Effect of ammonium butyl black medicine on soil

After being used in the ore dressing plant, ammonium butyl black medicine eventually forms high-concentration residues in the tailings pond, polluting the surrounding environment of the mining area through surface runoff, underground leakage and other channels, poisoning the ecological environment and human health itself.

We all know that ore dressing agents are toxic-highly toxic organic pollutants in the environment, which can cause serious damage to the nervous system, hematopoietic system and liver of organisms. For example, when the concentration of xanthate in the water body is 5 mg·L-1. it can cause the death of most fish. Moreover, mining agents interact with heavy metals in the mine and its surrounding environment and have a profound impact on their environmental behavior.

Therefore, studying the environmental behavior of mining agents is of great significance for their pollution control. However, there are few research reports on the degradation behavior of mining agents at home and abroad, mainly focusing on the impact of ore dressing agents in water. In fact, ore dressing agents such as ammonium butyl black medicine also have a great impact on soil quality. Therefore, the residues of ore dressing agents actually used must be treated before they can be discharged, otherwise the impact is difficult to estimate.
