Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ecological restoration of slopes in waste dumps of metal mines, and particularly relates to a leakage drainage structure for slopes in waste dumps of metal mines. Background Art
[0002] The leakage drainage structure for slopes in waste dumps of metal mines is designed for a drainage system structure after the completion of metal mine exploitation. To prevent the slag layer from leaking AMD wastewater from the inside out due to factors such as high groundwater level or surface drainage outcrops, it will cause damage to the originally repaired soil improvement layer, and the overlying vegetation will be eroded by the AMD wastewater and unable to survive.
[0003] In the prior art, for non-ferrous metal mines, the soil in areas such as waste lands and waste dumps is strongly acidic. Generally, plants are suitable to grow in a soil environment close to neutral. Therefore, this strongly acidic soil is not conducive to plant growth and will also have an inhibitory effect on the growth of plants. At the same time, in addition to the inhibitory effect on plant growth, high concentrations of H+ and excessive salt concentrations will also cause the inactivation of the plant enzyme system, damage to the cell membrane, inhibition of plant respiration and the absorption of water and nutrient elements by the roots; therefore, the restoration of waste lands in metal mines has always been a major problem in the industry. After the acid mine restoration, due to factors such as high groundwater level or surface drainage outcrops, the slag layer will leak AMD wastewater from the inside out, resulting in damage to the originally repaired soil improvement layer, and the overlying vegetation will be eroded by the AMD wastewater and unable to survive.
[0004] In view of this, it is particularly important to take the method of "combining drainage and blocking" according to local conditions to construct the mine drainage system, improve the drainage system around the mine area, avoid a large area of external water from entering the waste dump, and at the same time take an effective drainage method for AMD on the slope to maximize the drainage of AMD wastewater outcropping on the slope surface and avoid its erosion of the repaired vegetation layer. Therefore, the drainage of seepage flow on the slopes of waste dumps in metal mines is particularly important and is an important means to consolidate the ecological restoration effect of acid mine slopes.

It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a leakage drainage structure for the slope of a metal mine waste dump, which includes an AMD leakage point 1, a blind ditch 2, an AMD drainage main pipe 4, and an AMD drainage branch pipe 3. A blind ditch 2 is arranged outside the AMD leakage point 1, and an AMD drainage branch pipe 3 is installed inside the blind ditch 2. One end of the AMD drainage branch pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the AMD drainage main pipe 4. A blind ditch 2 with a size of 1500mm×1500mm×550mm is arranged with the AMD leakage point 1 on the slope as the center and expanded outward. A gravel drainage layer 6 is covered on the AMD drainage main pipe 4, and the thickness of the gravel drainage layer 6 is 300mm. The gravel particle size of the gravel drainage layer 6 is 30-50mm, and the calcium carbonate content in the gravel is not higher than 10%. A limestone layer 7 is covered under the AMD drainage main pipe 4, and the thickness of the limestone layer 7 is 200mm. The AMD drainage main pipe 4 is a solid HDPE pipe at the foot of the slope. The connection method between the AMD drainage main pipe 4 and the AMD drainage branch pipe 3 is welding. The connection position between the AMD drainage main pipe 4 and the AMD drainage branch pipe 3 is reinforced with a repair joint. A soil improvement layer 8 is covered on the gravel drainage layer 6, and a restoration vegetation layer is planted on the upper part of the soil improvement layer.
[0026] Specifically, the specific settings and functions of this embodiment are as follows. This system enables a good connection between the AMD drainage main pipe 4 and the AMD drainage branch pipe 3, and effectively diverts the AMD leakage point 1 on the slope of the metal mine waste dump to the greatest extent. The limestone layer 7 at the bottom of the AMD drainage main pipe 4 in-situ neutralizes the AMD acidic wastewater, and then it is diverted to the downstream mine wastewater treatment system to effectively neutralize the pH of the discharged wastewater.
[0027] Embodiment 2: As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the AMD drainage main pipe 4 is wrapped with a geotextile 5. The geotextile 5 is a polyester filament needle-punched non-woven geotextile, and the quality of the geotextile 5 is not less than 200g / ㎡. The AMD drainage main pipe 4 is made of HDPE material, and the AMD drainage branch pipe 3 is made of HDPE material. The AMD drainage branch pipe 3 is located on the side of the AMD drainage main pipe 4, and the AMD drainage branch pipe 3 and the AMD drainage main pipe 4 have a perforated structure with a 45° offset opening. The interval between the AMD drainage branch pipes 3 is 10m.
[0028] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is that for the AMD leakage points 1 within a range of 10m, multiple AMD drainage branch pipes 3 share one AMD drainage main pipe 4 to the main drainage pipeline, which maximally reduces the project investment. The AMD main drainage pipe and the branch drainage pipes are all wrapped with 200g / ㎡ polyester filament needle-punched non-woven geotextiles to avoid pipeline blockage.
[0029] Usage method and working principle of the device: The system enables a good connection between the main AMD drainage pipe 4 and the AMD drainage branch pipes 3, and effectively diverts the AMD leakage points 1 on the slopes of the waste dumps in metal mines to the greatest extent. The AMD acidic wastewater is in-situ neutralized by the limestone layer 7 at the bottom of the main AMD drainage pipe 4, and then diverted to the downstream mine wastewater treatment system to effectively neutralize the pH of the discharged wastewater. For the AMD leakage points 1 within a range of 10 m, multiple AMD drainage branch pipes 3 share one main AMD drainage pipe 4 to the main drainage pipeline, minimizing the project investment. Both the main AMD drainage pipe and the branch drainage pipes are wrapped with 200 g / ㎡ polyester filament needle-punched non-woven geotextiles to prevent pipeline blockage.
