Experimental Study on the Insulation Layer Thickness of a Novel Ice Coring Device in Loose Sandstone-Type Uranium Deposits

The target strata of sandstone-type uranium deposits are usually located in the fragile and loose strata, which makes it difficult to obtain core samples; consequently, a novel ice coring device for loose sandstone-type uranium deposits is proposed to solve this problem. Experiments proved that the...

description The target strata of sandstone-type uranium deposits are usually located in the fragile and loose strata, which makes it difficult to obtain core samples; consequently, a novel ice coring device for loose sandstone-type uranium deposits is proposed to solve this problem. Experiments proved that the artificial sample can replace the natural sample, and the coring method has high reliability. Ensuring the allegro formation of an ice valve with a given cold source is critical for this coring system, and reducing the loss of cold energy with help of insulation layer is one of the methods to speed up the formation of ice valve. Since the diameter of the drill tool is limited by its working scenario, the thickness of insulation layer is limited to ensure the size of core. Therefore, this paper conducted laboratory experiments of the insulation layer with different thicknesses to study the effect of the insulation layer on the formation of the sand–ice valve. Results show that the insulation layer can reduce the loss of cold energy during the freezing process and significantly affect the formation time of the sand–ice valve.

According to the tests, the novel ice coring device is expected to solve the coring problem in loose sandstone-type uranium deposits.
