CELL FOR IDENTIFYING GEOCHEMICAL UNITS OF MINING WASTE, COMPRISING AN OUTER STRUCTURE, A LINING, AN IMPERMEABLE MEMBRANE AND A THIRD PROTECTING LAYER

摘要

The invention relates to a cell intended for ground installation, which can be used to identify the geochemical units that form mining waste in order to predict and/or monitor acid draining over time. The cell comprises an outer iron structure that is sandblasted and painted; a lining of structural plywood; an impermeable high-density polyurethane (HDPE) membrane provided on the sides and base of the cell; a third protective layer consisting of a plastic mesh; and, additionally, in the lower part of one of the sides of the cell, at least two PVC (polyvinyl chloride) tubes which pass through holes formed in the plywood and in the impermeable membrane. In addition, the invention relates to the ground installation system and method, said system comprising two cells placed parallel to one another.
