Description

Seepage-proofing method of in-situ leaching sandstone type uranium deposit based on microbial cementation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of in-situ leaching uranium mining, in particular to an anti-seepage method of in-situ leaching sandstone type uranium ores based on microbial cementation.
Background
With the rapid growth of national economy, the high-speed development of nuclear power industry greatly increases the demand for uranium resources. Uranium is used as an important nuclear fuel, is widely applied to nuclear power plants and navigation, and is also an important national defense strategy resource. Meanwhile, uranium is also an important strategic resource, and is an important guarantee for keeping the nuclear deterrence of China effective for a long time and the sustainable development of nuclear military industry. With the rapid development of nuclear industry and national defense industry in China, a great deal of uranium resources are required to meet the demands of national development strategy, and the production capacity of natural uranium in China must be increased.
Over the last 20 years, the technology of on-site leaching uranium mining has become the main method for natural uranium production at home and abroad, and will still be dominant for a considerable period of time. At present, the natural uranium produced by adopting the on-site leaching technology is close to 50% of the total world yield, and the on-site leaching uranium has the remarkable advantages of low capital investment, low production cost, environmental friendliness and the like. However, leaching solution, U (VI) and heavy metal ions are easy to diffuse to the periphery of an ore-bearing aquifer and an upper aquifer and a lower aquifer in the process of leaching uranium extraction on the spot, so that the drinking water safety of human beings is greatly influenced; and leaching solution diffuses and runs off to the periphery of the mining area, so that the consumption and waste of leaching agent are increased, and more importantly, the peripheral groundwater is adversely affected; conversely, if a large amount of peripheral groundwater is flushed into the seam, the leaching solution is diluted, and the leaching efficiency is reduced. In addition, after the mining area is retired, the underground water still contains SO 4 2- ,NO 3 - ,U(VI)、H + And heavy metal ions and the like, the pollutants threaten downstream groundwater resources through permeation migration, and have great influence on industrial and agricultural production and drinking water safety of human beings, and become bottlenecks for restricting development of uranium leaching technology. Therefore, pollution must be strictly controlled and eliminated from the source, so that the isolation layers around the in-situ leaching uranium mining area and the top and bottom plates have good water stopping effect; the method for controlling the diffusion of leaching solution to the periphery and the flushing of peripheral groundwater into the ore layer is researched, so that the clean, green and efficient development of the on-site leaching uranium mining technology is realized, and the method is a scientific problem which has great practical significance and is solved by the on-site leaching uranium mining engineering technicians and scientific researchers facing urgent needs.
At present, in order to reduce the influence of leaching solution, U (VI) and heavy metal ions on groundwater and surrounding environment, a method for controlling the balance of pumping and injecting liquid is mainly adopted, and although the diffusion of pollutants to groundwater environment can be effectively controlled to a certain extent, the method is influenced by factors such as stratum conditions, pumping and injecting technology, continuous and stable operation capability of a pumping and injecting system and the like, so that the purposes of accurately controlling and thoroughly radically treating the pollutants are difficult to achieve. In recent years, methods for improving the permeation resistance and strength of media have been proposed by filling pores in the media with microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) bonds; however, the method has the defects of low structural strength of the generated calcium carbonate, toxicity, harm, lack of evaluation and the like of microorganism metabolic end products, and still needs to be studied in depth from the aspects of culture of dominant bacteria, strengthening of organic matters, microorganism cementation mechanism and the like.
In addition, the existing MICP technology is used for repairing ancient architecture and concrete cracks, solidifying heavy metals, modifying rock soil, sealing microorganism and the like, but the problems of high environmental selectivity, complex action mechanism between microorganism and the environment are caused by microorganism growth, and the like, so that whether the MICP technology can reach the research results in the complex environment is still a problem worthy of marshalling and research. Particularly, in the in-situ leaching uranium mining environment, the environment contains leaching solution, U (VI), heavy metal ions and other pollutants, and contains complex organic matters and other impurities, so that the living environment of microorganisms is bad, and the growth, the reproductive capacity and the cementing effect of strains are affected. Therefore, the application of MICP technology in the complex environment of in-situ leaching uranium extraction is still the main research direction and the technical problem to be overcome in the future.
In view of the above, there is a need to design a method for the prevention of seepage of in-situ leaching sandstone-type uranium ores based on microbial cementation to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Example 2
Compared with the embodiment 1, the seepage prevention method for the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium ore based on microbial cementation is different in that a solid culture medium is adopted as a domestication culture medium of bacillus pasteurizus, 15g of casein peptone, 5g of soybean peptone, 5g of sodium chloride, 20g of urea and 20g of agar powder are dissolved in an in-situ leaching production liquid per 1000mL of the solid culture medium, and the in-situ leaching production liquid is used for dissolving to 1000mL, and the pH is 7.3.
Examples 3 to 4
The seepage prevention method for the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium ores based on microbial cementation provided in examples 3 to 4 is different from example 1 in that calcium sources are calcium acetate and calcium nitrate respectively, and the rest is the same as example 1, and is not repeated here.
The results of scanning electron microscope characterization analysis of the cemented sandstone type in-situ uranium deposit impermeable water-barrier materials treated by different calcium sources in example 1, example 3 and example 4 are shown in fig. 2, wherein (a), (b) and (c) respectively use calcium chloride, calcium acetate and calcium nitrate as calcium sources. As can be seen from the results, calcite crystals are produced between the sandstone particles to which different calcium sources are added, but the calcium source used in example 1 is calcium chloride, the amount of calcite being the greatest; in addition, aragonite and vaterite are present in the other prepared barrier layers except those prepared with calcium acetate as the calcium source.
Example 5
The seepage-proofing method for the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium ore based on microbial cementation provided in example 5 is different from that in example 1 in that the strain used is not domesticated, and the rest is the same as that in example 1, and the performance test results of example 1 and example 5 are shown in the following table.
Example 6
The method for preventing seepage of a microbial cementation-based in-situ-leaching sandstone uranium ore provided in example 6 is different from example 1 in that a liquid culture medium used in domestication of strains, 15g of casein peptone, 5g of soybean peptone, 5g of sodium chloride and 20g of urea are mixed, dissolved in a mixed solution composed of 50% deionized water and 50% in-situ leaching production solution, and the mixed solution is used for volume fixation to 1000mL, pH is adjusted to 7.3, and sterilization is performed for 30min; the remainder is the same as example 1, and the results of the performance tests of example 1 and example 6 are shown in the following table, and are not repeated here.
Table 1 results of performance tests of example 1 and examples 5-6
As is clear from Table 1, the permeation coefficient of example 5 was significantly higher than that of examples 1 and 6 when the domesticated strain was used, and the permeation coefficient was decreased to a lower extent before and after the cementation than that of examples 1 and 6. It is indicated whether the domestication of the strain can significantly affect the anti-seepage performance of the in-situ-immersed uranium mine water-proof layer, and the domestication of the strain by adopting the in-situ-immersed production liquid to prepare the culture medium in the embodiment 1 has the best anti-seepage performance of the in-situ-immersed uranium mine water-proof layer, so that the anti-seepage performance and the water-stopping effect of the in-situ-immersed uranium mine water-proof layer can be significantly improved.
Examples 7 to 10
Compared with example 1, the seepage prevention method for the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium ore based on microbial cementation provided in examples 7-10 is different in that the organic matrix proteins used in examples 7-9 are bovine serum albumin, collagen and fibroin respectively, no organic matrix protein is added in the experimental process in example 10, the rest is the same as example 1, and the results of the performance tests of examples 1 and examples 7-10 are shown in the following table.
Table 2 results of performance tests of example 1 and examples 7-10
As can be seen from Table 2, the osmotic coefficient of example 10 after the experiment was significantly higher than that of examples 1 and 7-9 without the addition of organic matrix protein, indicating that the organic matrix protein promoted the strain-induced calcium carbonate production. The experimental permeability coefficient of examples 7-9 is slightly larger than that of example 1, and the reduction degree of the experimental permeability coefficient is lower than that of example 1, which shows that the adoption of egg white as the water-soluble organic matrix protein and the cooperation of microorganism to induce calcium carbonate to precipitate the cementing impermeable water-proof layer can obviously improve the impermeability and the water-stopping effect of the impermeable water-proof layer of the in-situ uranium ore.
Examples 11 to 15
The seepage control method for the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium ores based on microbial cementation provided in examples 11 to 15 is different from example 1 in the amount ratio of domesticated strains to urea, calcium source and organic matrix protein, and the rest is the same as example 1, and detailed experimental condition parameters and performance test results are shown in the following table.
TABLE 3 specific experimental condition parameters and performance test results for example 1 and examples 11-15
As shown in Table 3, changing the ratio of the strain to urea, calcium source and organic matrix protein in step S2 has a significant effect on the permeability resistance of the impermeable and water-resistant layer of the in-situ leaching uranium mine, and the impermeable and water-resistant layer of the in-situ leaching uranium mine prepared under the conditions of example 1 has the best permeability resistance. As can be seen from the results of comparative examples 1, 11-14 and 15, the invention can obviously improve the impermeability and water-stopping effect of the impermeable water-resistant layer of the in-situ leaching uranium mine by using the water-soluble organic matrix protein with proper concentration to cooperate with the microorganism to induce the calcium carbonate to precipitate the impermeable water-resistant layer, thereby controlling and reducing groundwater environment pollution and providing a new thought for solving the development of in-situ leaching uranium mining technology.
Examples 16 to 19
The seepage control method for the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium ores based on microbial cementation provided in examples 16 to 19 is different from example 1 in that the molar concentration of the calcium source is changed, and the rest is the same as example 1, and detailed experimental condition parameters and performance test results are shown in the following table.
TABLE 4 specific experimental condition parameters and performance test results for example 1 and examples 16-19
As is clear from the results in Table 4, the activity of Bacillus pasteurizer showed a decreasing trend with increasing concentration of calcium source, indicating that the increase of calcium ion concentration has an effect of inhibiting urease activity, so that the concentration of calcium source in the environment of uranium mining mountain is preferably 0.5 to 2.5mol/L. Meanwhile, as shown in the results of comparative examples 1 and examples 16 to 19, the change of the calcium source concentration has a significant effect on the permeability coefficient of the prepared cement sandstone type in-situ leaching uranium mine impermeable and water-proof layer material, and the impermeable performance of the in-situ leaching uranium mine impermeable and water-proof layer prepared under the condition of example 1 is optimal.
In summary, according to the seepage-proofing method of the in-situ leaching sandstone uranium deposit based on microbial cementation, strains with high-efficiency urease activity are screened out under the in-situ leaching uranium mining environment, strain activation, growth and propagation are carried out, and the optimal water-soluble organic matrix protein with the effect of strengthening microorganism-induced calcium carbonate precipitation is screened out; the domesticated strain, a culture medium, cementing liquid and optimal water-soluble organic matrix protein are prepared according to a certain proportion, and then are injected into an aquifer of the in-situ-immersed sandstone-type uranium deposit, so that the effects of seepage prevention and water isolation are achieved. The invention makes the microorganism induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology suitable for the complex environment of in-situ leaching uranium, reduces the adverse effect caused by the bidirectional permeation of pollutants and groundwater in the in-situ leaching uranium, prevents the in-situ leaching uranium from affecting the drinking water safety of human beings, and provides important theoretical guidance and technical support for solving the development bottleneck of the in-situ leaching uranium technology.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and not for limiting the same, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications and equivalents may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
