The choice of a method for protecting the environment from pollution when mining asbestos-containing ore

Abstract

The article analyzes the mechanism of contamination of quarry waters during drilling and blasting preparation of asbestos-containing raw materials under the influence of man-made and natural factors, which can serve as a basis for making specific technological decisions that reduce the negative impact on the environment during the development of chrysotile-asbestos deposits. The dependence of the intake of nitrogen compounds in quarry waters on the consumption of explosives and the volume of formation of quarry waters is presented. The article shows the possibility of using the purification of quarry water in the spent open mine workings, the sides of which are composed of plastic asbestos-containing rocks. The relationship between the volumes of internaldumping and contamination of open pit drainage waters is analyzed.
