Abstract | Without a reliable design method for the leaching and seepage step of in situ leaching (ISL), problems such as low comprehensive resource recovery rate and frequent geological disasters such as landslides are prominent. This study established a simplified “liquid injection-collection” plane model of ISL with a linear barefoot type rare earth mine as the research object. The steady seepage line equation was derived based on groundwater dynamics and the Dupuit assumption. Then, engineering verification and calculation error analysis were performed. The seepage line equation is expressed as a piecewise function, where the seepage line in the liquid injection area is the upper half of the ellipse line, and the one in the non-liquid injection area is a parabola. The calculation error increases along the flow field direction. The seepage gradient, bedrock gradient, liquid injection range, and relative permeability coefficient have limited influence on the calculation error of the equation. The seepage line equation can be fairly applied in ISL. The seepage line equation can provide a theoretical basis for the “prior prediction (design)” of the “liquid injection/collection” leaching and seepage process in ISL. |
