A Mining Method of Solid Residues Treatment in Harmony with Mining Environment

Based on the technical advantages of the filling method and the shrinkage method, a shrinkage mining method of synchronous filling and non-pillar with large ore drawing is proposed. Its typical process characteristics are that the isolation layer islaid on the surface of ore pile in advance before drawing largely. Meanwhile, the solid residues are filled synchronously, which enables the ore and solid residues to sink in an even manner. The solid residues are eventually filled to the underground stopes, which not only can improve the underground mining environment, but also protect the surface environment. The new method, therefore, might help solve current environmental problems related to mining practice in China.
