Introduction
The greening of the metallurgical mine is an important measure to complete the ecological environment protection responsibility. The ecological environment of the metallurgical mine has a direct effect on the health and living environment of the people in the local and surrounding areas. Due to the long-term accumulation of industrial dust, noise, acid rain and other environmental pollution sources caused by mining, the ecological environment of mining sites has become a major environmental problem. Therefore, in order to realize the greening of metallurgical mines, green transformation and urban greening of metallurgical mines must be actively carried out.
Ecological Environment Issues Caused by Metallurgical Mines
Metallurgical mines often cause serious damage to the local ecological environment due to the lack of effective control of the production process and improper use of industrial waste. These negative impacts include air quality damage caused by dust, sound pollution caused by noise, water pollution caused by industrial wastewater, landscape damage and resource consumption caused by land use and so on. Tremendous damage has been done to the local biological diversity, with local plant and animal habitats becoming severely degraded. In addition, because of the long-term accumulation of pollutants, acid rain has become a serious problem around the metallurgical mine.
Greening Strategy for Metallurgical Mine
The “greening” of metallurgical mine is a complex process, which requires the enterprise to take comprehensive measures from the aspects of transformation, management and cultural development.
(1) Transformation: First of all, enterprises must replace the old production process and equipment with energy-saving, environmentally-friendly and low-emission technologies, and gradually expand the coverage of treatment of industrial emissions to achieve zero emissions. Secondly, enterprises must establish green mining sites and vegetation, establishing so-called “green mining sites.”
(2) management: Enterprises should strengthen environmental protection responsibility, implement pollution control and industrial waste treatment, and thoroughly eliminate and control industrial waste. Improve the management system of industrial parks and promote the joint use of effective supervision and local government departments to implement environmental management and construction in industrial parks.
(3) Construction of culture: cultivation of personnel with environmental protection consciousness, improvement of professional knowledge and improvement of environmental management ability through training, as well as dissemination and promotion of environmental protection knowledge can cultivate a good atmosphere of environmental protection in the metallurgical mining industry.
Conclusion
The “greening” of metallurgical mine is a complex matter, which requires the enterprise to take comprehensive measures from the aspects of transformation, management and culture. Understanding of the adverse effects that metallurgical mines can have on the local environment will result in an environmentally responsible approach to driving resource extraction and transportation. In the face of the great pressure of environmental protection, the “greening” of metallurgical mines must be actively promoted, as soon as possible.
