An electronic initiation system that can support various types of field blasting works has been developed and put into practice. The newly developed equipment called Hanwha Electronic Blasting System (HEBS) II has three basic operation modes of scanning, logging, and tagging, among which the blaster can choose the most suitable one for the specific site conditions. In the present study, the work efficiency of the system in the scanning, logging and tagging modes was compared with that of the previous non-electric detonator. The results were estimated based on the aspects of the ground vibration, fragmentation, and digging time. It was found that the ground vibration, fragmentation, and digging time of the new system were decreased by about 45%, 31%, and 13%, respectively, with respect to the previous system. This result confirms that the new system is very efficient in the scanning, logging and tagging modes under the field conditions.

채석, 광물채광 등의 발파에서 생성된 파쇄 암석편들에 대한 정확한 파쇄도의 측정은 발파효율성 및 경제성을 평가하기 위한 수단으로 사용될 수 있다. 발파현장에서 파쇄도의 측정은 파쇄암석의 크기를 대상으로 이루어지며, 이러한 측정의 궁극적인 목표는 파쇄도에 대한 정확한 측정과 분석을 통하여 발파를 최적화시킴으로써 과파쇄에 의한 화약의 낭비, 과대한 암괴로 인한 운반경비의 증가, 분할을 위한 2차 발파나 추가파쇄를 위한 경비증가 등을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 선광 및 파쇄장비들의 과대한 마모방지와 품질의 균질성 확보를 위한 모니터링의 수단으로 사용될 수도 있다. 최근 파쇄도측정에 많이 사용되고 있는 기술중의 하나가 영상처리 시스템으로, 본 논문에서는 촬영조건 및 분석대상물 등의 변화에 따른 이 영상처리기법의 문제에 대한 언급보다는 영상처리기법에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 이 기법에 대한 설명과 상용 소프트웨어를 이용한 모델시험 및 채석현장에서 실시된 발파후의 파쇄암석들에 대한 파쇄도 분석에서의 문제점들에 대하여 언급하고자 한다.

It is necessary to increase the blasting efficiency in order to minimize the economic loss caused when the excavation cross section is reduced due to the stability problem of underground mining development, and for this, a new blasting design is proposed. In this study, the blasting efficiency of the general design in the field, the suggestion designI, which added two columns to production blasting, and the suggestion design II, which added one column to create asymmetry, is compared. Advance rate and fragmentation were selected as the evaluation index of the blasting efficiency. In the case of advance rate, compared to the normal, the suggestionI improved by 6.07% and the suggestionII improved by 4.65%. In the case of fragmentation, based on P80, compared to the normal, the suggestionI reduced about 58% and the suggestionII was about 47%. Accoording to the evaluation index, the suggestion designI shows better blasting efficiency than the suggestion designII. But considering the additional work time and cost required for the suggestion designI due to the insignificant difference in the evaluation index results, the asymmetry V-cut, the suggestion designII, is judged to be a more suitable blasting design for the site.

Grain size analysis have been made for the carbonate-detrital mixed sediments on the continental shelf off the southeastern coast of Korea. The detrital components are well-sorted with mean grain size between 2-3 phi. The detrital components are thought to be deposited in the beach environment during the glacial times when the sea level was low, representing typical 'relict' sediments. Most of the carbonate components consist of shell fragments, and are deeply weathered. They are also interpreted as the relict components that were deposited in the shallow marine environment. The carbonate fraction are coarser-grained and poorly sorted compared to the detrital component. The carbonate components are thought to have experienced the continuous environmental control of fragmentation and selective size sorting after the deposition.

The optimum blasting pattern to excavate a quarry efficiently and economically can be determined based on the minimum production cost which is generally estimated according to rock fragmentation. Therefore it is a critical problem to predict fragment size distribution of blasted rocks over an entire quarry. By comparing various prediction models, it can be ascertained that the result obtained from Kuz-Ram model relatively coincides with that of field measurements. Kuz-Ram model uses the concept of rock factor to signify conditions of rock mass such as block size, rock jointing, strength and others. For the evaluation of total production cost, it is imperative to estimate 3-D spatial distribution of rock factor for the entire quarry. In this study, a sequential indicator simulation technique is adopted for estimation of spatial distribution of rock factor due to its higher reproducibility of spatial variability and distribution models than Kriging methods. Further, this can reduce the uncertainty of predictor using distribution information of sample data The entire quarry is classified into three types of rock mass and optimum blasting pattern is proposed for each type based on 3-D spatial distribution of rock factor. In addition, plane maps of rock factor distribution for each ground levels is provided to estimate production costs for each process and to make a plan for an optimum blasting pattern.

일반적으로 국내 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 20ms나 25ms 시차를 가지는 지발발파로 시행되어지고 있다. 국외에서는 전자뇌관을 사용하여 암반의 지질학적인 특성에 따라 지발 시차를 사용자의 현장에 따라 선정하여, 주변 보안 물건에 따른 진동 및 소음을 경감하면서, 1회 발파의 생산량을 증대할 수 있으며, 2차 파쇄 비용 및 적재비용을 절감하는 최적의 시차를 적용하여 발파 규모를 줄이지 않는 발파패턴을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 해외에서 사용되고 있는 전자뇌관을 국내 현장 석회석 광산(단양)에 적용함으로 최적지연시차를 찾아내는 방법과 초시의 오차에 따른 문제점과 향후 국내 적용성을 판단하고자 하였다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 최적시차를 판단하고자 동일 패턴에서 시차를 6ms ~ 30ms로 시험발파를 시행하여 4가지 요소 발파진동속도, 주 주파수특성, 파쇄입도, 암석 이동 및 버력의 상태를 분석하여 각 시차에 따른 배점을 두어, 당 현장에 요구되는 개별 가중치를 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 당 현장에서의 발파결과에 따른 요소별 가중치를 발파진동속도(20), 주 주파수 특성(20), 파쇄입도(40), 암석 이동(10) 및 버력의 상태(10)로 하여 분석한 결과 15ms가 최적시차로 나타냈다. 향후 각 현장에 적합한 요소별 가중치를 선정하여 현장별 최적시차를 도출한다면 최적의 발파효과를 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The use of lithium-ion batteries increases significantly with the rapid spread of electronic devices and electric vehicle and thereby an increase in the amount of waste batteries is expected in the near future. Therefore, studies are continuously being conducted to recover various resources of cathode active material (Ni, Co, Mn, Li) from waste battery. In order to recover the cathode active material, black mass is generally recovered from waste battery. The general process of recovering black mass is a waste battery collection - discharge - dismantling - crushing - classification process. This study focus on the crushing/classification process among the processes. Specifically, the particle size distribution of various samples at each crushing/classification step were evaluated, and the particle shape of each particle fraction was analyzed with a microscope and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)-EDS(Energy Dispersive Spectrometer). As a result, among the black mass particle, fine particle less than 74 ㎛ was the mixture of cathode and anode active material which are properly liberated from the current metals. However, coarse particle larger than 100 ㎛ was present in a form in which the current metal and active material were combined. In addition, this study developed a PBM(Population Balance Model) system that can simulate two-species mixture sample with two different crushing properties. Using developed model, the breakage parameters of two species was derived and predictive performance of breakage distribution was verified.

Since the rock fragmentation by blasting can affect the subsequent processes including loading, hauling and secondary crushing, its control is essential for the assessment of blasting efficiency as well as production cost. In this study, we were analyzed the rock fragmentation by the direction of artificial joint. The underground blasting experiments were performed after forming the vertical and horizontal artificial joints. The blast fragmentation was conducted by the split-desktop which is a 2D image processing program. As a result, it was found that the horizontal artificial joint was evaluated to have lower overall the size of muck pile than the vertical artificial joint and the distribution of the size of muck pile was varied. It is possible that the direction of artificial joint could suppress the occur of oversize muck pile and control to a certain size or less.

A large amount of recycled aggregates was produced and crushed from old buildings and pavements. In this study, when these aggregates are re-used in subbase or subgrade materials in near construction sites, their engineering characteristics caused by crushing are investigated in terms of permeability and shear strength. Three different sizes of aggregates (31.5-45.0 mm, 19.0-31.5 mm, 9.5-19.0 mm) and their mixtures, a total of 7 types of aggregates were used in compaction tests (modified D and B methods). After compaction tests, aggregates were sieved and analyzed with four different breakage factors ($B_{15}$, $C_c$, $B_{10}$, $B_r$). The D compaction method gave 2.0-8.0 times more crushable than B compaction method. The breakage factors for the largest size aggregate was 1.4-3.0 times higher than those of the smallest size aggregate. For aggregates with 5.6-9.5 mm sizes, the samples were prepared with $B_{15}$ of 1, 3, 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, and 70 for permeability and direct shear tests. As $B_{15}$ increased, the hydraulic conductivity decreased up to 1/22 for $B_{15}=50$. As $B_{15}$ increased from 1 to 50, the peak friction angle increased from $46.1^{\circ}$ to $54.5^{\circ}$. On the other hand, the friction angle decreased after $B_{15}=60$.
