固体钾盐矿尾废固结体力学特性及承载破坏特征

Mechanical property and load-bearing failure of consolidation of solid potash tailings

  • 摘要: 针对大型地下固体钾盐矿采选工艺后的固液尾废低成本利用难题,制备不同老卤浓度和卤盐比条件下的尾盐−老卤混合固结试样,开展室内单轴压缩试验和电子显微镜扫描,分析固液尾废充填体的力学特性、破坏特征和宏微观结构变化规律,查明老卤浓度和卤盐比对材料强度和破坏模式的量化影响,并借助颗粒流离散元软件反演试样破坏形式,揭示其裂隙发育规律和试样破坏过程,构建适用于尾盐−老卤结晶固结体的损伤本构模型。研究表明:尾盐−老卤固结体的结构特征、强度特性和破坏模式均受老卤浓度和卤盐比的影响,且卤盐比为绝对主导因素。卤盐比显著改变微观晶体和孔隙的分布特征,且在同离子效应和溶解−结晶循环过程中,高浓度、低卤盐比试样MgCl2晶体充填NaCl四方晶体间的孔隙,且形成晶体嵌合结构。试样峰值强度和弹性模量均随卤盐比的降低而急剧增大,而增大老卤浓度仅小幅提升;当老卤中MgCl2的质量分数为30%、卤盐比为1∶5时,固结体峰值强度达到2.50 MPa。随卤盐比减小,固结体破坏模式由劈裂张拉破坏转化为张拉−剪切复合破坏,直至塑性剪切破坏。高卤盐比(1∶2)固结体为劈裂张拉破坏,形成沿轴线且贯穿整个试样的劈裂缝;低卤盐比(1∶5)固结体上下端面微裂隙发育且发生相对位移,逐渐发育贯通为1条破坏角为40°~50°、延伸长度约为130 mm的塑性剪切带。构建了固体钾盐矿固液尾废固结体分段损伤本构模型,较好地还原了固结体的弹性变形过程,以及较准确地描述峰后应力−应变关系的变化趋势,为固体钾盐矿低成本胶结充填材料和配套充填工艺研发奠定基础。

     

    Abstract: Band Aiming at low-cost utilization of solid and liquid wastes subsequent to mining and beneficiation in underground solid potash mines, laboratory uniaxial compression tests and electron microscope scanning were conducted on tailings-brine mixed consolidation samples under various concentrations of brine and solid-liquid ratios. This study analyzed the mechanical properties, failure characteristics, and macroscopic and microscopic structural changes of the solid-liquid tailings waste filling body. It identified the quantitative impact of brine concentration and solid-liquid ratio on the strength and failure mode of the mixed material. Furthermore, the particle flow discrete element software was used to invert the failure modes of the samples, revealing the fracture development patterns and the failure process of the samples. A damage constitutive model suitable for tailings-brine crystalline consolidation bodies was constructed. The research shows that the structural characteristics, strength properties, and failure modes of the tailings-brine consolidation bodies are influenced by the brine concentration and brine-salt ratio, with the brine-salt ratio being the absolutely dominant factor. The brine-salt ratio significantly alters the distribution characteristics of microcrystals and pores. During the common-ion effect and dissolution-crystallization cycles, high-concentration, low brine-salt ratio samples exhibit MgCl2 crystals filling the pores between NaCl tetrahedral crystals, forming an interlocking crystalline structure. Both the peak strength and elastic modulus of the samples increase sharply as the brine-salt ratio decreases, while increasing the brine concentration only results in a slight enhancement. When the brine concentration is 30% and the brine-salt ratio is 1∶5, the peak strength of the consolidation body reaches 2.50 MPa. As the brine-salt ratio decreases, the failure mode of the consolidation body transitions from splitting tensile failure to tensile-shear composite failure, ultimately leading to plastic shear failure. Consolidation bodies with a high brine-salt ratio (1∶2) exhibit splitting tensile failure, forming split cracks along the axis that penetrate the entire sample. Consolidation bodies with a low brine-salt ratio (1∶5) exhibit microfracture development and relative displacement on the upper and lower end faces, gradually evolving into a plastic shear zone with a failure angle of 40° to 50° and an extension length of approximately 130 mm. A segmented damage constitutive model for solid-liquid tailings waste consolidation bodies in solid potash mines was constructed, which effectively replicates the elastic deformation process of the consolidation bodies and accurately describes the trend of post-peak stress-strain relationships. This lays the foundation for the development of low-cost cemented filling materials and supporting filling technologies for solid potash mines.
