Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental supervision, and in particular to a classification and grading method of tailings ponds based on environmental supervision. Background Art
[0002] The field of environmental regulation technology involves the use of various tools and strategies to protect the environment and ensure that industrial activities, urban development, and the use of natural resources comply with legal provisions and sustainability principles. The core of this field is to monitor and control the impacts on the environment, including the emission of pollutants, the consumption of natural resources, and the destruction of ecosystems. Environmental regulation technology can include data collection and analysis technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS), as well as pollution prevention and environmental restoration technologies, enabling regulators to implement and enforce environmental policies, evaluate the effectiveness of environmental management plans, and take action against violations.
[0003] Among them, the classification and grading method of tailings ponds refers to the classification and grading of tailings ponds, with the purpose of effectively managing and reducing the potential risks of tailings ponds to the environment. The method is based on factors such as the type of ore, operating status and sensitivity of the surrounding environment of the tailings pond, and through qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, the tailings ponds are differentiated to achieve environmental supervision classification and grading. This classification can guide environmental regulatory agencies to give priority to high-risk tailings ponds and implement targeted regulatory measures such as regular inspections, pollution control and emergency response strategies, thereby improving the environmental management level of tailings ponds and reducing the occurrence of environmental pollution incidents.
[0004] Existing technologies in the field of environmental regulation technology rely on traditional data collection and analysis technologies, such as remote sensing and geographic information (GIS). Although these technologies can provide the necessary data support, they are unable to cope with real-time data processing and risk prediction. Traditional methods lack sufficient flexibility and adaptability when processing complex environmental data, and it is difficult to conduct in-depth analysis and real-time updates for specific environmental variables. Existing regulatory strategies mostly rely on regular inspections and pollution control, which are slow to respond to and prevent sudden environmental incidents and cannot effectively control or reduce environmental risks caused by tailings ponds. For example, when the influencing factors are not updated and analyzed in a timely manner, regulators cannot quickly identify changes in risk levels, resulting in insufficient deployment of emergency measures and increased risks of environmental incidents. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and to propose a tailings pond classification and grading method based on environmental supervision.

[0055] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution, a method for classifying and grading tailings ponds based on environmental supervision, comprising the following steps:
[0056] S1: Use geographic information to capture geographic and environmental data around the tailings pond, including soil type, water source location and original pollution data. Use the data to calculate the environmental sensitivity index of each region, reflect the potential impact of the tailings pond and analyze it to generate a regional sensitivity level framework;
[0057] S2: Based on the regional sensitivity level framework, combined with the physical location of the tailings pond, leakage records and the situation of nearby residential areas, the risk level is divided, and the risk level and influencing factors are integrated and evaluated to obtain the risk assessment results;
[0058] S3: Based on the risk tailings ponds identified in the risk assessment results, physical inspections are carried out to determine the chemical activity of the tailings and assess the leakage risk. Through the inspections, environmental analysis results of the tailings ponds are generated;
[0059] S4: Combine the environmental analysis results of the tailings dam and the regional sensitivity level framework, use the environmental impact assessment model to predict the potential environmental impact under differentiated tailings dam conditions, take geological and hydrological conditions into consideration, predict the risk diffusion path, and obtain the potential environmental impact results of the tailings dam;
[0060] S5: Based on the potential environmental impact results of the tailings pond, design a tailings pond monitoring plan, determine the location of key monitoring points and monitoring frequency, select matching monitoring equipment, capture key environmental changes, and formulate a tailings pond monitoring implementation plan based on the characteristics of the tailings pond and the surrounding environmental requirements;
[0061] S6: According to the tailings pond monitoring implementation plan, regularly capture monitoring data, analyze data change trends, adjust the operation and emergency measures of the tailings pond, reflect real-time monitoring of environmental risks, and obtain the environmental supervision level of the tailings pond.
[0062] The regional sensitivity level framework includes soil type rating, proximity to water sources, and original pollution indicators. The risk assessment results include physical location sensitivity, original leakage assessment, and adjacent residential area impact rating. The tailings pond environmental analysis results include structural integrity assessment, drainage system efficiency, and tailings chemical stability. The potential environmental impact results of the tailings pond include geological stability analysis, hydrological condition variations, and potential diffusion pathways. The tailings pond monitoring implementation plan includes the location of key monitoring points, monitoring frequency setting, and selection of applicable monitoring technologies. The tailings pond environmental supervision level includes data trend analysis, operation adjustment indicators, and emergency response level.
[0063] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the steps of capturing geographical and environmental data around the tailings pond through geographic information, calculating the environmental sensitivity index, analyzing the potential impact of the tailings pond, and generating a regional sensitivity level framework are as follows:
[0064] S101: Capture geographic and environmental data around the tailings pond through geographic information, record the location and original pollution status of each sample point, mark the coordinates of the sample using a GPS device, and organize the marked data to generate the environmental data set. The execution process is as follows;
[0065] The geographic and environmental data around the tailings pond are captured through a geographic information system. The exact coordinates of each sample point are marked by using GPS equipment in the field, and the specific location of each point and the original pollution status of the environment are recorded. The process involves precise measurement and collection of data, systematic marking and cataloging of the collected sample data, and data collation includes the entry of pollutant types and concentrations to ensure the accuracy and reliability of subsequent data processing. The generated environmental data set will serve as the basis for analysis for further environmental impact assessment and sensitivity classification.
[0066] S102: Extract the heavy metal content of soil and the chemical oxygen demand data of water from the environmental data set, compare and classify the data, assess the environmental sensitivity level of multiple sample points, evaluate the sensitivity of the differentiated levels, and obtain the sensitivity classification results. The execution process is as follows;
[0067] Extracting Heavy Metal Content in Soil from Environmental Datasets m and chemical oxygen demand C in water od , according to the formula:
[0068] E=k1C m +k2C od
[0069] Calculate the environmental sensitivity level E, where C m Represents the heavy metal content in the soil, C odrepresents the chemical oxygen demand of the water body, k1 and k2 represent the specific gravity parameters of the two pollutants affecting the environmental sensitivity level;
[0070] Assuming the copper content in the soil sample is 20 mg / kg and the chemical oxygen demand in the water sample is 30 mg / L, substituting the values into the formula, we get: E = 0.5 × 20 + 0.3 × 30 = 19;
[0071] This calculation result shows that the environmental sensitivity level is 19, which is a medium sensitivity level, indicating that the environmental pressure in the area is at a medium level.
[0072] S103: Based on the sensitivity classification results, the potential impact of the tailings pond on the environment is evaluated. By analyzing the geological structure and climate factors of multiple sensitive areas, the degree of impact is quantified and the execution process of the regional sensitivity level framework is obtained as follows;
[0073] The potential impact of tailings ponds on the environment is assessed based on the sensitivity classification results, including analyzing how the geological structure and climatic factors in sensitive areas affect the distribution and migration of pollutants. This involves a comprehensive analysis of geology and meteorology, and a framework for regional sensitivity levels is established through quantitative analysis methods. The process requires in-depth mining and model calculations of existing data to ensure that the actual sensitivity under differentiated environmental conditions can be reflected. The final regional sensitivity level framework provides a scientific basis for policy making and environmental management.
[0074] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown in the figure, according to the regional sensitivity level framework, combined with the geographical location of the tailings pond, the original leakage record and the situation of nearby residential areas, the risk level is divided and evaluated. The specific steps to obtain the risk assessment results are as follows:
[0075] S201: Based on the regional sensitivity level framework, the physical location of each measurement point, including coordinates and corresponding height, is recorded through the geographic information around the tailings pond. Combined with the original leakage event records and the impact assessment on the surrounding environment, the data is sorted and input into the information management platform to obtain the execution process of the risk analysis data set as follows;
[0076] According to the regional sensitivity level framework, detailed geographic information around the tailings pond is recorded, including the coordinates and height of each measuring point. The steps are implemented through acquisition equipment. Each device accurately records the location information and height data. At the same time, combined with the records of the original leakage event, the impact of the surrounding environment of each measuring point is evaluated. The data is sorted and uploaded to the information management platform. The generated risk analysis data set provides the necessary basic data for further risk assessment and response strategies. The data set includes coordinates, height, leakage material type and leakage amount. The information will be used for subsequent risk assessment and management decisions.
[0077] S202: Using the risk analysis data set, the spatial relationship between multiple leakage points and nearby residential areas is analyzed, and the execution process of constructing a preliminary framework of risk levels is as follows with reference to the type of leakage material and the leakage amount;
[0078] Using the risk analysis dataset, the spatial relationship between multiple leakage points and nearby residential areas was analyzed in detail, including the calculation of the actual geographical distance between the leakage points and the residential areas. With reference to the type of leakage material and leakage events, the information assisted in constructing a preliminary framework of risk levels. This framework will serve as the basis for assessing and responding to environmental risks. This process not only focuses on the risk level of the leakage point itself, but also assesses its impact on the surrounding residential areas. Through analysis, environmental supervision and emergency preparedness can be carried out more effectively.
[0079] S203: By analyzing the data in the preliminary framework of risk levels, combined with topographic, hydrological conditions and original leakage data, the risk weighted value of each area is calculated to assess the potential impact on residential areas, and the execution process of the risk assessment results is as follows;
[0080] By analyzing the preliminary framework of risk levels, combined with topography, hydrological conditions and original leakage data, according to the formula:
[0081] R b =w1G b +w2H b +w3D b
[0082] Calculate the risk weighted value R for each area b , where G b represents the terrain factor, H b represents the hydrological conditions, D b represents the original leakage data index, w1, w2, and w3 represent the weights of each factor;
[0083] Assuming the terrain factor of a certain area to be 0.7, the hydrological condition to be 0.6, the original leakage data index to be 0.5, and the weights to be 0.3, 0.4, and 0.3 respectively, we can get the following formula:
[0084] R b =0.3×0.7+0.4×0.6+0.3×0.5=0.59
[0085] The calculation results show that the environmental risk weighted value of the area is 0.59, which is a medium risk level. This value reflects the potential environmental risk after comprehensive reference to terrain, hydrology and leakage data, and provides a quantitative basis for further risk management.
[0086] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown in the figure, based on the risk tailings pond identified in the risk assessment results, the steps of determining the chemical activity of the tailings, assessing the leakage risk, and generating the environmental analysis results of the tailings pond are as follows:
[0087] S301: Based on the risk tailings pond in the risk assessment results, a professional engineering team is organized to inspect the tailings pond, and data is recorded using measurement tools and visual inspections. The execution process of obtaining the physical inspection data of the tailings pond is as follows;
[0088] Based on the risk assessment results, advanced measurement tools and visual inspection methods are used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The data is recorded and forms a physical inspection dataset. The dataset not only provides a detailed snapshot of the current status of the tailings pond, but also provides a scientific basis for repair work and future maintenance plans. The collation and analysis of the inspection results helps to determine the maintenance priorities and emergency repair measures of the tailings pond.
[0089] S302: According to the key links of the tailings pond such as dust prevention, anti-seepage, and wastewater discharge, the physical inspection data of the tailings pond is obtained, and the tailings samples are captured and chemically analyzed in the laboratory, including pH value determination, heavy metal content detection, and toxic substance concentration assessment of the tailings. The execution process of generating the chemical stability results of the tailings pond is as follows;
[0090] Based on the physical inspection data of the tailings pond, the tailings samples underwent comprehensive chemical analysis in the laboratory, including the determination of pH value, detection of heavy metal content and assessment of toxic substance concentration. The analysis results were used to generate chemical stability results of the tailings pond, which were obtained by using advanced chemical analysis equipment and precise experimental methods. The chemical stability results not only show the current environmental status of the tailings pond, but also provide a scientific basis for the formulation of further treatment strategies. They can effectively evaluate the potential risks posed by the tailings pond to the surrounding environment and the required environmental protection measures.
[0091] S303: Based on the chemical stability results of the tailings pond, the risk assessment tool is used for analysis, the leakage probability and environmental impact of the tailings pond are calculated, the environmental status of the tailings pond is assessed, and the execution process of the environmental analysis results of the tailings pond is formed as follows;
[0092] According to the chemical stability results of the tailings pond, the risk assessment tool is used for analysis according to the formula:
[0093] P c =α c L c +β c E c
[0094] Calculate the leakage probability of the tailings pond, where P c represents the leakage probability of the tailings pond, L crepresents leakage data, E c represents the environmental sensitivity index, α c and β c They represent the influence coefficients of leakage data and environmental sensitivity on leakage probability respectively;
[0095] Assuming the leakage data is 0.4, the environmental sensitivity index is 0.6, and the weight coefficients are 0.7 and 0.3 respectively, the formula is substituted to calculate:
[0096] P = 0.7 × 0.4 + 0.3 × 0.6 = 0.46
[0097] The calculation results show that the leakage probability of the tailings pond is 46%, which is a medium-to-high risk level. It suggests that corresponding environmental measures need to be taken to reduce risks and enhance the environmental performance of the dam, providing decision makers with a quantitative risk assessment basis.
[0098] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown in the figure, combined with the environmental analysis results of the tailings pond and the regional sensitivity level framework, the environmental impact assessment model is used to predict the potential environmental impact of the differentiated tailings pond and the risk diffusion path. The specific steps to obtain the potential environmental impact results of the tailings pond are as follows:
[0099] S401: Based on the environmental analysis results of the tailings pond and the regional sensitivity level framework, the geological structure and hydrological conditions of each tailings pond are recorded, including soil type, groundwater flow direction, soil layer thickness and rock composition. The execution process of obtaining geological and hydrological data through field measurement and raw data compilation is as follows;
[0100] Based on the environmental analysis results of the tailings pond and the regional sensitivity level framework, first of all, extensive geological exploration will be carried out, using drilling and geophysical measurement technology to collect underground soil samples and rock samples, monitoring the flow direction and velocity of groundwater through groundwater observation wells, and using geological radar and ground penetrating radar technology to evaluate the thickness of the soil layer and the distribution of rocks. The data will be analyzed by geological experts and hydrologists to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information, thus forming a detailed geological and hydrological database. This database will provide key basic information for the management and monitoring of the tailings pond, ensuring that the changes in geological and hydrological conditions can be fully referenced during the design and operation of the tailings pond, thereby preventing environmental risks.
[0101] S402: Using geological and hydrological data, applying the finite difference method, simulating the pollutant propagation path under the condition of multiple tailings ponds, referring to the permeability of differentiated soils and rocks, analyzing the impact of groundwater flow on pollution diffusion, and obtaining the results of pollution diffusion analysis through field assessment and desktop research. The execution process is as follows;
[0102] The formula for the finite difference method is as follows:
[0103]
[0104] Among them, P represents the result of pollution diffusion analysis, K represents the permeability coefficient of pollutants in soil, A represents the initial concentration of the pollution source, α represents the attenuation coefficient of soil adsorption, d represents the distance from the pollution source to the reference point, and D t Represents the pollutant diffusion time.
[0105] Detailed explanation of the formula and the process of formula calculation and derivation:
[0106] This formula is used to calculate the concentration distribution of pollutants in groundwater. The parameters K, A, α, d and D t All of them are obtained through field monitoring and data collection, ensuring the reality and accuracy of the values;
[0107] K (permeability coefficient of pollutants in soil) is obtained through laboratory testing of soil samples, and the measured value is set to 0.01 m / s, representing the rate at which pollutants pass through the soil per second;
[0108] A (initial concentration of the pollution source) was determined by analyzing water samples from the pollution site, and the measured value was 100 mg / L;
[0109] α (the attenuation coefficient of soil adsorption) is determined by the soil adsorption characteristic experiment and is taken as 0.03
[0110] m -1 , which indicates the ratio of the concentration decay when the pollutant moves one meter in the soil;
[0111] d (the distance from the pollution source to the reference point) is determined based on field measurements and is set to 50 m;
[0112] D t (pollutant diffusion time) was determined based on the original data of the pollution incident and on-site monitoring and was set to 3600s;
[0113] Substitute the above parameter values into the formula for calculation:
[0114]
[0115] The formula calculation process is unfolded step by step as follows:
[0116] Calculate the exponential part: e -0.03·50 =e -1.5 ≈0.22313;
[0117] Calculate the numerator: 0.01 100 0.22313 = 0.22313;
[0118] Calculate the denominator:
[0119] Calculate the final concentration:
[0120] The results show that at a distance of 50 meters from the pollution source, after 3600 seconds of diffusion, the concentration of pollutants in the soil is approximately 0.003719. This value reveals the specific concentration level of pollutant transmission, which is an important basis for environmental scientists and engineers to evaluate and further deal with pollution.
[0121] S403: Based on the results of the pollution diffusion analysis, the environmental impact of the tailings pond under the current geological and hydrological conditions is predicted, including the impact on the surrounding ecology and the assessment of potential threats to residential areas. By combining the associated data for risk assessment, the execution process of generating the environmental impact prediction results of the tailings pond is as follows;
[0122] According to the results of the pollution diffusion analysis, it involves collecting information on all potential pollutants associated with the tailings pond and analyzing their migration and diffusion patterns under specific geological and hydrological conditions. Environmental engineers will use geographic information systems (GIS) and environmental simulation software, combined with geological and hydrological data, to simulate the behavior of pollutants in the environment. By working with local environmental protection agencies and communities, actual data on the status of ecosystems and the health of residents will be collected to strengthen the predictive ability of the model. The model and analysis results will support the formulation of corresponding risk mitigation measures, such as establishing anti-pollution barriers and improving the design of tailings ponds to reduce threats to the environment and public health, and generate environmental impact prediction results for tailings ponds. Through such systematic analysis and evaluation, it can provide policymakers and managers with a scientific basis to formulate more effective environmental protection strategies and emergency response measures.
[0123] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown in the figure, based on the potential environmental impact results of the tailings pond, the steps of designing a tailings pond monitoring plan, determining the location of key monitoring points and monitoring frequency, selecting matching monitoring equipment, and formulating a tailings pond monitoring implementation plan are as follows:
[0124] S501: Based on the potential environmental impact results of the tailings pond, the multivariate spatial analysis method is applied to select key monitoring points of the tailings pond and surrounding sensitive areas. The key monitoring points are selected according to the geological and hydrological characteristics of the tailings pond target, including the original recorded pollution events and areas susceptible to pollution. The coordinates of each point are calibrated and the execution process of obtaining key monitoring point data is as follows;
[0125] The formula for the multivariate spatial analysis method is as follows:
[0126]
[0127] Among them, R represents the pollution risk value, C s Represents the pollution source concentration at the target monitoring point, D sRepresents the distance from the monitoring point to the pollution source, F e represents the ecological sensitivity of the area where the monitoring point is located, and W1, W2, and W3 are the weight coefficients of concentration, distance, and ecological sensitivity, respectively.
[0128] Detailed explanation of the formula and the process of formula calculation and derivation:
[0129] R represents the pollution risk value, which is the core indicator for environmental monitoring around the tailings pond;
[0130] C s The pollution source concentration at a specific monitoring point is obtained through on-site water quality monitoring equipment, and the measurement result is set to 150 mg / L;
[0131] D s is the distance from the monitoring point to the pollution source, which is calculated by GPS positioning and geographic information system and is set to 200 meters;
[0132] F e Represents the ecological sensitivity of the area where the monitoring point is located. According to the ecological sensitive area classification standards of the environmental protection department, this value is obtained through the ecological impact assessment report and is set to 0.8;
[0133] The weight coefficients W1, W2, and W3 adjust the influence of concentration, distance, and ecological sensitivity in risk assessment, respectively;
[0134] According to the original data analysis and expert advice, W1 = 0.6, W2 = 0.3, and W3 = 0.1 are set. The weights reflect the importance of the differentiation parameters in the pollution risk assessment, among which W1 is the largest, indicating that the concentration has the most significant impact on the pollution risk;
[0135] Calculate the weighted sum of concentration and distance:
[0136] W1·C s +W2·|D s |=0.6·150+0.3·200=90+60=150
[0137] Calculate the weighted square root of ecological sensitivity:
[0138]
[0139] Final contamination risk value R:
[0140]
[0141] The results show that the calculated pollution risk value is 530.04, which is a relatively high risk value, indicating that there is a serious environmental pollution risk near the monitoring point. This value can be used to optimize monitoring strategies and strengthen environmental protection measures to reduce the impact of tailings ponds on the surrounding environment.

After debugging, it is ensured that the equipment accurately captures data and transmits it to the monitoring center in real time through the network. The monitoring center is equipped with a data processing and analysis system, which displays and analyzes data in real time and is configured with an automatic alarm function. Once abnormal data is detected, it automatically alarms and notifies management personnel to respond quickly.

[0152] Calculate the risk growth trend T, where x represents the monitored key parameter value, D h represents the rate of change of parameter value, k1 and k2 represent fixed weights in risk assessment;
[0153] Assume that the concentration of a heavy metal x is 150 mg / L, and its rate of change in the past 24 hours is D h The flow rate is 5 mg / L / h, the weight k1 is set to 0.6, and k2 is set to 0.4. Substituting into the formula, we get:
[0154] T=0.6·150+0.4·5=92
[0155] The calculation result shows that the risk growth trend is 92. This indicator is used to evaluate the growth rate of environmental risks in tailings ponds and provides decision makers with a numerical risk warning.
