Twenty years ago, the concept of "green water and green hills are Jinshan and Yinshan" was born in Anji, Zhejiang Province, pointing out the direction for the construction of ecological civilization in China. The green upgrading practice of Yaotoushan Mine owned by Hanshan Southern Cement Co., Ltd. is the vivid embodiment of this concept. Once, mining activities scarred the land, but Hanshan South did not evade, let alone give up, but resolutely devoted itself to the journey of ecological restoration and green transformation. Enterprises are well aware that only by revitalizing the green vitality of mines can they truly realize the harmonious coexistence of enterprises and nature. After the renovation of Yaotoushan Mine in the south
of Hanshan, the panorama
of ecological restoration makes the scarred earth covered with green clothes
again. "The hidden danger point of landslide in the past is now a place of lush vegetation." In Yaotoushan Mine in the south of Hanshan, this picture of ecological counterattack is particularly shocking. In 2013, a local landslide occurred on the west slope of the mine due to geological reasons, forming a bare slope with a height of 45 meters and a slope of 34 degrees. Dangerous rocks and pumices are everywhere, and soil erosion is serious, which not only affects the safety of mining, but also is extremely inconsistent with the natural environment.
Hanshan South adheres to the sustainable development concept of "mining, management and restoration at the same time", actively fulfills the social responsibility of the central enterprises, and decides to carry out a comprehensive and systematic renovation of the western slope. The pumice on the slope surface was cleaned by mechanical means, and then the slope was reinforced by grid protection net and anchor rod, which laid a solid foundation for the subsequent ecological restoration. By using mixed spraying technology, soil, slow-release fertilizer, plant seeds and other materials were mixed evenly and sprayed accurately, and finally shrubs such as Photinia fraseri and Amorpha fruticosa were planted, which made more than 70000 square meters of slope green again. In
today's Yaotoushan Mine, the green coverage rate of the slope platform has reached 100%, the survival rate of vegetation has exceeded 95%, and the former "ecological scar" has been transformed into a green corridor with symbiotic trees, shrubs and grasses. The quality of the ecological environment has been continuously improved, and the people's sense of "blue sky happiness" and "clear water acquisition" have been continuously enhanced. There is a profound change in the logic of industrial development hidden behind the comparison
of ecological restoration before and after the restoration of Yaotoushan Mine in the south
of Hanshan. The practice of Yaotoushan Mine in the south of Hanshan vividly interprets the dialectical unity of "green water and green hills" and "Jinshan and Yinshan". As a limestone production mine with an annual output of 4.3 million tons, the mine optimizes the mining process and puts the requirements of ecological protection throughout the whole mining process, from introducing advanced equipment to reduce energy consumption, to implementing the integrated management of "slope-support-greening" to reduce ecological costs, and then to ensuring sustainable production with the help of digital monitoring systems such as slope displacement monitoring and environmental monitoring. This series of measures not only significantly improve the utilization rate of mineral resources, but also successfully transform ecological advantages into strong industrial competitiveness. The on-line monitoring system
of
slope displacement can not be separated from the systematic treatment of environmental pollution to control the pollution of the blue sky, clear water and pure land
. The shift from "end treatment" to "source provention and control" not only marks a profound change in the concept of environmental governance, but also brings about a significant improvement in environmental quality. In addition to comprehensively promoting slope greening, a 1100-meter-long intercepting ditch has been built on the top of the southwest slope of the mining area. This intercepting ditch is like an "ecological defense line", which effectively guides rainwater to flow into the north pond in an orderly manner, significantly reduces the erosion of the slope by rainwater, and effectively curbs soil erosion. At the same time, the mine has also designed a set of secondary water supply sprinkler system, which pumps the rainwater collected by the pond to the water tank of + 74 meters platform, and then uses it for the sprinkler irrigation operation of slope greening, thus realizing the efficient recycling of water resources.
Protect the green mountains and rivers, and create an eternal future. The transformation of Southern Yaotoushan Mine in Hanshan is the vivid practice of the concept of "two mountains". From the past ecological trauma to today's green butterfly change, Yaotoushan Mine has not only realized the effective utilization of mineral resources, but also achieved remarkable results in ecological protection and restoration. Southern Hanshan has proved by practical actions that "ecological protection and economic development are not antagonistic, but complementary organic whole".
Standing at a new starting point, Hanshan South will not forget its original intention, keep its mission in mind, continue to contribute to the protection of this green mountain and green water, make the green mountain and green water more moving, make Jinshan and Yinshan more sustainable, and constantly draw a modern beauty of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
At present, the cement industry is facing the double test of energy saving, environmental protection and industrial intelligence upgrading. In order to implement the relevant policy requirements and accelerate the green low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the cement industry, China Cement Network is scheduled for September 23-24. The 14th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and the 6th Intelligent Summit Forum were held in Zibo, Shandong Province. This conference will bring together industry experts, enterprise representatives and many industry stakeholders to gather group wisdom and promote energy-saving, environmental protection and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the cement industry.
