“…The long-term interaction between groundwater and the environment results in the chemical composition of groundwater [8,9]. The study of the hydrochemical composition and type of groundwater in a region can describe the hydrogeological history of the area [10], elucidate the origin and formation of the groundwater, and provide a visual evaluation of the groundwater quality to assess its availability or risk level. Currently, hydrogeochemical methods have made great progress in groundwater research, and the combined use of hydrochemical-type methods [11], isotope methods [12,13], thermodynamic methods [14], and multivariate statistical methods [15] has solved the quantitative and qualitative problems of hydrogeochemistry, and the hydrochemical method and isotope method are the most basic and practical methods.…”

A total of 18 samples of shallow groundwater around the Hancheng mining area in the Guanzhong Basin were collected from 1–4 May 2018. According to the analysis of hydrochemical data, the Gibbs semi-logarithmic diagram and Piper diagram were used to research the hydrogeochemical behavior of shallow groundwater around the Hancheng mining area in the Guanzhong Basin. The results of the groundwater hydrochemical analyses shown on the Gibbs and Piper plots are as follows: The chemical composition analysis showed that the main cation components were Mg2+, Ca2+, Na+, and K+, the anion components were HCO3−, Cl−, and SO42−. A measure of 89% of the groundwater samples in this area were freshwater, the HCO3− were mainly dolomite, calcite, and gypsum dissolved precipitation resulted. Na+ and Cl− came from the dissolution of halite. Most of the groundwater was of the SO4·Cl-Ca·Mg type, accounting for 61.1%. The main ion chemistry of the shallow groundwater in this area is controlled by rock weathering, and pyrite oxidation is a significant factor affecting the SO42− concentration. These research results will help analyze the formation mechanism of chemical components and provide some basic data for the evolution of mine water in this area in the future.

Purpose. To find a relative methodology which will help the systematic analysis of the parameters influencing the blasting plan and a better understanding of the mechanisms of fragmentation of rocks with explosives. Methodology. The approach uses the Kuz-Ram model to predict blast performance. Three models were used to consider the effect of blast plan geometry on the quality of blast rock fragmentation. A new blasting plan is proposed using the Langefors method and the Kuz-Ram empirical model. The results obtained were compared with those of previous blasts. Findings. The research results show that the optimal fragmentation of 89.2 % with a balance between fine particles of 5.7 % and outsized blocks of 5.1 % of rocks by explosive in the Heliopolis aggregates quarry is highly dependent on the type and quantity of explosive used, the direction of initiation, and the cracks caused by the waves of shock (back effects). Originality. The present work is concerned with the problem of the quality of rock blasting which will ultimately affect the costs of drilling, blasting and the efficiency of all mining operations. Parameters influencing the processes of rock fragmentation during mining operations are specified. Practical value. The purpose of blasting is to disaggregate the material in order to facilitate its recovery by the extraction equipment. It is therefore necessary to correctly define the blasting plan by optimizing these geometric parameters, the nature and the quantity of explosive, the initiation sequences aim to have the right particle size distribution.
