AI Technical Summary
Tailings from open-pit mines are prone to geological disasters such as landslides and debris flows under the influence of external forces, and tailings seepage water causes environmental pollution. Current technology mainly involves anti-seepage treatment below the tailings. During the rainy season, tailings are prone to flow out through cracks or seepage, causing pollution.
A buffer layer and an impermeable layer are set on the outside of the tailings pile, and a first impermeable membrane is installed inside. A drainage ditch and a second impermeable membrane are laid on top of the tailings pile. Seepage wells are evenly distributed on the tailings pile. Seepage pipes and suction pipes are installed in the seepage wells and connected to suction pumps to extract groundwater. Seepage pollution is prevented through multiple layers of impermeable membranes and a seepage system.
To effectively prevent groundwater pollution caused by tailings seepage during the rainy season, groundwater inside the tailings is collected and treated through seepage wells and pumping systems, minimizing the risk of pollution and improving the seepage prevention capacity and safety of the tailings pile.
