Optimization and application of blasting parameters based on the "pushing-wall" mechanism

The large structure parameter of a sublevel caving method was used in Beiminghe iron mine. The ores were generally lower than the medium hardness and easy to be driUed and blasted. However, the questions of boulder yield, ＂pushing-wall＂ accident rate, and brow damage rate were not effectively controlled in practical blasting. The model test of a similar material shows that the charge concentration of bottom blastholes in the sector is too high; the pushing wall is the fundamental reason for the poor blasting effect. One of the main methods to adjust the explosive distribution is to increase the length of charged blastholes. Therefore, the field tests with respect to increasing the length of uncharged blastholes were made in 12# stope of-95 subsection and 6# stope of Beiminghe iron mine. This paper took the test result of 12# stope as an example to analyze the impact of charge structure on blasting effect and design an appropriate blasting parameter that is to similar to No. 12 stope.

Mechanism of trifluoromethylation reactions with well-defined NHC copper trifluoromethyl complexes and iodobenzene:A computational exploration

Computational calculation was performed to investigate the mechanism of trifluoromethylation reactions of iodobenzene with well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene （NHC）-supported Cu~ trifiuor- omethyl complexes. Four proposed reaction pathways, namely cr-bond metathesis （BM）, concerted oxidative addition-reductive elimination （OARE）, iodine atom transfer （IAT） and single-electron transfer （SET）, have been computed by density functional theory （DFT）. The result indicated that the concerted OARE mechanism is favored among the four reaction pathways, suggesting the trifluoromethylation may occur via concerted OARE mechanism involving Ar-X oxidative addition to the Cu（1） center as the rate determining step.

An easy route to exotic 9-epimers of 9-amino-(9-deoxy) cinchona alkaloids with(8S,9R) and(8R,9S)-configurations through two inversions of configuration

Four exotic chiral organocatalysts, 9-amino-（9-deoxy） cinchona alkaloids with （8S, 9R） and （8R, 9S）- configurations, were conveniently synthesized for the first time in 27-72% total yields through two conversions of configuration at the 9-stereogenic centers of commercially available cinchona alkaloids.
