Reduction of Fragment Size from Mining to Mineral …
2.1 Energy. Rock drilling, blasting, and comminution (crushing and grinding) consume a vast amount of energy in hard rock mines. As mentioned in Sect. 1, statistics from hard rock mines indicates that drilling and blasting consumes 2% and comminution does 53% of the total energy input in the whole production chain from mining to mineral …

Effect of Type of Explosive and Blast Hole Diameter on
Rock fragmentation due to blasting depends upon many parameters. The properties of the explosive are one of them. In limestone quarries, ammonium nitrate–fuel oil (ANFO) or site mixed emulsion (SME) are generally used for rock fragmentation. Both these explosives cause substantial changes in the breakage mechanism of rockmass …

A deep learning approach for rock fragmentation analysis
A deep neural network (DNN) architecture was used to predict characteristic sizes of rock fragments from a 2D image of a muckpile. The data set used for training the DNN model is composed of 61,853 labelled images of blasted rock fragments. An exclusive data set of 1,263 labelled images were used to test the DNN model.
