Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ecological restoration of historical industrial and mining wastelands, and in particular to a method for treating historical mine pits. Background Art
[0002] During the mining process, the surface vegetation, soil structure, underground aquifer structure, and surrounding surface water resources will be seriously affected, leading to ecological problems such as destruction of topographic landscape, soil erosion, and reduction of biodiversity. Then, mining forms negative topography on the surface, and the high and steep slopes formed by the excavation of rock and soil bodies may cause geological disasters such as collapse and landslides, posing a threat to the safety of life and property of surrounding residents. In addition, after the closure of historical mines, if they are not restored and managed in time, they will occupy land resources for a long time, and some mining pits will accumulate surrounding groundwater and atmospheric precipitation, affecting the effective use of land resources. For the mining pits formed by mining, the original topography can be restored by filling the surrounding backfill materials, providing a basis for subsequent land reclamation and ecological restoration work, and ultimately restoring the original landform and vegetation, reducing the waste of land resources.
[0003] In the existing technology, historical mines in different regions have significant differences in topography, natural geography, hydrometeorology, engineering geology, environmental ecology and other conditions. Different backfill materials have significant differences in material sources, material composition, rock and soil physical and chemical properties, etc. Due to the lack of adaptability analysis for different conditions, it is easy for backfill materials to be unable to effectively cope with changes in conditions in actual applications, thereby affecting the effect of ecological restoration. Therefore, how to investigate historical mines and accumulated backfill materials, and evaluate the backfill potential of backfill materials for historical mines is a problem we need to solve. To this end, a method for the management of historical mines is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0063] Step 3: Conduct a detailed hydrogeological, engineering geological, environmental geological and ecological geological survey of the area where the mine is located at a scale of 1:10,000. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted on the chemical composition of water quality in the historical mine, the geological and rock conditions of the pit wall, and the status of backfill materials such as tailings dumps and solid waste around the mine.

[0064] Impact on groundwater:
[0065] Permeability: Highly permeable backfill materials may accelerate the flow of groundwater and increase the groundwater recharge in the historical mine area. However, if the backfill materials contain harmful substances, the harmful substances may spread with the flow of groundwater and cause groundwater pollution;
[0066] pH value: When the pH value of the backfill material is close to neutral, the impact on groundwater is small. If the pH value deviates far from neutral, it may have an adverse effect on the water quality of groundwater.
[0067] Impact on soil:
[0068] Compressibility: Backfill materials with low compressibility help maintain soil stability and reduce settlement and deformation. However, if the compressibility is too high, it may cause damage to the soil structure and affect soil quality.
[0069] Chemical properties: The chemical properties of backfill materials (such as heavy metal content, organic matter content, etc.) may affect soil fertility and biological activity. Harmful substances may enter the food chain through the soil, causing long-term impacts on the ecosystem;
[0070] Impact on vegetation:
[0071] Soil quality: The impact of backfill materials on soil quality will indirectly affect the growth of vegetation. Good soil quality is conducive to the root development and nutrient absorption of vegetation;
[0072] pH value: Different plants have different adaptability to soil pH values. The pH value of backfill materials may affect the type and distribution of vegetation.
[0073] Impact on biodiversity:
[0074] Ecosystem stability: The introduction of backfill materials may change the ecosystem structure of the historical mining area and affect the distribution and quantity of biodiversity;
[0075] Step 4: Based on the results of regional survey, topographic mapping and sampling test, conduct a comprehensive analysis, summarize and calculate the backfill material potential assessment coefficient, and assess the potential of the backfill material, including the overall quantity, environmental quality, and the impact of filling stability;
[0076] Step 5. Based on the results of the backfill material potential assessment, draw a zoning map for the historical mine pits and backfill material potential assessment. Different types of mine pits are divided into different governance suitability levels according to the difficulty of governance. According to the corresponding suitability levels, corresponding governance plans are implemented.
[0077] Embodiment 2, as Figure 3 As shown, based on Example 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, in step 4, the process of evaluating the potential of backfill materials is:
[0078] Collect data on the available amount of backfill materials, including total reserves, recoverable quantities, and transportation costs, and obtain data on the physical properties (such as permeability, compressibility, strength) and chemical properties (such as pH value, heavy metal content, and organic matter content) of backfill materials tested in laboratories. Analyze the long-term stability and eco-friendliness of backfill materials such as tailings dumps and solid waste in historical mines. Stability includes its resistance to weathering and erosion, as well as its potential impact on groundwater levels. Eco-friendliness assessment includes potential impacts on groundwater, soil, vegetation, and biodiversity, including pollution risks and ecological damage. Analyze the actual measured concentrations of various components and potential pollutants in backfill materials, and combine them with the environmental impact assessment standard values of various pollutants in relevant specifications to obtain the environmental impact index, evaluate the comprehensive impact of pollutants in backfill materials, use the established backfill material assessment index and environmental impact index, combine the quality of actual backfill materials with the standard backfill material quality, and after systematic analysis, summarize and calculate the backfill material potential assessment coefficient to evaluate the potential of backfill materials.
[0079] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the backfill material potential assessment coefficient is:
[0080] ;
[0081] ;
[0082] Among them, EP is the backfill material potential assessment coefficient, is the backfill material evaluation index of the i-th sample, Evaluate the index for the maximum backfill material in all samples, is the weight of the i-th sample, Q is the mass of the actual backfill material, is the standard backfill material quality, is the adjustment factor used to adjust the impact of quality factors on the evaluation coefficient. It is an environmental impact index that reflects the potential negative impact of backfill materials on the environment and evaluates the comprehensive impact of pollutants in backfill materials. is the maximum permissible environmental impact index, is a weight factor used to adjust the importance of environmental impact in the evaluation coefficient. is the actual measured concentration of the jth pollutant in the backfill material, is the environmental standard concentration of the jth pollutant, m is the number of pollutant types, and the value range of EP is between 0 and 1. The closer the value is to 1, the greater the potential of backfill materials. The value range is between 0 and 1. The closer the value is to 0, the more the pollutant concentration exceeds the standard and the more serious the environmental impact is. The closer the value is to 1, the smaller the environmental impact is.
[0083] In step 5, the process of drawing the potential evaluation zoning map of historical mine pits and backfill materials is as follows:
[0084] The evaluation results of various evaluation indicators of backfill materials are summarized and organized, and the backfill material potential evaluation coefficient of each evaluation point is calculated to ensure that the coefficient can fully reflect the overall potential and risk of the backfill materials. Detailed topographic maps and geological maps of historical mines are obtained as basic maps. According to the level of backfill material potential evaluation coefficient, the historical mine areas are divided into different suitability levels, namely low suitability level, medium suitability level and high suitability level. With the increase of suitability level, the backfill potential of backfill materials gradually increases, and the corresponding evaluation threshold is matched for each suitability level. Different colors and patterns are assigned to each suitability level for clear distinction on the map, and the suitability level, main characteristics, and evaluation basis information of each area are marked on the zoning map. Corresponding governance plans are formulated for each suitability level. Low suitability level: The governance goal is to focus on environmental protection and ecological restoration, and the governance measures are to adopt natural restoration or low-intensity artificial intervention. Ways such as planting local vegetation and building ecological buffer zones can be used to reduce the interference of human activities on the environment. Medium applicability level: The governance goal is to balance economic benefits and environmental protection.
