Abstract
Soil reconstruction is at the core of mine land reclamation Reconstructed soil from an opencast mine dump in a loess area is a complex composite that was assembled by humans using multiple reconstruction technologies The soil is composed of varied soil particles with irregular shapes and has selfsimilar structure To better quantify the characterization of reconstructed soil in this dump the soil particlesize distribution from four modes of soil reconstruction in the Shanxi Pingshuo Antaibao opencast coalmine dump was analyzed using multifractal theory Soil reconstruction modes included loess material containing gravel LG loess material containing coal gangue CG total loess material AL and loess material containing ginger stone LGS Soil particle composition gravel content field water capacity soil bulk density soil organic matter total nitrogen TN soil pH and electrical conductivity EC of different soil layers from different reconstruction modes were measured A generalized dimension spectrum Dq multifractal singularity exponent αq and multifractal spectrum function fαq were calculated Relationships between soil properties and fractal parameters were analyzed The results led to the following conclusions 1 the soil particle distribution of reconstructed soil had significant multifractal characteristics in an opencast coalmine dump in a loess area D0 D1 D1/D0 Δα and Δf can reflect the nonuniform particlesize distribution characteristics D0 D1/D0 and Δf or D0 D1/D0 and Δα can be simplified as three parameters to quantify the multifractal characterization of the reconstructed soil particle distribution 2 After reclamation the soil quality from different layers of different profiles in different reconstruction modes shows some improvement 3 There were strong correlations between multifractal parameters and soil properties D1 and Δα increased and D1/D0 and Δf decreased with increasing gravel content soil bulk density organic matter TN and soil EC however it was opposite for pH and field water capacity Gangue and gravel have a definite impact on the dispersion degree of soil particles in reconstruction This study provides a theoretical basis for land reclamation and quantitative expression of reconstructed soil particles’ distribution in opencast coalmine dumps in loess areas
