Investigation methods and application cases of thallium-related pollution sources in mining enterprises

Abstract

Based on data collection, field investigation, sampling and monitoring, statistical analysis of data, an innovative method combining field investigation and monitoring data was proposed. Taking a typical copper mining enterprise as an example, this method is applied to investigate the thallium-related pollution sources in the enterprise, and according to the problems found in the investigation, it is summarized and analyzed that the potential pollution risks such as the storage and transfer of raw materials and waste residues, the unorganized discharge of dust and environmental management should be paid more attention to. The regulation plan and control measures are put forward, which can provide experience for similar copper mining enterprises to carry out thallium-related pollution sources investigation.
