 INTRODUCTION

The theme is based on the possibility of reducing the problems of instability of the rock mass and
thus minimizing the risk of falling rocks, bursting rocks, as well as the high production costs
generated by the problems in sustaining the mining work. To this end, the knowledge of fluid
mechanics on fluid transport with suspended solids will be applied; and thus achieve to saturate
with hydraulic fill all the empty spaces generated by the exploitation of ore in the Jimena vein. With
this, a large part of the dismount produced by the advance works would return as a fill to the interior
of the mine, decreasing the environmental impact generated by the large volumes occupied by the
dismantlers on the surface, in the same way it would decrease the consumption of wood in the
support, contributing the same with the conservation of forests, which are increasingly scarce.

 SUMMARY

In order to reduce the problems of instability in the exploitation of Veta Jimena,

of Compañía Minera Poderosa S.A. In the present work the technical-economic
evaluation of the application of Hydraulic Filler in this Vein is developed.

In the technical analysis of the project will be determined by the distribution of

particle sizes required for transporting the pulp by gravity should approach the
Talvot curve. The pulp should have a 760 / solids with a maximum granulometry
3/8 inch; For transport, SCH-80 64 "pipe and PN polyethylene will be used

12.5 64 ". After analyzing the three alternatives to locate the plant, it will be
concluded to determine the best alternative location of the Hydraulic Filling Plant
taking into account the difference in levels with respect to the lowest level of
exploitation is 586 m.

In addition to this advantage, it has a thick hopper, which can be conditioned as

a hopper of the aggregates for the hydraulic filling. Considering a pulp density of
1.90 kg / L, specific gravity of 2.65 kg / L and pipeline of 64 ", it is expected to
reach a flow rate of 45 to 55 m3 / hour.
Keywords: Pulp, hydraulic filling, granulometr

 RESULT

1. The application of hydraulic filling offers a series of advantages which result in

cost reduction, higher productivity and operational safety.
2. With the application of the hydraulic filling it is considered to take advantage of
40% to 50% of the dismount product of the advances of the mine, this translates
in greater useful life of the current disassemble, reducing the negative
environmental impact and increasing the profitability of the project .
3. With the application of hydraulic filling the performance per man guard will
increase from 4.71 TM / task to 9.11 TM / task.
4. The consumption of wood per ton of broken ore before applying hydraulic fill is
28.40 Kg / MT. Applying the hydraulic filler is reduced to 4.60 Kg / MT.
5. The cost of support without using hydraulic filler is 5.99 $ / MT, when applying
the hydraulic filler this cost will be reduced to 1.85 $ / MT. This difference
represents $ 499,200 of savings in maintenance basically with wood. The cost of
hydraulic filling is 2.77 / MT, this represents $ 332,400 per year; therefore, there
would be a net saving of $ 166,800 per yea

 DISCUSSION ABOUT THE RESULT

As the results of the technical analysis of the application of the hydraulic filling
are favorable, it is recommended to implement the Hydraulic Filling Plant in the
NV 2375 in such a way that gravity is used for the impulse and transfer of the
pulp to the tajeas.
The design of the plant should contemplate the possibility of using bulk cement
to obtain better structural properties in the filling, this in order to minimize the
compaction.
