AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In cold regions, when tailings dams discharge ore in winter, the valves of the branch pipes freeze and break when ore slurry is discharged from the ore discharge pipe, making it impossible to discharge ore normally. In addition, the ore slurry flow impacts the sub-dam, causing damage to the dam body and fine particle deposition, which affects the safety of the dam.

Method used

A temporary retaining dam is set up between the secondary dam and the winter ore discharge pipe. It adopts a multi-layer geotextile and straw curtain structure, combined with pit and ore sand filling, to form a slope to prevent slurry impact and ensure the safety of the dam body.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents the impact of ore slurry flow on the sub-dam during winter ore discharge, avoids fine particle deposition, ensures dam safety, and guarantees the smooth progress of normal production and subsequent construction work.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tailings accumulation technology, and specifically relates to a temporary retaining dam structure for winter tailings discharge in cold regions. Background Technology

[0002] In cold regions, during winter production at tailings dams, the valves on the branch pipes used for discharging tailings slurry can freeze and break, preventing normal slurry discharge and thus halting production. Therefore, in winter, the tailings slurry discharge pipes are connected to the tailings beach, with one pipe on each side. The large flow rate at the beach causes the tailings slurry to impact the sub-dam, potentially damaging it. Furthermore, the backflow of tailings slurry in front of the sub-dam causes fine-particle tailings to deposit, forming a weak layer that raises the wetting line, increasing the difficulty of dam construction and compromising the safety of the tailings dam. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a temporary retaining dam structure for tailings ponds in cold regions during winter, so as to solve the problem of slurry flow impacting the sub-dam during the ore discharge period in winter.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A temporary retaining dam structure for winter tailings discharge in cold regions is disclosed. The temporary retaining dam is set between a sub-dam and a winter discharge pipe, and the retaining dam and the sub-dam are set parallel to each other. The two sides of the cross-section of the temporary retaining dam are slopes. A pit is set at the bottom of the slope on the water-facing side. Multiple layers of geotextile are laid on the surface of the slope on the water-facing side. Straw mats are laid on the surface of the geotextile at the bottom of the slope. The geotextile extends to the vertical or bottom surface of the pit, and the straw mats extend to the middle of the vertical surface of the pit. The pit is filled with mineral sand to compress the geotextile and straw mats.

[0006] The temporary retaining dam is more than 150 meters away from the sub-dam.

[0007] The temporary retaining dam is 0.5-1 meter lower than the sub-dam.

[0008] The temporary retaining dam has a bottom width of 14-16 meters.

[0009] The slope ratio of the slope is 1:2.

[0010] The pit is 3-3.5 meters deep and 1-1.5 meters wide.

[0011] The geotextile consists of 2-3 layers.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model of a temporary retaining dam is erected between the sub-dam and the winter ore discharge pipe during winter. During the operation of the winter ore discharge pipe, it effectively prevents the ore slurry flow from impacting the sub-dam, ensuring the safety of the sub-dam. It also prevents fine particles from depositing at the bottom of the sub-dam, forming a weak layer. Furthermore, it does not affect the sub-dam's seepage drainage and the subsequent dam construction work the following year.

[0014] Multiple layers of geotextile and straw mats are laid on the water-facing slope of the temporary retaining dam. The geotextile and straw mats are buried deep to improve the strength of the temporary retaining dam and ensure its drainage function. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figures 1-3 A temporary retaining dam structure for winter tailings discharge in cold regions is disclosed. The temporary retaining dam 3 is set between the sub-dam 1 and the winter discharge pipe 2. The retaining dam 3 is set parallel to the sub-dam 1. The two sides of the cross section of the temporary retaining dam 3 are slopes. A pit 4 is set at the bottom of the slope on the water-facing side. Multiple layers of geotextile 5 are laid on the surface of the slope on the water-facing side. Straw mats 6 are laid on the surface of the geotextile 5 at the bottom of the slope. The geotextile 5 extends to the vertical or bottom surface of the pit 4. The straw mats 6 extend to the middle of the vertical surface of the pit 4.

It also prevents fine particles from depositing at the bottom of the sub-dam, forming a weak layer. It does not affect the sub-dam's seepage drainage and the subsequent dam construction work the following year.
