Numerical Simulation of the Vegetation Effect on Tailing Sand Atmospheric Transport in Uranium Tailing Impoundment

Article Preview

Abstract:

For two conditions of (non-) vegetation cover in uranium tailings beach face, the concentration distribution and settlement regularity of tailing sand with diameter of 10μm at speed of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 m/s was studied by numerical simulation method. Results shows, with the increase of wind speed and migration distance, particle concentration decreases. Compared with the non-vegetation cover condition, particles concentration in the condition of with vegetation cover is significantly higher than the condition that without vegetation cover; but along with the increase of horizontal distance, the concentration lowers than the latter gradually.
