Leaching-seepage process of sodium sulfate in thenardite tailing stack
Provided is a leaching-seepage process of sodium sulfate in a thenardite tailings stack. The process includes the following steps: step 1, providing a mud reserve pit next to the thenardite tailings stack, and ditching a drainage ditch next to a bottom of the thenardite tailings stack; step 2, ditching a leaching pit on the thenardite tailings stack, injecting water, and letting the water stand to leach thenardite tailings; step 3, leaching the thenardite tailings with the water, so that a percolating fluid gradually flows out from the bottom of the thenardite tailings stack; step 4, flushing the bottom of the thenardite tailings stack with a spray gun, to mix the percolating fluid with mud to flow into the drainage ditch; and step 5, settling naturally in the mud reserve pit, and extracting a supernatant from the mud reserve pit by a water pump to obtain refined Glauber's salt water.
1 . A leaching-seepage process of sodium sulfate in a thenardite tailings stack, comprising the following steps:
step 1, providing a mud reserve pit next to the thenardite tailings stack, and ditching a drainage ditch next to a bottom of the thenardite tailings stack, so that a flow direction of the drainage ditch faces the mud reserve pit;
step 2, ditching a leaching pit on the thenardite tailings stack, injecting water into the leaching pit, and letting the water stand to leach thenardite tailings;
step 3, injecting the water into the leaching pit at intervals in the leaching process, and leaching the thenardite tailings with the water, so that a percolating fluid gradually flows out from the bottom of the thenardite tailings stack;
step 4, flushing the bottom of the thenardite tailings stack with a spray gun, to mix the percolating fluid flowing out from the bottom of the thenardite tailings stack with mud at the bottom of the thenardite tailings stack to flow into the drainage ditch; and
step 5, allowing the percolating fluid and the mud in the drainage ditch to inflow into the mud reserve pit, settling naturally in the mud reserve pit, and extracting a supernatant from the mud reserve pit by a water pump to obtain refined Glauber's salt water.
2 . The leaching-seepage process of sodium sulfate in a thenardite tailings stack according to claim 1 , wherein in step 2, the thenardite tailings stack is provided with a plurality of leaching pits, and a distance between adjacent leaching pits is not less than 10 m.
3 . The leaching-seepage process of sodium sulfate in a thenardite tailings stack according to claim 1 , wherein in step 3, the water is injected into the leaching pit at an interval of 12 h in the leaching process.
