A review on investigation of water-preserved coal mining in western China

Yushenfu mining area is located in an ecological fragile area in western China, the coal seam of which is the Jurassic Ysn'an Foirnalion. The Jurassic Yan'an Formation con tains five minable coal seams, the top layer of which is thick, covered by shallow overburden and located under aquifers. Therefore, the mining induced water flowing fractured zone can easily extend to the aquifers of both the Quaternary Sarahu and Jurassic Zhiluo Formation. This would result in a series of negative hydrological and ecological effects, including groundwater leakage, groundwater lowering, furtherly causing surface vegetation withering and dying, surface water body reduction, spring drying out, and water flow of river being decreased substantially. To solve these environmental problems, several technologies have been carried out by Chinese scientists, one of which is water-preserved coal mining. This paper presents a review of the origin, definition and development of water-preserved coal mining, and its applications in Yushenfu mining area. The applicable conditions, research contents, research methodology, and technical foundation of water-preserved coal mining are addressed in this paper. The future research focuses regarding water-preserved coal mining in China are also discussed in this paper. Its results serve as a guide for selecting the methods to be preferred for mining in case the geological conditions, roof overburden structure and coal mining process are similar to Yushenfu mining area.

Soil heavy metal(loid)s and risk assessment in vicinity of a coal mining area from southwest Guizhou, China

Total concentrations of arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, chromium, and copper in the soils from near a coal mine area in southwest Guizhou, China, were measured to evaluate the level of contamination, and the potential ecological risks posed by the heavy metals were quantitatively estimated. Results reveal that all heavy metals/metalloid exceeded the background values for soil environmental quality of heavy metals in Guizhou area. Geo-accumulation index(I_(geo)) showed that arsenic had the highest contamination level(I_(geo)=4) among the seven heavy metals/metalloid, and the contamination levels of mercury and lead were also relatively high(I_(geo)=3). Pearson correlation and cluster analysis identified that mercury, copper and arsenic had a relationship, and their presence might be mainly related to mining activity, coal and oil combustion, and vehicle emissions. Improved Nemerow index indicated that the overall level of heavy metal contamination in the studied area ranged from moderately–heavily contaminated to heavily contaminated level. Potential ecological risk index(R_I) analysis manifested that the whole ecological risk level ranged from high degree to very high degree(325.30≤R_I≤801.02) in the studied soil samples, and the potential ecological risk factors (E_r^i) of heavy metals/metalloid were as follows: Hg > As > Cd > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr, and the E_r^i of Hg and As reached very high risk grade.

Impact of coal resource development on eco-environment and its restoration in west of China

West China has rich mineral resources, especially in coal resources with very good mining conditions. Coal resource development is the one of important tasks in the Chinese “West Development”. Thus, the impact of coal resources development on eco-environment and its restoration is worth studying. This study shows that there are many environmental problems such as land damage, coal wastes, damage of hydro-geological condition and pollution of water resource, airborne effluents (industrial exhausts and methane emission from underground), dust, waste, water. Land damage and land desertification are the most important environmental issue in west China. Therefore, the stress of environmental restoration should be desert presentation and disturbed-land reclamation. To control environmental damages and rehabilitate the eco-environment, environmental restoration techniques are also discussed.

Prevention and Control Mode of Desertification in China＇s State Energy Group Shendong Mining Area with Annual Coal Output of 200 Million Tons

According to the strategic goal of sustainable development,construction and management for the construction of Shendong mining area with ecological safety,the ecological restoration principle of ＂ control protects development and development promotes control＂ for desertification prevention and control was adopted,and engineering measures,plant greening measures,and enclosure management and protection measures were taken to prevent and control desertification in the mining area based on careful detailed investigation and accurate planning and design in the early period. After 32 years,the desertification ecological landscape environment of the mining area has undergone a qualitative change,and the vegetation coverage has increased from 3%-8% to above 60% after the development. The former desertification land has become a modern green energy base that has produced 200 million tons of coal every year. The construction and management mode of an ecologically safe and modernized green coal mining area built by Shendong in the desertification region of northwestern China shows that taking appropriate comprehensive ecological restoration construction technology and management measures that integrate engineering,plants and enclosure management and protection is an effective technical and management paradigm for the construction of a modernized green large-scale coal mining area in China＇s arid and semi-arid regions.

锡林郭勒盟大型露天煤矿区地质环境时空演化评价

内蒙古锡林郭勒盟大型露天煤矿区经过20多年的开发,产生了一系列矿山地质环境问题,矿区地质环境在一定程度上遭到破坏,因此,开展大型露天煤矿区地质环境时空演化评价可为矿区生态地质环境修复提供参考。本文对锡林郭勒盟3个大型矿区进行地质环境时空演化评价。首先通过现场调查,明确了研究区主要的矿山地质环境问题,包括植被覆盖度下降、土地压占(排土场和工业场地)、地形地貌景观破坏(露天采坑)和含水层破坏等4类;其次利用遥感影像定量获取了2000—2020年之间的矿山地质环境问题信息,并建立了矿山地质环境评价指标体系;然后应用层次分析法确定了矿山地质环境评价指标的权重,并通过基于GIS的影响指数模型对矿山地质环境影响进行了评价和区划,探讨了矿山地质环境时空演化规律。研究结果表明:(1)3个大型矿区植被覆盖度下降区域的面积、排土场压占土地面积和露天采坑破坏地形地貌景观面积随时间不断增加;(2)大型矿区采矿对地质环境的影响划分为无影响区、轻微影响区、一般影响区、较强影响区和强烈影响区5个等级分区;(3)3个大型矿区地质环境时空演化规律基本相同,不同影响区的空间分布特征和面积随时间变化的规律不同。

祁连山国家公园煤矿修复对地表节肢动物多样性的影响

高寒山区煤矿覆土回填和种植草本植物能够快速改善环境,强烈影响地表节肢动物多样性及其生态功能,地表节肢动物对煤矿修复的响应还会因海拔及放牧扰动强度的变化而异。选择祁连山国家公园甘肃片区中部西营河和东大河保护站煤矿修复区和毗邻草地(对照区)为研究对象,利用陷阱法调查煤矿修复区及对照区地表节肢动物的种类组成和数量变化,解析地表节肢动物群落及关键类群对煤矿修复的响应模式,确定影响地表节肢动物多样性变化的关键要素。结果表明,煤矿修复缩小了修复区和对照区地表节肢动物群落差异,但煤矿修复区和对照区地表节肢动物群落组成明显不同并存在地域差异。西营河煤矿修复显著提高了地表节肢动物活动密度,而东大河保护站煤矿修复导致地表节肢动物活动密度略有降低,地表节肢动物类群丰富度、多样性和均匀度指数变化与活动密度相反。主要地表节肢动物科对煤矿矿区修复的响应模式不同并存在区域差异,西营河保护站煤矿修复显著提高了平腹蛛科、微蛛亚科和隐翅虫科的活动密度,但显著降低了硬体盲蛛科和象甲科的活动密度;东大河保护站煤矿修复显著提高了步甲科活动密度,但降低了蚁科和狼蛛科的活动密度。pRDA排序结果表明,海拔高度和全氮含量解释了西营河保护站煤矿修复区和对照区20.8%的地表节肢动物群落变异;草本地上生物量和海拔高度解释了东大河保护站煤矿修复区和对照区24.3%的地表节肢动物群落变异。总之,高寒山区人工覆土和植被建设引起的植被和土壤环境变化强烈影响地表节肢动物多样性,地表节肢动物对煤矿修复的响应存在明显的区域差异,地表节肢动物多样性可以指示和评估煤矿修复效果。

三类典型生态破坏案件环境损害评估过程差异性分析

国家不断完善生态环境损害赔偿制度与环境公益诉讼制度的同时,全国生态环境损害案件呈逐年递增趋势。司法和生态环境管理部门等在判罚生态环境损害案件时,面临生态环境损害基线、实物量化、价值量化等难以确定的专业性问题,生态环境损害鉴定不同阶段的差异性难以区分。研究按照损害程度对森林纵火和盗伐林木、违法建设和非法占地、非法采矿三类生态破坏案件进行分类讨论,统计分析了三类生态破坏案件的关键要素指标,阐明了生态环境损害鉴定评估过程的差异性。结果表明,三类案件的差异性主要体现在基线选取对象上,三类案件可能涉及植被、土壤、地下水等指标的一种或多种;森林纵火和盗伐林木、违法建设和占地、非法采矿三类案件在植被破坏和土壤破坏两方面破坏程度都表现出逐渐加重的趋势,水平方向的损害范围易受周边环境影响,纵向从土壤表层向深层土壤破坏逐渐加深,恢复难度逐渐加大;在生态恢复工程选择上,除生态恢复外还需根据破坏程度额外考虑对地表建筑物或压占物清除或矿坑的回填及复垦;永久性损害或基本恢复不可实施时也可考虑其他替代性恢复方案,如认购“碳汇”等新手段。研究可为提高生态环境损害鉴定评估工作的科学性、规范性和可操作性提供理论指导。
