Mining methods:
Mine later shallow-hole filling (浅孔留矿嗣后充填)
Sub-section later filling(分段空场嗣后充填)
The gradient of the slope is about 15%. The
distance between the pipeline entrance and the
backfill field is about 1,500 meters to 2,000
meters. The sketch map is shown as follows.

2.1.3 Calculation method of System Lifting Efficiency
and Energy Consumption
Es = Qs [(rs − rw ) ⋅ Lb + rs La ] *
Em = Qm ⋅ (ΔP − rw Lb ) * *
La Qs
In formula (**), La>>Lb, ≈0,and
Lb Qm= CV,
ΔP −1= i
rw Lb t
,
so which can be shorten as: rs
rw − 1
η = C v [ ]
it
Calculation of unit energy consumption of nodule
lifting
N = H ⋅ Qm rw /102
When the volume flow is Qm,the sum nodule lifting Gs in
every hour is :
G s = Q s ⋅ rs
Where the unit of Gs is t/h. So for sea trail exploitation,
Gs=30t/h;while for industrial trail exploitation,Gs=
428t/h.
Per unit energy consumption W
N H Q m rw
W = =

For D, because of
Qm = Vm ⋅ π D 2

After unification of the unit, we get,

In all, the proposed industrial exploitation lifting system should use the
optimize parameters as:
D=497mm, CV=15%,Vm=2.0m/s,it=0.174,W=7.98kwh/t,η=84.58%,
