Iron ore is an important mineral resource. Its exploitation requires a well system. The equipment of this system includes the main wells and subsidiary wells.
Main wells are essential for the efficient exploration and exploitation of iron ore. The main wells are the basis for the establishment and operation of an iron ore well system. They are mainly responsible for the collection of ore and the drainage of water drawn from deep wells. Generally, the depth of main wells in iron ore is about 80-120 meters. The common types of main wells are deep-wide wells and deep-long wells, which are suitable for exploitation on mountains or plains.
Subsidiary wells are also important to the iron ore well system. They play the role of buoying, aiming to speed up the raising of ore and reduce the damage of ore blocks when they are discharged from the main wells, which protect the leakage of ore particles. The subsidiary wells mainly include watergate wells and hole wells. The depth of subsidiary wells usually is much shallower than the main wells, and they are usually located at the sides of main wells.
The construction of main wells and subsidiary wells in iron ore exploitation requires advanced technology. Firstly, the location of the main wells should be properly chosen. The terrain, water resources and other factors should be fully taken into account. Secondly, the sites of subsidiary wells should be carefully chosen to avoid affecting the excavation and drainage of mineral resources. Thirdly, the drilling depth should be determined based on the density of ore, the depth of ore deposits, the technological terms and other factors. Lastly, specialized personnel should be employed to install and maintain the main wells and subsidiary wells.
In summary, the main wells and subsidiary wells are essential for the exploitation of iron ore. They play an important role in collecting ore and draining water. Timely maintenance, as well as the construction of main wells and subsidiary wells with advanced technology are important to ensure the efficient and safe exploitation of iron ore.
