For our daily lives,as we all know,against landslides,mudslides and other geological disasters,people's responses can only be monitoring,prevention and countermeasures are needed.One of the most important technical means is the drilling methods.For example,through engineering investigation drilling,people can understand the overall structure of the landslide.Through anchor nails,bolt,cable,curtain grouting,soil modification,anti-slide bored piles of construction,people can prevent landslides,collapse,and other geological disasters. For geosciences,earth scientists are facing a lot of challenges.Plate tectonic theory is one of the 20th century’s major scientific achievements.The continental drift assumptions put forward in the early 20th century,but until 1968,the'Geluoma?Challenger'ocean drilling vessel belong to United States had drilled several hundred holes in the ocean,the theory of seafloor spreading and plate subduction model has been confirmed directly by drilling.However,many problems cannot be explained by'Plate theory'on land.A continental dynamics theory is initiating and developing based on the internal driving force of continent.This heralded a landmark geological revolution is coming soon. At the same time,the 21st century human survival and development resources,the environment and disaster reduction,and other issues need to be addressed urgently.All of this requires us to understand the deep Earth,and the only direct means of direct observation of the Earth's continental crust is'Continental Scientific Drilling'. Geological samples,especially those from deep of the Earth,are the most direct study subjects for geologists.But the only way to access the true samples from deep of the earth is drilling.The most direct evidence always originated from the deep of the earth,such as core,cuttings,fluid samples and other physical samples.This is also true for ophiolite researches. Continental scientific drilling has been demonstrated as an efficient technique for directly obtaining information from the Earth’s surface to the deep crust,and is acknowledged as'to build a telescope inserting to the interior of the Earth',as well as'a key for opening the door of the Earth'.Over the past four decades,continental scientific drilling has achieved great success in enhancing our knowledge of the Earth,and in providing information on mineral resources,large engineering projects and global change.These benefits also relate to ophiolite research. Along with China's Brahmaputra River intermittently distributed ophiolite sets.Its distribution in Tibet is more than 1,000 kilometres long and extends along the Brahmaputra and the Indian Ocean to Myanmar and Pakistan.We have completed a number of coring holes along this ophiolite belt in recent years.The cores were collected from these holes provide geologists with real physical samples coring from the depths of the earth,which have played a significant role in deepening their ophiolite research.And the coring drilling projects along this ophiolite belt will be continue for years,to continue to provide geologists enough ophiolite real samples for their researches. No advanced drilling technology,no enough high quality samples from the deep Earth,the in-depth ophiolite research will be restricted(Zhang et al.,2013).展开更多

This parameter has a direct impact on the mine planning and cost of mining operations, Generally, effective parameters on the penetration rate is divided into two classes： rock mass properties and specifications of the machine, The chemical components of intact rock have a direct effect in determining rock mechan- ical properties, Theses parameters usually have not been investigated in any research on the rock drill- ability, In this study, physical and mechanical properties of iron ore were studied based on the amount of magnetite percent, According to the results of the tests, the effective parameters on the pen- etration rate of the rotary drilling machines were divided into three classes： specifications of the machi- nes, rock mass properties and chemical component of intact rock, Then, the rock drillahility was studied using rock engineering systems, The results showed that feed, rotation, rock mass index and iron oxide percent have important effect on penetration rate, Then a quadratic equation with 0,896 determination coefficient has been obtained, Also, the results showed that chemical components can he described as new parameters in rotary drill penetration rate,展开更多

Its rock-breaking performance is first compared with that of a high-pressure water jet under the same operation conditions. The effects of five major factors that affect the rock-breaking performance of the high-pressure SC-CO2 jet, i.e., the nozzle diameter, the standoff distance, the jet pressure, the rock compressive strength and the jet temperature are experimentally determined. The experimental results indicate that the rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet is significantly improved over the high-pressure water jet. It is also found that the rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet is improved with the increase of the nozzle diameter or the standoff distance, until the nozzle diameter or the standoff distance reaches a certain critical value and after that it begins to deteriorate. The rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet improves monotonically with the increase of the jet pressure, while it shows a monotonic deterioration with the increase of the rock compressive strength. In addition, it is found that, under the same working conditions, the SC-CO2 jet can always provide a better rock-breaking performance than the subcritical liquid CO2 jet.展开更多

文摘In this study, a well-designed experimental setup is used to determine the rock-breaking performance of a high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide （SC-CO2） jet. Its rock-breaking performance is first compared with that of a high-pressure water jet under the same operation conditions. The effects of five major factors that affect the rock-breaking performance of the high-pressure SC-CO2 jet, i.e., the nozzle diameter, the standoff distance, the jet pressure, the rock compressive strength and the jet temperature are experimentally determined. The experimental results indicate that the rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet is significantly improved over the high-pressure water jet. It is also found that the rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet is improved with the increase of the nozzle diameter or the standoff distance, until the nozzle diameter or the standoff distance reaches a certain critical value and after that it begins to deteriorate. The rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet improves monotonically with the increase of the jet pressure, while it shows a monotonic deterioration with the increase of the rock compressive strength. In addition, it is found that, under the same working conditions, the SC-CO2 jet can always provide a better rock-breaking performance than the subcritical liquid CO2 jet.
