Standing on the top of Bayin Aobao Sumu in Damao Banner and looking down, there is a 15-kilometer-long ore conveyor belt from the mine to the cement plant. The two sides of the conveyor belt are covered with green grass, mine development and protection go hand in hand, and the concept that green water and green hills are Jinshan and Yinshan is fully practiced here.
From an energy-consuming enterprise to a "green" sustainable development enterprise, it has achieved a magnificent turn because of the construction of green mines.
Walking into Baotou Jidong Cement Plant in Damao Banner, the roads in the plant area are clean and green. A new dry process line with a daily output of 4500 tons, a pure low-temperature waste heat power station for cement, a digital intelligent management and control platform, and a full-process intelligent cement plant.. Innovation has enabled Jidong Cement to achieve real green development. Baotou Jidong Cement Plant in Bayinaobao Sumu
of Damao Banner was established in 2009, with a mining area of 3.771 square kilometers, a total reserve of 170 million tons and a current resource reserve of 154 million tons. It can produce 1.5 million tons of high-quality low-alkali high-strength clinker , 800000 tons of cement and 3 million tons of limestone annually.
Efficient production capacity can not be separated from the support of science and technology. Walking into the central control room of the cement plant, the digital intelligent management and control platform is monitoring the operation of the machines in the plant and grasping the real-time dynamics of the location of the monitors in the plant. The staff sit in front of the computer to deal with the problems fed back by the platform in time.
"Platform built-in data center, large screen display center, stope status model and three-dimensional geological model, all-round display of stope layout, bench distribution, stope boundary and transportation roads and other scenes, on-site remote real-time video monitoring of mining environment, slope online, combined with artificial intelligence, data analysis and early warning." Intelligent management and control of all aspects of mine production will provide a strong guarantee for building a green digital mine. Zhang Yongbin, assistant manager of Baotou Jidong Cement Production Co., Ltd., said.
In addition to installing digital intelligent management and control platform to achieve safety visualization, the company has also completed a series of energy-saving technological renovation projects. "Last year, we completed energy-saving technological renovation projects such as the elimination of high energy-consuming motors and the installation of frequency converters, and now the company is more competitive and has a broader market prospect." Zhang Yongbin said. In addition, the cement plant also added the remaining waste residue, fly ash and waste rock produced by nearby enterprises to the cement production, effectively solving the problem of solid waste pollution around. Only by
laying a good background for green development can we achieve high-quality development. In 2022, the company invested a lot of money in mine geological environment protection and land reclamation, completed the treatment area of 858 mu, and greatly increased the greening rate. At the same time, the cement plant also employs greening engineers and technicians to carry out exploration, planning and trial planting of mined mines, first shaping, covering soil, then hanging nets, sowing, and finally covering grass curtains, using drip irrigation technology to ensure survival rate.
"The vegetation coverage of the mine is rising at a rate visible to the naked eye, the air is cleaner, and the biodiversity has increased, including the species and quantity of wildlife compared with previous years." Wu Quanling, Vice Minister of Baotou Jidong Cement Environmental Protection Department, said.
