Flexible electrode tube for electrified rare earth mining and application method therefor

Abstract

Disclosed is a flexible electrode tube for electrified rare earth mining and an application method therefor. Flexible conductive plastic tubes, wires, and joint zones are included, outer walls of the flexible conductive plastic tubes are smooth, with spiral wires embedded inside tube walls, and the wires are led out at the joint zones and connected to cables. The method includes the steps of: S1, drilling fluid injection holes; S2, placing the flexible electrode tubes into bottoms of the fluid injection holes; S3, mounting fluid injection tubes; S4, connecting the wires and the cables to a direct current (DC) power supply, and fixing ropes connecting clamps; and S5, extracting the flexible electrode tubes by pulling the ropes for subsequent reuse after mining completion. The present disclosure has the advantages of excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, high strength, and ease of arrangement and retrieval.
