某铀矿尾矿区周边土壤环境质量评价

Quality Assessment of Soil Environment around Tailing Areas in a Uranium Mine

进行铀矿尾矿区周边土壤环境质量评价可为铀矿尾矿区治理和污染土壤修复提供科学依据。以我国某铀矿尾矿区为研究对象,在采样监测的基础上,应用内梅罗(N.L.Nemerow)模型,以Cd、Pb、Ni、Zn、Cu、Cr等6种重金属作为评价因子,对铀矿尾矿周边土壤进行了环境质量评价。结果表明,该铀矿尾矿区周边土壤中Cd严重超标,整体尾矿区周边土壤环境质量已超过警戒级的水平,受到了重金属污染,但铀尾矿库对周边土壤基本上没有造成污染。

The quality assessment of soil environment of tailing areas could provide a scientific basis for the tailings management and the remediation of contaminated soil in uranium mines.Taking a uranium tailing areas in China as a research object,the quality assessment of soil environment around the tailing areas was carried out by applying N.L.Nemerow model and using such six kinds of heavy metals as Cd,Pb,Ni,Zn,Cu,Cr as the evaluation factors.The results showed that Cd index of soil around the uranium tailings area is far beyond the standard,the quality index of soil overall environment in the uranium tailings area has exceeded the alert level,and the soil environment has been polluted by heavy metals,however,the uranium tailings pond basically did not cause pollution on the surrounding soil.
