硫化金属矿开采废石堆放对水环境的影响机理及对潜在治理措施的启示意义

金属硫化物矿山的废石堆场受降水淋滤影响而发生硫化物氧化,产生硫酸并释放重金属,因此采矿工程产生的废石是水污染不可忽视的来源。前人关于金属硫化矿物氧化的机理研究大多集中在单一矿物的室内实验,与野外情况匹配度较低。本研究从岩样(矿石和废石)、水样(河水、地下水、废弃尾矿库渗滤液)的水化学、微量元素和锶同位素等方面,分析某铅锌矿废石堆场对水环境的影响,并讨论其产生的化学组分在野外环境中的变化规律及机理。研究结果显示,金属硫化物氧化造成了河水酸化,pH低至2.38,SO₄2-高达9421 mg·L-1,同时微量元素中Zn、Pb、Ni、Mn、Cd质量浓度远超饮用水限值,如Zn达到了582 mg·L-1(饮用水限值为1 mg·L-1),且浓度与pH负相关。河水酸化的主因是黄铁矿、磁黄铁矿的氧化作用,并贡献了河水中大部分的SO₄2-。闪锌矿等矿物在贡献了河水中少部分SO₄2-的同时,也是重金属元素的主要来源。地下水离子浓度较河水低,pH在中性左右。虽然主要是受到侧向山体地下水补给稀释,但碳酸盐和硅酸盐对酸起到的中和作用对酸性水的治理有很大启示价值。以上机理的认识对于废石对水土环境污染的防治具有重要意义。     

海底管道掏空与波浪力变化关系试验

鉴于海底油气管道在海洋能源开发中的特殊意义,前人开展了大量管道安全试验研究,特别注重不同底床、不同波浪条件、不同埋置深度等方面的组合试验,本次试验针对危害管道安全的掏空和悬跨开展了波浪水槽试验,探讨黄河三角洲为主的粉土海床上掏空与管道受力关系,弥补这方面研究的不足,结果表明,海底管道受力变化与掏空过程密切相关。连续试验过程表明,海底管道与海床土、波浪水体之间存在密切关系。海底管道在波浪作用下冲刷掏空经历了3个演变阶段:泥沙起动阶段、水流隧道发育阶段、快速掏空阶段和冲刷平衡阶段。水流隧道伴随的管涌对冲刷掏空起重要作用。伴随冲刷掏空,管道波浪力出现规律性转化,从正向作用逐渐过渡到负向作用,也可以分出4个演化阶段:冲刷初始阶段,管道波浪力以正向为主,管道表现为正向力作用下的振动;隧道发育阶段,管道受到的作用力主要是波峰上举力和波谷下拉力,表现为上下振动;管道悬空阶段,波峰负向作用力和波谷正向力交替出现,管道在波浪作用下表现为前后振动;冲刷平衡阶段,管道主要在负向作用力下振动。     

Wash Waves Generated by High Speed Displacement Ships

It is difficult to compute far-field waves in a relative large area by using one wave generation model when a large calculation domain is needed because of large dimensions of the waterway and long distance of the required computing points. Variation of waterway bathymetry and nonlinearity in the far field cannot be included in a ship fixed process either. A coupled method combining a wave generation model and wave propagation model is then used in this paper to simulate the wash waves generated by the passing ship. A NURBS-based higher order panel method is adopted as the stationary wave generation model; a wave spectrum method and Boussinesq-type equation wave model are used as the wave propagation model for the constant water depth condition and variable water depth condition, respectively. The waves calculated by the NURBS-based higher order panel method in the near field are used as the input for the wave spectrum method and the Boussinesq-type equation wave model to obtain the far-field waves. With this approach it is possible to simulate the ship wash waves including the effects of water depth and waterway bathymetry. Parts of the calculated results are validated experimentally, and the agreement is demonstrated. The effects of ship wash waves on the moored ship are discussed by using a diffraction theory method. The results indicate that the prediction of the ship induced waves by coupling models is feasible.
