Risikobeurteilung von Bodenverflüssigungsereignissen auf Innenkippen des Lausitzer Braunkohlereviers

Weißbach, Jörg 08 June 2020 (has links)
Im Lausitzer Braunkohlerevier wurden eine Vielzahl von Braunkohletagebauen stillgelegt und rekultiviert. In den locker gelagerten und überwiegend aus sandigem Boden bestehenden Kippen kam es im Zuge des Grundwasseranstieges seit ca. 2006 zu einer erheblichen Anzahl von Bodenverflüssigungsereignissen. Diese stellen eine Gefährdung für Personen dar und führten daher zu Sperrungen der Kippenflächen. Das Ziel der Arbeit war es, das Risiko für Personenschäden durch Bodenverflüssigungsereignisse auf Innenkippen des Lausitzer Braunkohlereviers zu ermitteln. Die Ergebnisse bilden eine Möglichkeit, Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit auf der Kippe angepasst zu planen und damit eine bessere gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz zu erreichen. An Beispielen wird in der Arbeit dargestellt, wie der Grad der Gefährdung von Personen durch unterschiedliche Prozesse ermittelt und dargestellt werden kann. Die einfachen physikalischen bzw. empirischen Zusammenhänge bilden die Grundlage zur Ermittlung des Risikos, das Eintrittswahrscheinlichkeit und Schadensausmaß eines Bodenverflüssigungsereignisses berücksichtigt. Der Prozess der spontanen Bodenverflüssigung auf Kippen wird beschrieben. Es wird herausgearbeitet, dass die Auswirkungen eines Bodenverflüssigungsereignisses wesentlich von der Gestalt der Geländeoberfläche und der Lage des Grundwasserspiegels relativ zur Geländeoberfläche abhängen. Für die Geländemorphologie wird die Maßgeblichkeitszahl als Kenngröße genutzt, um zusammen mit dem Grundwasserflurabstand eine empirische Abhängigkeit der Auswirkungen eines Bodenverflüssigungsereignisses zu begründen. Mit diesen Ergebnissen wird auf Basis eines digitalen Geländemodells und eines Grundwassermodells eine Gefährdungskarte abgeleitet. Durch die räumliche Auswertung der Gefährdungskarte und einer angenommenen Zahl von Personen, die auf der geplanten Nutzung der Kippen beruht, wird das kollektive Risiko für Personenschäden berechnet. In die Berechnung geht auch die Eintrittswahrscheinlichkeit von Bodenverflüssigungsereignissen ein, die tagebaubezogen auf Grundlage von Auswertungen von digitalen Geländemodellen im Zeitraum von 2006 bis 2018 ermittelt wurde. Das ermittelte Risiko durch Bodenverflüssigung wird mit Risiken des Alltags verglichen. Darauf aufbauend wird ein Grenzrisiko vorgeschlagen. Die Ergebnisse werden interpretiert und es wird eine Empfehlung abgegeben, wie mit dem ermittelten Risiko umgegangen werden kann. / In the Lusatian lignite mining area, a large number of opencast lignite mines were closed down and recultivated. In the loosely stored tips, which mainly consist of sandy soil, a considerable number of soil liquefaction events have occurred in the course of the groundwater rise since approx. 2006. These represent a hazard to persons and therefore led to the closure of the tipping areas. The aim of the work was to determine the risk of personal injury caused by soil liquefaction events on inner tips of the Lusatian brown coal mining area. The results provide an opportunity to plan actions to improve safety on the dump and thus achieve better social acceptance. The paper uses examples to illustrate how the degree of risk to people posed by different processes can be determined and represented. The simple physical and empirical correlations form the basis for determining the risk which takes into account the probability of occurrence and the extent of damage of a soil liquefaction event. The process of spontaneous soil liquefaction on tips is described. It is worked out that the effects of a soil liquefaction event depend essentially on the shape of the terrain surface and the position of the groundwater level relative to the terrain surface. For the terrain morphology, the significance number is used as a parameter in order to establish an empirical dependence of the effects of a soil liquefaction event together with the groundwater level. With these results, a hazard map is derived on the basis of a digital terrain model and a groundwater model. By spatial evaluation of the hazard map and an assumed number of persons based on the planned use of the tips, the collective risk of personal injury is calculated. The calculation also includes the probability of soil liquefaction events occurring, which was determined on the basis of evaluations of digital terrain models in the period from 2006 to 2018. The calculated risk from soil liquefaction is compared with everyday risks. Based on this, a limiting risk is proposed. The results are interpreted and a recommendation is given on how to deal with the identified risk.

Transportation system selection in open-pit mines (Truck-Shovel and IPCC systems) based on the technical, economic, environmental, safety, and social (TEcESaS) indexes

Abbaspour, Hossein 12 January 2021 (has links)
The production of raw materials through mining projects is nowadays very challenging, mainly due to the rapid progress in the industrial and technological fields. On the one hand, they have to fulfill industries' requirements in their demand for materials while making a profit based on the current technologies. On the other hand, they should consider all other limitations, primarily environmental and social challenges that are confronting. The transportation system in any mining project is one of the most significant parts, especially in the technical and economic issues. It must transfer the planned volume of ore/waste that the whole stream of the mining process would not be interrupted and, it can cover the technical challenges and the costs imposed on the project. Additionally, it should be designed and selected to have the lowest environmental impact and the highest safety during the operation. Accordingly, a transportation system selection process that considers all these factors is one of the challenging issues in any mining project. Although the Truck-Shovel system is known as the conventional transportation in open-pit mines, which is preferable because of the low capital cost and high flexibility, it still imposes a high rate of operating costs, safety issues as well as environmental footprints. In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems are the alternative transportation systems for the Truck-Shovel systems, in which the material is crushed inside the mine’s pit limit and transferred into the outside through conveyor belts. Although these systems are not new, they are mostly neglected as a transportation option basically due to the high capital cost and low flexibility. On the contrary, they can offer more environmentally friendly and safer working areas and a lower operating cost. According to these facts, each transportation system is preferable in a couple of technical, economic, environmental, safety, and social issues. Accordingly, in each circumstance, one or more of these systems can be used in the mining project. However, there is not yet a way or tool that investigates the transportation system selection along with the mine life that takes into account all of these factors. To fill this gap, this project aims to define a model to introduce all these elements while it is interactively connected throughout the mine life. For this and as the first step, the system dynamics modeling is defined and used to build the model for all the technical, economic, environmental, safety, and social factors. As an output of this step, software entitled “TEcESaS Indexes” is designed and produced through Venapp that makes working with the model comfortable. As the second step, a selection method based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is performed that the transportation system selection regarding all the mentioned factors can be made. As the output in this step, the “Sustainability Index” software programmed in the Java language is developed. Considering a hypothetical copper open-pit mine as the case study and implementing the designed software, the results show although the Truck-Shovel system should be used in the first two years of the project (2016 and 2017) in the single expert and deterministic mode, the Fully Mobile In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (FMIPCC) system shows the highest sustainability index among other transportation systems from 2018 until the end of the mine life. While in the group decision making and deterministic simulation, the Truck-Shovel system should be utilized from 2016 to 2020. Additionally, in the group decision making and stochastic mode, the FMIPCC is the selected transportation system with the highest sustainability index probability.
