METHOD FOR PRESERVATION AND ISOLATION ANTHROPOGENIC DEPOSITS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E02D3/12 E02B3/16 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of ecology and environmental management, in particular to methods of waterproofing heap leach pads and waste deposits, in particular to the creation of screens of tailing dumps, sludge tanks, solid domestic waste landfills and bulk arrays preventing environmental pollution by toxic components and dusting as a result of infiltration and erosion processes. In the method of the preservation and isolation of anthropogenic deposits, which consists in preparing a waterproofing mixture containing polyethylene wastes, laying it on the surface of the storage area, application to the chilled surface of a drainage layer of a coarse material, preliminarily in screening the bulks on the surface of the array body the slope is created of 2-5° from the centre to the edges, after the creation of the said slope 0.2-0.4 m pugged clay and sealing are applied on the surface of the layer, laying of the waterproofing mixture to the prepared surface is carried out extrusively at a temperature of 180-200°C in bands with the width of 2-2.5 m with mutual 0.15-0.2 m overlapping, the said drainage layer is applied with the thickness of 0.1-0.15 m, and the waterproofing mixture as polyethylene wastes contains the polyethylene wastes of high and low pressure, and additionally - polyisobutylene and carbon black, with the following ratio of components, wt %: polyethylene wastes of high pressure 74-76, polyethylene wastes of low pressure 14-16, polyisobutylene 6-7, carbon black 3-4.

EFFECT: formation of the coating that prevents the infiltration of atmospheric waters and productive solutions from the bodies of piles, dumps, sludge tanks and solid domestic waste landfills, increase in the strength of the said coating.
