte egenskaper til bruk i gruvedrift. In order to be able to use ice in mining, the ice's properties must be predictable, and there is a need for a method to produce ice with the desired adapted properties for use in mining.

Den foreliggende oppfinnelsen tilveiebringer således en fremgangsmåte for å modifisere flyteevnen til industrielt produsert is. The present invention thus provides a method for modifying the flowability of industrially produced ice.

I utgangspunktet vil det benyttes såkalt "temperert is" i fremgangsmåten. Med "temperert is" menes det is med smeltetemperatur ved det aktuelle trykket i isen. Is av ferskvann som er stengt inne i et gruverom vil ha en potensiell flytehastighet som øker med trykket (ishøyden) i potens omtrent 3,2. Isen vil derfor flyte inn i, fylle og støtte opp sideveggen i gruverommet etter hvert som materialet (malm eller mineraler) blir produsert og transportert ut av gruverommet. Ved å produsere større mengder is, og derved øke trykket, er det mulig å øke flytehastigheten for isen og tilpasse dennes egenskaper til de enkelte gruvenes spesifikke behov. Initially, so-called "tempered ice" will be used in the procedure. "Tempered ice" means ice with a melting temperature at the current pressure in the ice. Ice of fresh water that is closed in a mine compartment will have a potential flow velocity that increases with the pressure (ice height) to the power of approximately 3.2. The ice will therefore flow into, fill and support the side wall in the mine room as the material (ore or minerals) is produced and transported out of the mine room. By producing larger quantities of ice, and thereby increasing the pressure, it is possible to increase the flow rate of the ice and adapt its properties to the specific needs of the individual mines.

I gruverom med liten dybde under dagoverflaten er det vanskelig å generere ønsket In mine rooms with little depth below the day surface, it is difficult to generate the desire

ishøyde til å gi ønsket og nødvendig flytehastighet. Det er kjent at is av saltvann (havis) har høyere flytehastighet enn is av ferskvann. Det er videre kjent at is som inneholder sand, treflis eller andre faste partikler har lavere flytehastighet enn ren is. Partikkel innholdet kan være i området fra 2 til 60% ice height to give the desired and necessary flow rate. It is known that ice from salt water (sea) has a higher flow rate than ice from fresh water. It is also known that ice containing sand, wood chips or other solid particles has a lower flow rate than pure ice. The particle content can be in the range from 2 to 60%

Ved tilsetning av kjemikalier som endrer de fysiske egenskapene til vannet som benyttes i industriell fremstilling av is, vil egenskapene for den fremstilte isen endres. Således, kan flytehastigheten for is ved et gitt trykk økes ved tilsetning av ulike kjemikalier. Ved nøyaktig dosering av tilsetningen kan flytehastigheten for isen reguleres etter ønske og behov på det enkelte anvendelses sted. By adding chemicals that change the physical properties of the water used in the industrial production of ice, the properties of the produced ice will change. Thus, the flow rate of ice at a given pressure can be increased by adding various chemicals. By accurately dosing the additive, the flow speed of the ice can be regulated according to the wishes and needs of the individual application site.

Aktuelle og effektive tilsetningskjemikalier som kan anvendes i den foreliggende oppfinnelsen kan være valgt fra gruppen som består av: alkoholer, estere, karboksyl syrer (for eksempel eddiksyre), ligning, flokkuleringsmidler (som for eksempel lesket kalk), dispergeringsmidler (som for eksempel bentonitt), flotasjonsmidler for sulfid-, oksid-, og ikke metalliske mineraler (som for eksempel xanthater), løsningsmidler (som for eksempel svovelsyre og lut), metallsalter, mineraloljer, organiske oljer eller harpikser, sukker, sakkarider, syrer og baser, såper, vaskemidler, detergenter, vann myknere og vann herdere. Current and effective additive chemicals that can be used in the present invention can be selected from the group consisting of: alcohols, esters, carboxylic acids (for example acetic acid), lye, flocculating agents (such as slaked lime), dispersants (such as bentonite) , flotation agents for sulphide, oxide and non-metallic minerals (such as xanthates), solvents (such as sulfuric acid and lye), metal salts, mineral oils, organic oils or resins, sugar, saccharides, acids and bases, soaps, detergents , detergents, water softeners and water hardeners.

Mengden av tilsatt kjemikalie vil kunne variere fra omkring 1 gram til omkring 10 kilogram per m<3> vann. Tilleggskostnadene ved tilsetning av kjemikalier vil derfor være moderate per m3 produsert is. The amount of added chemical can vary from around 1 gram to around 10 kilograms per m<3> of water. The additional costs for adding chemicals will therefore be moderate per m3 of ice produced.

Flere av de ovenfor nevnte tilsetningskjemikaliene er også vanlig brukt som hjelpestoffer i de oppredningsprosessene som de fleste malmer og mineraler blir underkastet før de bringes til markedet. Det er av betydning at kjemikaliene som tilsettes isen velges slik at de ikke innvirker på oppredningen, og at de i den grad de innvirker på oppredningen har en positiv og ønsket effekt. Several of the above-mentioned additive chemicals are also commonly used as auxiliaries in the preparation processes to which most ores and minerals are subjected before they are brought to market. It is important that the chemicals that are added to the ice are chosen so that they do not affect the build-up, and that to the extent that they do affect the build-up, they have a positive and desired effect.

Fremstillingen av is kan utføres ved velkjente fremgangsmåter på fagområdet. For eksempel kan isen i en utforming av oppfinnelsen fremstilles ved bruk av vannkanon, der vannkanonen finfordeler vann i kald luft slik at vannet fryser til is eller snø før det faller ned i et magasin. Magasinet kan for eksempel være dagåpningen for den aktuelle gruva. The production of ice can be carried out by well-known methods in the field. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, the ice can be produced using a water cannon, where the water cannon finely distributes water in cold air so that the water freezes into ice or snow before it falls into a magazine. The magazine can, for example, be the day opening for the mine in question.

I en alternativ utforming av oppfinnelsen blir vann finfordelt med sprinkler dyser i kald luft. En fordel med dette alternativet er et lavere kraftforbruk per m<3> fremstilt is. Ulempen er lavere kapasitet, men dette kan være tilstrekkelig i mindre gruver eller ved gjenopptaking av drift i gamle gruver. In an alternative design of the invention, water is finely distributed with sprinkler nozzles in cold air. An advantage of this option is a lower power consumption per m<3> of ice produced. The disadvantage is lower capacity, but this may be sufficient in smaller mines or when resuming operations in old mines.

I en annen utforming av oppfinnelsen kan en standard snøkanon av den typen som brukes i alpinanlegg anvendes for fremstilling av is eller snø. Fordelen med en slik snøkanon er at den kan produsere snø og is ved høyere lufttemperatur enn i de andre utformingene. I slike snøkanoner anvendes trykkluft noe som øker kraftforbruket og derved også kostnadene ved fremstilling av is. In another design of the invention, a standard snow cannon of the type used in alpine resorts can be used for the production of ice or snow. The advantage of such a snow cannon is that it can produce snow and ice at a higher air temperature than in the other designs. In such snow cannons, compressed air is used, which increases power consumption and thereby also the costs of making ice.
