8 concepts about green mines

"Green" is the main color of nature, green is a symbol of life, health, vitality and hope. But "green" is not a basket into which you can put everything.

With the acceleration of green mine construction, there have been multiple concepts interweaving, such as green exploration, green development, green mine, green mining, mine ecological restoration, mine environmental restoration, mine ecological restoration, mine ecological reconstruction, etc., what is the difference between these words?

It is necessary to distinguish these concepts, can not imitate others, but can not blindly follow, so as not to be "green", so as to enter the "green" misunderstanding.

■ Green exploration

Under the guidance of the concept of green development, green exploration is a new exploration mode that minimizes the negative impact on the ecological environment by adjusting the geological prospecting methods and technologies that have a greater impact on the ecological environment, and adopts advanced prospecting methods, methods, equipment and processes to minimize the environmental impact in the whole process of geological exploration, so as to achieve a win-win situation for both prospecting and environmental protection.

■ Green development

Green development is "green development" in the narrow sense. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the concept of mineral resources development, from the "Interim Measures for the Supervision and Management of Mineral resources" can be seen that one of the preconditions for "mineral resources development" is "mine".

Since it is a mine, "development" is the behavior of mining enterprises that have reached a certain degree of exploration and have been evaluated and registered and obtained mining licenses, including exploration and mining of mining enterprises, but does not include the census, detailed inspection and exploration of geological exploration work that we usually talk about the most.

"Exploration" in "exploitation of mineral resources" refers specifically to the exploration of mining enterprises. Secondly, it refers to the green development of mineral resources, which is a collection of green exploration, clean mining and pollution-free use of mines. It refers to the recovery and reuse of resources and pollutants by using specific machinery and equipment, limiting the discharge of pollutants, and adopting specific technology to carry out green management of the whole process of mineral resources development. Finally achieve the goal of optimizing resources, reducing material consumption, reducing energy consumption, and protecting the environment.

Specifically, the specific machine equipment refers to the mining enterprise after the use of the equipment can save resources, reduce energy consumption, reduce pollutant emissions. Limiting the emission of pollutants means that it is higher than the emission standard in China's technical standards for the control of mine pollution (that is, the allowable content of the pollution contained in the emission of the mine in a unit time).

Specific process technology refers to the mine through the use of some innovative technical means to reduce the emission of pollutants, or the effective treatment of pollutants already produced, so as to improve the utilization efficiency of mineral resources, reduce pollutant emissions. Green management refers to the development of mineral resources in the whole process, formulate the corresponding production, audit, information disclosure and other systems, from a macro level of management, to achieve the goal of harmonious coexistence of mineral resources mining and the environment.

■ Green mine

Green mine is relative to the traditional extensive mine with high exploitation, low utilization and high emission. Green mine refers to the whole process of mineral resources development, not only to strictly implement scientific and orderly mining, but also to control the disturbance of the mining area and the surrounding environment within the range of environmental tolerance.

Green mine is not a simple "green mine", planting trees and grass, but covers the whole industrial chain of mining, safety, production, management, environmental protection, resource utilization, scientific and technological innovation, community harmony, corporate culture and other deep "green", it can be said that green mine construction runs through the whole process of mine development such as mine planning, design, construction, operation and mine closure.

Once the mine is closed, that is to say, the mine that is no longer in production, even the minimum "mine" is not anymore, what is the "green mine"? It can only be regarded as ecological restoration or environmental restoration or ecological restoration or ecological reconstruction of industrial brownfield or abandoned land, because it no longer meets the requirements of green mine construction, and its disposal work is only limited to the improvement of its ecological environment to the maximum extent.
