In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and thus the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the present disclosure.
Example 1
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an in-situ monitoring system for geological environmental impact of deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining engineering, which is used for monitoring dynamic changes of the engineering geological environmental impact generated in the deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining process, and mainly relates to changes of sediments and bottom water bodies.
In this embodiment, taking a deep-sea polymetallic nodule pipeline lifting type mining method as an example, mining units are firstly divided for polymetallic nodules in a mining area, then the polymetallic nodules of each mining unit are collected by a mining vehicle 5, the polymetallic nodules are conveyed to a mineral transfer station 7 through a hose 6 behind the mining vehicle 5, and finally the polymetallic nodules are lifted to a mining ship 4 by a pipeline lifting system 8. The main approach for generating engineering geological environment influence in the process is the process of collecting ores in a mining unit by the mining vehicle 5, and the disturbance is generated on sediments on the surface layer of the sea bottom, so that the concentration of solid suspended particles in a water body is increased, the solid suspended particles are diffused and generate sedimentation under the action of self weight and hydrodynamic force, and the engineering geological properties of the sediments generating the re-sedimentation are changed. Therefore, the change of the deposit property of the mining area is taken as an important monitoring object in the invention.
Aiming at a target monitoring object, dividing a deep sea polymetallic nodule mining engineering geological environment influence monitoring system into four parts as follows: the system comprises a submarine sediment monitoring platform 1, a submarine submerged buoy 2, a sea surface control center 401 and an acoustic communication device 3; the submarine sediment monitoring platform 1 and the submarine submerged buoy 2 are both connected with a sea surface control center 4 through an acoustic communication device 3, floating balls on the tops of the submarine observation platform 1 and the submarine submerged buoy 2 drive the acoustic transducers 101 and 201 to float in water in order to reduce the influence of solid suspended particles in a water body on an acoustic communication effect, the acoustic transducers 101 and 201 are connected with the submarine sediment monitoring platform 1 and the submarine submerged buoy 2 at the bottom through cables, and the length of the cables is not less than 100 meters, namely the distance between the acoustic transducers and the bottom of a seabed is not less than 100 meters. The acoustic communication device 3 adds the relay buoy 301 as an acoustic communication relay station to ensure the effect of long-distance communication. The floating 301 top of the relay buoy is a solar cell panel, the middle part is a floating ball, the bottom is connected to the acoustic transducer through a cable, the solar cell panel and the floating ball float on the sea surface, and the solar cell panel supplies power to the acoustic transducer in water so as to provide transfer service for acoustic remote communication. Meanwhile, the strength of the transit signal can be adjusted by dragging the position of the relay buoy.
Further, the seabed surface sediment monitoring platform 1 is integrated with a natural potential probe rod, an acoustic Doppler current profiler, a turbidimeter and an underwater camera, and the seabed surface sediment monitoring platform is arranged at the top of the ore collecting path of the mining vehicle 5 in the mining block and the inflection point of the first turning on the ore collecting path of the mining vehicle 5 during the first arrangement. The monitoring contents mainly comprise monitoring of seabed surface sediments, monitoring of offshore bottom water flow speed and monitoring of concentration of solid suspended particles in the seabed-near water body.
Furthermore, the monitoring equipment of the submarine subsurface buoy 2 mainly comprises an acoustic Doppler current profiler for downward monitoring, and 9 groups of sensors, namely, temperature and salinity sensors which are arranged every 10 meters from bottom to top; each monitoring device has an automatic storage function and can realize data transmission through the top acoustic communication device. In addition, when the submarine subsurface buoy is laid for the first time, if the direction of the background water flow is the same as the direction of the ore collecting path of the mining vehicle 5, the submarine subsurface buoy 2 is laid at a position which is perpendicular to the ore collecting path and is about 200 meters away from 1 sediment monitoring; if the background water flow direction is opposite to the 5 mining vehicle path, the seabed submerged buoy 2 is arranged in the position which is opposite to the ore collecting path and forms an included angle of 135 degrees with the ore collecting path at the rear of the sediment monitoring platform by 300 meters. The actual distribution distance can be corrected and adjusted according to the field condition and the monitoring result. The monitoring content mainly comprises the in-situ monitoring of temperature, salinity, turbidity, water flow velocity and water flow direction.
Further, the acoustic communication device 3 is mainly composed of 3 parts: the deck unit, the relay buoy and the acoustic transducer of the underwater connection monitoring device on the mining vessel. The system has the main function of providing data transmission for the sediment observation platform and the submarine submerged buoy receiving and sending commands. The top of an acoustic transducer of the underwater connection monitoring device is pulled by a floating ball, the lower part of the acoustic transducer is pulled by the floating ball, and the acoustic transducer is connected to the monitoring device through a communication armored cable, and in order to reduce the influence of solid suspended particles on the communication effect, the distance from the acoustic transducer to the seabed is about 100 meters. The sea surface is provided with a relay buoy, the lower part of the relay buoy is connected with the acoustic transducer through a communication armored cable, and the lowering depth of the transducer and the position of the relay buoy can be adjusted to achieve a better communication effect.
Furthermore, the sea surface control center 4 controls the use of the individual devices in the sediment monitoring platform and the submarine subsurface buoy on the one hand, and analyzes the data monitored by each monitoring device on the other hand to obtain the migration distribution rule of the resuspension sediment, so that the monitoring station can be adjusted timely.
The migration and distribution law of sediment resuspension is shown in fig. 2, when a mining vehicle carries out ore collection operation on the seabed, the three-dimensional distribution characteristics of solid suspended particles generated by the sediment are disturbed in seawater, the sediment with large particles rises first and then falls rapidly after being disturbed, the sediment with small particles forms an atomized layer after being disturbed to float near the sea surface for a long time, and at the moment, the important objects to be monitored are the thickness of the large particles settled at different positions and the concentration and distribution characteristics of the small particles floating in the seawater. In order to reduce the monitoring cost and reduce the arrangement of monitoring points, but achieve better monitoring effect, the description is provided with reference to fig. 2. When the mining vehicle 5 carries out the mining operation in the mining area, when the background water flow direction of the ocean bottom layer water flow and the motion direction of the mining vehicle are on the same straight line, the speed of the background water flow is lower than 10 cm/s basically, and the migration speed of the mining vehicle is higher than 1 m/s basically, so that the mining vehicle disturbs the sediment to generate a more regular solid suspended particle concentration distribution state in the water body as shown in the uppermost graph in fig. 2. At the moment, the distribution of the sediment thickness, the seawater flow rate and turbidity profile at the sediment monitoring platform and the seawater flow rate and turbidity profile at the submarine submerged buoy can be obtained through the monitoring results of the submarine sediment monitoring platform 1 and the submarine submerged buoy 2, so that two profile data are obtained, and the data in the model can be corrected according to the concentration distribution curve shown in the model, so that the distribution rule of the sediment resuspension after disturbance can be obtained.
Furthermore, when the background water flow direction is not collinear with the direction of mining of the mining vehicle 5, the concentration distribution of the mining disturbance sediment in the body of water will have the results shown in the second and third graphs of fig. 2. The arrangement scheme is followed in the first arrangement of the submarine sediment monitoring platform and the submarine submerged buoy.
And finally, based on the monitoring system, the geological environment influence monitoring and comprehensive evaluation of the deep sea polymetallic nodule mining engineering are realized through the following steps.
1) In-situ monitoring is carried out through a sediment monitoring platform to obtain the thickness of the heavy sediment and the change of the surface sediment properties (porosity and oxidation-reduction potential) along with the mining time on different mining vehicle ore collecting paths in the multi-metal nodule mining process; the bottom water velocity and turbidity profile at that point, and the sediment motion image data.
