A magneto-telluric (MT) pilot study is used to investigate the Taranaki Fault, a major thrust along the eastern margin of the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. Analysis of the survey data (MT phase tensor analysis and 2D models), along a 25 km east–west oriented line perpendicular the fault, indicates the Taranaki Fault is the tectonic boundary between major Permian and Mesozoic basement terranes with differing resistivities. Models show the resistivity boundary at the fault dips eastward at about 45° to a depth of at least 12 km. These results suggest that the fault is a major long lived tectonic feature that formed in Mesozoic time during the terrane accretionary phase and has subsequently reactivated during the Cretaceous and Tertiary. At depths less than 5 km, MT models that use constraints from seismic and borehole data show low resistivity sediments extend about 4 km eastward, beneath the tip of the fault. The sedimentary succession beneath the thrust wedge is a petroleum exploration target and with a higher density of MT measurements, a better image of this region may be achieved.  相似文献

In the Federal Republic of Germany disposal of low-level radioactive waste is practiced in rock salt of the salt dome Asse since years. Projects also exist for the disposal of high-level waste from nuclear reactors in salt domes. The feasibility of the “evaporite concept? has to be founded on some basic principles of the origin and metamorphism of marine salt deposits. The German Zechstein salt deposits (Permian) were formed about 230 million years ago. Since that time the salt formations have had a chequered history: 1. Solution metamorphism and thermal metamorphism have altered the primary chemical and mineralogical composition of salt rocks in the presence of unsaturated solutions and/or temperatures up to 100? C and more. 2. Mechanical deformation and dynamic metamorphism processes have preserved the chemical and mineralogical composition of the evaporites. Solution metamorphism: The minerals halite, sylvite, and carnallite are very sensitive to subsequent penetrating unsaturated solutions. Very important in this context is the origin of specific equilibrium solutions and mineral associations. Primary salt rocks (e. g. carnallite rock) have been altered to secondary mineral associations (e. g. Hartsalze and sylvite rocks of the potash seams Thüringen, Hessen, Stassfurt). Most of the solutions which infiltrated the salt deposits from outside are later squeezed out into the adjacent rocks. Geochemical and physicochemical processes of the solution metamorphism are not limited to the geologic past. They are also efficient at the present time as a result of deformation processes in partially extracted salt deposits, for example. Solution metamorphism processes are also possible in the future during the period of about one million years which is necessary for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in salt domes. A concept which is based upon observed properties of salt formations and with secure scientific foundation must guarantee no radioactive contamination of salt solutions in the case of long time contacts between radionuclides and brines. An excellent method for the immobilisation of radioactive waste seems to be production of a synthetic igneous rock system SYNROC (Ringwood, 1978). In such a rock the radionuclides are fixed in the lattices of minerals. Additional safety barriers which prevent the entry of radionuclides from the geologic barrier into the biosphere are the metallic alloy Ni3Fe, for waste containers and layers of basalt and corundum. Borosilicate glasses are not suitable for the safe immobilisation of radionuclides because the glasses readly devitrify in contact with solutions and steam at elevated pressures and temperatures. Thermal metamorphism: The heat-generation of high-level waste produces zones of different temperatures in the evaporites of the salt domes. The salt hydrates kainite and carnallite react at relative low temperatures (> 072? C and > 80? C) and form solid phases with less hydrated compounds and equilibrium solutions. For example, effects of thermal metamorphism are to be expected in the case of influencing higher temperatures upon carnallite rocks which were squeezed into parts of rock salt during the geologic past. Increasing temperatures generated by radionuclides must be limited in carnallite rocks to 30 %–50 % of the recent rock temperatures in salt domes. A difference of 10? C should be guaranteed between the temperature zones around the high-level waste and the beginning of carnallite dehydratation at 80? C–85? C under normal pressure. Dynamic metamorphism: Dynamic metamorphism is concerned mainly with isochemical and isophase recrystallizations. The original thickness and composition of evaporites can be altered by the property of plasticity and by creep deformations of salt minerals and rocks. Solutions (e. g. pore solution) and increasing temperatures lead to the effects of dynamic metamorphism. A concept which is based upon observed properties of salt formations and with secure scientific foundation must guarantee temperatures ≦ 100? C in the vicinity around the high-level waste containers. Only for temperatures up to 100? C are relevant geologic data about the plastic deformation of rock salt available in the German salt deposits. The effects of salt rock deformation with increasing temperatures > 100? C could be examined only by laboratory experiments. It seems to be a considerable uncertainty and a risk to develop experimental deformation models for salt rocks valid for a time of 102–103 years. The present program in the Federal Republic of Germany for a geologic disposal of radionuclides in evaporites is sometimes characterized as the best concept of the world (e. g. v.Weizsäcker, 1978). For such a general statement no geoscientific foundation is available today. Alternative geologic disposal programs seem to be more acceptable in view of their geoscientific and technical base (e. g.Ringwood, 1978).  相似文献

Concentrations of total Hg (T-Hg) were measured in mine waste, stream water, soil and moss samples collected from the Tongren area, Guizhou, China to identify potential Hg contamination to local environments, which has resulted from artisanal Hg mining. Mine waste contained high T-Hg concentrations, ranging from 1.8 to 900 mg/kg. High concentrations of Hg were also found in the leachates of mine waste, confirming that mine waste contains significant water-soluble Hg compounds. Total Hg distribution patterns in soil profiles showed that top soil is contaminated with Hg, which has been derived from atmospheric deposition. Data suggest that organic matter plays an important role in the binding and transport of Hg in soil. Elevated T-Hg concentrations (5.9–44 mg/kg) in moss samples suggest that atmospheric deposition is the dominant source of Hg to local terrestrial ecosystems. Concentrations of T-Hg were highly elevated in stream water samples, varying from 92 to 2300 ng/L. Particulate Hg in water constituted a large proportion of the T-Hg and played a major role in Hg transport. Methyl–Hg (Me–Hg) concentrations in the water samples was as high as 7.9 ng/L. Data indicate that Hg contamination is dominantly from artisanal Hg mining in the study area, but the extent of Hg contamination is dependent on the mining history and the scale of artisanal Hg mining.  相似文献

The theoretical aspects of mining in rock subject to tectonic stressing are still insufficiently clear. While rock mechanics uses Heim's rule and assumes the virgin stress to be generally lithostatic, earth science resorts to the folding theory and to different approaches in explaining geological phenomena. In this paper, a procedure is proposed for determining tectonic stresses in mining ground below a surface fold, the latter being assumed to originate through local buckling of the surface layer under tectonic action. For the purpose of this hypothesis, the concept of displacement along the interface of the layer and the surrounding incompetent rock is defined. In the case of elastic or viscous incompetent rock, the induced stress is obtainable by an integral equation approach. A numerical technique was developed accordingly for the zone of contact strain, and special attention is paid to interpretation of the singular integrals representing the boundary stress. Numerical results are presented as an illustration.  相似文献

Three large-scale instrumented waste rock piles were constructed at the Diavik Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, Canada. These experimental waste rock piles (test piles) are 15 m high and are part of an integrated field and laboratory research program to characterize and compare low-sulfide waste rock and drainage at various scales. During test pile construction, samples of the <50 mm fraction of waste rock were collected from two types of waste rock that are segregated during mining operations based on S content. The samples were analyzed for S content and particle size distribution. One test pile contained waste rock with an average of 0.035 wt.% S in the <50 mm fraction, within the operational S target of <0.04 wt.% S for the lower S waste rock type. The second test pile contained waste rock with an average of 0.053 wt.% S in the <50 mm fraction, lower than the operational S target of >0.08 wt.% S for the higher S waste rock type. The third test pile has a low permeability till layer and a low sulfide waste rock thermal layer covering a core of waste rock with average 0.082 wt.% S in the <50 mm fraction, which is within the operational S target of >0.08 wt.% S for the higher S waste rock. Particle size distributions for the lower and higher S waste rock are similar, but the higher S waste rock has a higher proportion of fine-grained particles. Sulfur determinations for discrete particle sizes of the <50 mm fraction illustrate higher S concentrations in smaller particles for both the lower S waste rock and the higher S waste rock. Similarly, S concentrations calculated for the >10 m scale, from composite blast hole cuttings, are lower than those calculated for the <50 mm scale. Acid–base accounting using standard methods and site-specific mineralogical information was used to calculate the ratio of neutralization potential to acid generating potential. A comparison of calculation approaches to pH and alkalinity data from humidity cell and test pile effluent suggest that ratios are very sensitive to the calculation method. The preferred calculation method was selected by comparing calculation results to pH and alkalinity data from humidity cell effluent collected over 95 weeks and test pile effluent collected over five field seasons. The preferred acid–base accounting values were obtained by calculating the average neutralization potential divided by the average acid potential of a sample set. This approach indicates that waste rock with >0.05 wt.% S is of uncertain acid-generating potential and effluent data indicate this waste rock generates acidic effluent; whereas lower S waste rock does not produce acidic effluent, consistent with the acid–base accounting predictions.  相似文献

 About 50 million tonnes/year of waste rock from coal-mining is generated in the limited area of the thickly populated Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) in Poland. There are 380 coal-mining waste dumps, including 76 active dump sites covering over 2,000 ha. About 15-16 million tonnes/year of waste rock is being reused for civil engineering purposes in the same area. This brings about a problem of ground water deterioration by constituents leached from waste rock exposed to atmospheric conditions. The major factors determining the ground water contamination potential from waste rock are chloride salinity, sulfur content and acid generation potential. The concept behind the presented studies was to provide data for correct evaluation and prediction of contaminant release from the waste rock, based on the characterization of coal-mining waste properties, as well as on long-term laboratory, lysimetric and field studies. The results show that coal-mining waste dumps can be a long-term source of ground water contamination, lasting for decades and increasing with time. Ground water down-gradient from the disused 15–30-years-old part of the studied dump displays high and increasing acidification, high TDS, SO4, and the highest, still increasing concentrations of Mn, Fe and Zn. Cost-effective and efficient pollution control measures, similar to the presented design and construction elements of the dump site, can mitigate the negative environmental impacts.

Analysis of Cracking in Rock Salt   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
Summary ?The use of underground mines in salt-rock formations for waste repositories makes the precise analysis of isolation properties of rock salt very important. One of the main mechanisms responsible for a degradation of isolation ability of the rock salt is the generation and development of cracks under influence of mining processes. Various aspects of cracking in salt rocks are studied – both in situ and in laboratory tests – for rocks of the world's largest Verkhnekamskoe potash-ore deposit (Russia). It is shown that not all the discontinuities (fractures) are closed in the course of the creep deformation of rocks. Parameters of cracking are determined for various conditions: age of pillars, mining technology, etc. Different methods – filtration, electrometric, nuclear magnetic resonance, mechanical tests – are used for crack observation and characterisation, both in specimens and in situ. Traditional investigations (partly with specially designed equipment) are accomplished by the testing methods of fracture mechanics for determination of critical values of stress intensity factors K Ic and K IIc. The problems and ways of the use of the obtained results in analysis of isolation properties for areas in vicinity of underground mines and/or waste repositories are discussed.  相似文献

The physicochemical processes that affect acid mine drainage (AMD) in unsaturated waste rock piles and the capabilities of small-scale laboratory experiments to predict AMD from waste rock are not well understood. An integrated laboratory and field study to measure and compare low sulfide waste rock and drainage characteristics at various scales has been initiated. This paper describes the design, construction and instrumentation of three field-scale experimental waste rock piles (test piles), and six active zone lysimeters at the Diavik diamond mine in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The test piles are comprised of granitic and sulfide-bearing metasedimentary waste rock excavated during open pit mining operations. One test pile contains waste rock with a target S content of <0.04 wt.% S; the second test pile contains waste rock with a target S content of >0.08 wt.% S; and the third test pile contains the higher sulfide waste rock (>0.08 wt.% S) and was re-sloped and capped with a low permeability till layer and a low sulfide waste rock cover. The first two test piles are approximately 15 m high with bases of 50 m by 60 m, and the re-sloped test pile has a larger base of 80 m by 125 m. Instrumentation was selected to measure matrix flow, geochemistry of pore water and drainage, gas-phase O2 concentration, temperature evolution, microbiological populations, waste rock permeability to air, and thermal conductivity, as well as to resolve mass and flow balances. Instrument locations were selected to characterize coupled physicochemical processes at multiple scales and the evolution of those processes over time. Instruments were installed at a density such that the number of instruments that survived construction (40% to >80% by instrument type) was sufficient to allow adequate characterization of the physicochemical processes occurring at various scales in the test piles.  相似文献

The vast expanse of Mesozoic igneous rocks in Hong Kong contain important geological records of late Mesozoic magmatic events and tectonic processes from the coastal region of Southeast China. Of these,the Ping Chau Formation in the northwestern New Territories is the youngest known stratum. We perform a detailed study of the volcanic rocks of the Ping Chau Formation utilizing zircon U-Pb dating,with major and trace elements geochemistry. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb data reveal Early Cretaceous age from two volcanic rock samples, with zircon crystallization from magmas at 140.3 ± 0.8 Ma and 139.3 ± 0.9 Ma,respectively. These rocks have high contents of total alkalis(Na_2O + K_2O = 5.58-9.45 wt.%), high-field-strength elements and light rare earth elements, conspicuous negative Eu anomalies, and depletions in Nb, Ta, Ti, Sr, Ba and P. Using this data, in combination with previous studies on the late Mesozoic volcanic belt in Southeast China, we propose that the volcanic rocks of the Ping Chau Formation probably originated from deep melting of the crust in a back-arc extensional setting induced by the subduction of the paleo-Pacific Plate. This formation represents the final stages of Early Cretaceous volcanic activity in Hong Kong, as associated with large-scale lithospheric extension, thinning and magmatism. Our results provide new information that can be used in evaluating the significance of Early Cretaceous volcanism and tectonics in Southeast China.  相似文献

Dissolved Rn was determined in 192 samples collected from cold shallow volcanic and sedimentary aquifers, deep thermal aquifers and from waters associated with bubbling gases in the western sector of the Sabatini Volcanic District and the Tolfa Mountains (central Italy). Shallow aquifers hosted in the Quaternary volcanic complexes show values ranging from 1.0 to 352 Bq/L (median value 55 and inter-quartile distance 62 Bq/L), while waters circulating within the permeable horizons of the sandy-to-clayey sediments of the Tolfa flysch have values from 1.0 to 44 Bq/L (median value 6.9 and inter-quartile distance 8.1 Bq/L). Thermal waters are hosted in the Mesozoic carbonate formations and move towards the surface along faults. Here, dissolved Rn values range from 0 to 37 Bq/L (median value 3.0 and inter-quartile distance 9.5 Bq/L). Waters associated with bubbling gases show dissolved Rn contents ranging from 2.0 to 48 Bq/L (median value 6.2 and inter-quartile distance 23 Bq/L). Those results suggest that lithology is the main factor affecting the Rn contents in shallow aquifers, due to the high levels of Rn progenitors U and Ra in the volcanic rocks relative to sedimentary units. The influence of other factors such as the presence of a fracture network, seasonal flow variations, type of discharge (from well or spring) was also investigated. Radon contents of thermal waters result from mixing with shallow waters (from both volcanic and sedimentary rock aquifers) and decrease of Rn solubility with temperature, while for bubbling pools the effects of strong degassing were also considered.In terms of health hazard from direct ingestion of Rn-rich waters, 20.8% of those circulating within the volcanic aquifer show values higher than the recommended value of 100 Bq/L, while none of those circulating within the sedimentary aquifers exceed the threshold value. Geostatistical techniques were used for the elaboration of contour maps by using variogram models and kriging estimation aimed at defining the areas where a potential health hazard due to the direct ingestion of Rn-rich waters and to inhalation of air following degassing of Rn from waters may be expected.  相似文献

This paper reports a preliminary investigation of CO2 sequestration and seal integrity at Teapot Dome oil field, Wyoming, USA, with the objective of predicting the potential risk of CO2 leakage along reservoir-bounding faults. CO2 injection into reservoirs creates anomalously high pore pressure at the top of the reservoir that could potentially hydraulically fracture the caprock or trigger slip on reservoir-bounding faults. The Tensleep Formation, a Pennsylvanian age eolian sandstone is evaluated as the target horizon for a pilot CO2 EOR-carbon storage experiment, in a three-way closure trap against a bounding fault, termed the S1 fault. A preliminary geomechanical model of the Tensleep Formation has been developed to evaluate the potential for CO2 injection inducing slip on the S1 fault and thus threatening seal integrity. Uncertainties in the stress tensor and fault geometry have been incorporated into the analysis using Monte Carlo simulation. The authors find that even the most pessimistic risk scenario would require ∼10 MPa of excess pressure to cause the S1 fault to reactivate and provide a potential leakage pathway. This would correspond to a CO2 column height of ∼1,500 m, whereas the structural closure of the Tensleep Formation in the pilot injection area does not exceed 100 m. It is therefore apparent that CO2 injection is not likely to compromise the S1 fault stability. Better constraint of the least principal stress is needed to establish a more reliable estimate of the maximum reservoir pressure required to hydrofracture the caprock.  相似文献

Ecological restoration of the Wangaloa coal mine in southern New Zealand is hindered by a range of geoecological factors. The site has some substrate acidification (down to pH 1) and acid rock drainage with discharge waters initially down to pH 4, although this has since risen to ca. pH 6. Surface and ground waters develop elevated sulfate (up to 700 mg/kg) during oxidation of pyrite in coal and quartz in waste rock. Coal has elevated boron content (up to 450 mg/kg) and surface waters on coal-rich waste rock have up to 6 mg/L dissolved boron. Evaporation causes formation of salt encrustations dominated by gypsum with minor boron salts. Boron is bioavailable and may be at toxic levels (>200 mg/kg) in some plants. Quartz-rich waste rock is readily eroded, and develops a cm-scale low-nutrient quartz pebble armouring layer with low water retention properties. All waste rocks including loess siltstone have low nutrient contents, and low moisture retention properties, that are barely sufficient for plant establishment. Native plants introduced to the site during rehabilitation have grown on loess substrate (up to fivefold increase in height over 3 years), with poor or no growth on coal-rich and quartz-rich substrates. In contrast, natural colonisation of manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) has been most effective at revegetation on even the most hostile substrates. This natural revegetation has been facilitated by islands of manuka established accidentally during 60 years of mining history. Manuka from local genetic stock is most viable for this revegetation, and introduced manuka seedlings have had a 70% mortality rate. Natural plant colonisation is the key step in overall ecosystem recovery, and invertebrates rapidly colonise beneath new shrubs irrespective of the nature of the substrate from vegetation islands that have high invertebrate numbers and species richness.  相似文献

Phosphate mining in southeastern Idaho has historically resulted in the release of dissolved metals and inorganics to groundwater and surface water, primarily due to leachate from waste rock in backfilled pits and overburden storage piles. Selenium (Se) is of particular concern due to its high concentration in leachate and its limited attenuation downgradient of source zones under oxic conditions. Assessments of potential groundwater/surface water impacts from waste rock typically involve laboratory characterization using saturated and unsaturated flow columns packed with waste rock. In this study, we compare the results of saturated and unsaturated column tests with groundwater quality data from the Mountain Fuel, Champ, South and Central Rasmussen Ridge Area (SCRRA), Smoky Canyon, Ballard, Henry, and Enoch Valley Mines, to understand the release and attenuation of Se in different geochemical environments. Column studies and field results demonstrate that the ratio of aqueous Se to aqueous sulfate (Se:SO4 ratio) is a useful metric for understanding Se release and attenuation, where the extent of sulfate reduction is much less than Se reduction. Comparison of dissolved Se and sulfate results suggests that the net leachability of Se from unsaturated waste rock is variable. Overall, Se concentrations in groundwater directly beneath waste rock dumps is not as high as would be predicted from unsaturated columns. Lower Se:SO4 ratios are observed immediately beneath waste rock dumps and backfilled pits relative to areas receiving shallow waste rock runoff. It is hypothesized that Se released in the oxic upper portions of the waste rock is subsequently attenuated via reductive precipitation at depth in unsaturated, low-oxygen portions of the waste rock. This highlights an important mechanism by which Se may be naturally attenuated within waste rock piles prior to discharge to groundwater and surface water. These results have important implications for mining practices in the region. A better understanding of Se dynamics can help drive waste rock management during active mining and capping/water management options during post-mining reclamation.  相似文献

The candidate repository for high-level nuclear waste in the Gorleben salt dome, Germany, is expected to host 8,550 tonnes of uranium in burnt fuel. It has been proposed that 5,440 waste containers be deposited at a depth of about 800?m. There is 260?C280?m of siliciclastic cover sediments above the proposed repository. The potential groundwater contamination in the siliciclastic aquifer is simulated with the TOUGHREACT and TOUGH2-MP codes for a three-dimensional model with 290,435 elements. Two deterministic cases are simulated. The single-phase case considers the transport of radionuclides in the liquid phase only. The two-phase case accounts for hydrogen gas generated by the corrosion of waste containers and release of gaseous C-14. The gas release via a backfilled shaft is assumed to be steady (non-explosive). The simulation period is 2,000,000 years for the single-phase case and 7,000 years for the two-phase case. Only the radioactive dose in the two-phase case is higher than the regulatory limit (0.1?mSv/a).  相似文献

The present-day landscape in Central Germany, in particular the region of Leipzig, Halle and Bitterfeld, is characterized by the scars of former industrial activities. Vast districts have been devastated by lignite strip mining. Industrial and domestic waste, residues from ore smelting, and highly toxic waste products from petrochemical plants and pesticide production were deposited in abandoned pits near population centers. The chief effects of waste on the environment are the contamination of groundwater by dissolved pollutants, the acidification of soil and water by the oxidation of pyrite-containing mining waste, and the salinization of shallow aquifers by rising brines from adjacent confined groundwater affected by mining. The consequences for the region are serious: mining lakes used for recreational purposes are contaminated by leachates from adjacent waste dumps. Pyrite-containing refuse from lignite mining under oxidation gives rise to the acidification of surface and groundwater, a basic condition for pollutant mobilization. In former metal mining districts, metalliferous and radioactive residues from smelting jeopardize public health. These effects are described in detail using three case studies.

Macquarie Harbour in southwest Tasmania, Australia, has been affected severely by the establishment of mines in nearby Queenstown in the 1890s. As well as heavy metal-laden acid rock drainage from the Mount Lyell mine area, over 100 Mt of mine tailings and slag were discharged into the Queen and Ring Rivers, with an estimated 10 Mt of mine tailings building a delta of ca. 2.5 km2 and ca. 10 Mt of fine tailings in the harbour beyond the delta. Coring of sediments throughout Macquarie Harbour indicated that mine tailings accreted most rapidly close to the King River delta source with a significant reduction in thickness of tailings and heavy metal contamination with increasing distance from the King River source. Close to the King River delta the mine tailings are readily discriminated from the background estuarine sediments on the basis of visual logging of the core (laminations, colour), sediment grain size, sediment magnetic susceptibility and elemental geochemistry, especially concentrations of the heavy metals Cu, Zn and Pb. The high heavy metal concentrations are demonstrated by the very high contamination factors (CF > 6) for Cu and Zn, with CF values mostly >50 for Cu for the mine-impacted sediments. Although the addition of mine waste into the King River catchment has ceased, the catchment continues to be a source of these heavy metals due to acid rock drainage and remobilisation of mine waste in storage in the river banks, river bed and delta. The addition of heavy metals to the harbour sourced from the Mount Lyell mines preceded the advent of direct tailings disposal into the Queen River in 1915 with the metals probably provided by acid rock drainage from the Mount Lyell mining area.  相似文献
