Embodiment 1

(10) According to the embodiment of the present invention, a method for leakage status evaluation and leaks location of a solid waste land disposal facility is provided. The method includes the following steps:

(11) Step S101: An off-site emitting electrode is arranged for the solid waste land disposal facility, and a plurality of intra-site receiving electrodes are arranged on a solid waste pile surface in a grid shape.

(12) Specifically, one off-site emitting electrode is arranged for the solid waste land disposal facility, and a plurality of intra-site (solid waste pile surface) receiving electrodes are arranged in a grid shape. In the present embodiment, the grid-shaped distribution of the intra-site electrodes is

(13) $\left[\begin{array}{cccc}{S}_{11}& S_{12}& \mathrm{.Math.}& S_{1j}\\ S_{21}& S_{22}& \mathrm{.Math.}& S_{2j}\\ \mathrm{.Math.}& \mathrm{.Math.}& \mathrm{.Math.}& \mathrm{.Math.}\\ S_{i1}& S_{i2}& \mathrm{.Math.}& S_{\mathrm{ij}}\end{array}\right].$
Of course, a person skilled in the art would be able to select the number and arrangement of electrodes according to practical requirements.

(14) Step S102: A power supply is selected to supply power, a current value between the off-site emitting electrode and each of the intra-site receiving electrodes is collected respectively, and a maximum current value point Mn of the solid waste pile surface and a maximum current value An are determined.

(15) Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, there is a total of i?j intra-site receiving electrodes which are powered by using a high-voltage DC power supply. When two ends of the power supply are connected to an off-site electrode and an intra-site electrode s11 respectively, a current I11 is collected. Then, the connection between the power supply and the off-site electrode is kept fixed, the other end is connected to s12, s13, s1j, s21, s22, . . . , and sij in sequence, and current values of the other receiving electrodes are collected.

(16) Step S103: The i?j intra-site electrodes are positioned by using a GPS to obtain x and y coordinates, current values of i?j points are interpolated by using spatial interpolation software (e.g., arcgis or surfer) to obtain a plane contour map of the current values, and a maximum current value point AMAX1 and xy coordinates thereof are determined according to the plane contour map of the current.

(17) Step S104: Receiving electrodes are arranged for the second time in a region where the maximum current value point AMAX1 is located, and the grid spacing is reduced by several times based on the spacing in step S101.

(18) A current value is collected according to the current collection method in step S102, a current contour map is drawn, and a maximum current value point AMAX2 and xy coordinates thereof are determined.

(19) Whether a distance between the point AMAX1 and the point AMAX2 is smaller than a set value (e.g., the set value is 1 m in the present embodiment) is judged by comparison. If so, a final maximum current value An is recorded. Otherwise, receiving electrodes are further arranged in refined grids in a region of the maximum current value point AMAX2 determined in the previous step, and coordinates of AMAX3 are determined. A distance between AMAX3 and AMAX2 is compared, and the process stops when the distance is less than 1 m. Otherwise, receiving electrodes are continuously arranged in refined grids in a region where AMAX3 is located, and so on, until a distance between AMAXn and AMAXn?1 is smaller than the set value.

(20) The maximum current value An and the maximum current value point AMAXn at this moment are recorded.

(21) Step S105: An off-site point So2 is selected, and a current value between the off-site emitting electrode and the point So2 is measured as a reference current Ab under the same power supply condition.

(22) Specifically, a horizontal distance d between AMAXn and an off-site emitting electrode So1 is measured by using the GPS (or other measurement tools). Referring to FIG. 2, an off-site point So2 is selected for a disposal facility with a distance d, a connecting line between So2 and So1 and a connecting line between So2, So1 and AMAXn are in the same straight line, two ends of the power supply are connected to So1 and So2 respectively under the same high-voltage DC power supply condition, and the current value after power supplying is measured as a reference current value Ab.

(23) Step S106: A leakage status of the solid waste land disposal facility is determined based on a ratio of the maximum current value An to the reference current Ab.

(24) Specifically, a leakage comprehensive index k is obtained by calculation according to the following formula:

(25) $k=\frac{A_n}{A_b}$

(26) A smaller k indicates a better integrity of an impermeable layer, and if k is approximate to 0, it indicates that there is substantially no leakage. On the contrary, a larger k indicates a more serious damage and leakage of the impermeable layer. When k is greater than 1, it indicates that the impermeable layer is damaged and the damage has resulted in a very serious leachate leakage.

(27) The damage position of the impermeable layer may be determined according to a position of the maximum current value point AMAXn. The position of the maximum current value point AMAXn is a leakage position.

Embodiment 2

(28) According to the embodiment of the present invention, a system for leakage status evaluation and leaks location of a solid waste land disposal facility is further provided. The system includes the following components:

(29) (1) An off-site emitting electrode, arranged for the solid waste land disposal facility, and a plurality of intra-site receiving electrodes, arranged on a solid waste pile surface according to a grid-shaped structure.

(30) Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, in the early days, solid waste was landfilled without laying sensors at the bottom of a reservoir, and existing methods of determining a leakage position through sensors at the bottom of the reservoir were ineffective when leakages occurred at these sites. In the present embodiment, a plurality of receiving electrodes are laid on a solid waste pile surface according to a set rule. FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of arrangement of receiving electrodes. A high-voltage excitation signal is input to a solid landfill region through a high-voltage signal source, and current data of each receiving electrode is collected simultaneously.

(31) (2) A power supply, configured to supply power, which adopts a high-voltage DC power supply.

(32) (3) A data collection module, configured to collect a current value between the off-site emitting electrode and each of the intra-site receiving electrodes respectively, and determine a maximum current value point Mn of the solid waste pile surface and a maximum current value An.

(33) The operating mode of the data collection module adopts the processes of step S102 to step S104 in Embodiment 1.

(34) A data measurement module, configured to select an off-site point So2, and measure a current value between the off-site emitting electrode and the point So2 as a reference current Ab under the same power supply condition.

(35) The operating mode of the data measurement module adopts the process of step S105 in Embodiment 1.

(36) A data processing module, configured to determine a leakage status of the solid waste land disposal facility based on a ratio of the maximum current value An to the reference current Ab.

(37) The operating mode of the data processing module adopts the process of step S106 in Embodiment 1.

(38) Referring to FIG. 5, the entire processing process for data includes:

(39) An upper computer controls a signal output device to input a high-voltage excitation signal to a solid landfill region, and the signal output device includes a signal generator and a power amplifier which are connected in sequence. A data collection device collects a current signal, since the landfill region is generally located in a relatively open field, there may be a large amount of industrial frequency noise, and a signal needs to be filtered before being collected. After the collection is finished, the upper computer processes collected current data.

(40) Referring to FIG. 6, the upper computer mainly includes two parts: sampling management and data management. The sampling management includes manual sampling and timing sampling. When multiple times of data collection are needed in the same region, a plurality of sampling times may be set through timing sampling, and the system automatically executes a sampling function according to different sampling times, without manual intervention. The data management includes three parts: result analysis, data mapping, and historical data query. The result analysis is to interpolate sampled data, calculate coordinates of a maximum current value point, and analyze the degree of leakage. In order to observe the leakage status of the landfill region more intuitively, sampled historical data of the same region at different times may be selected. A three-dimensional map of the landfill region is drawn through spatial interpolation to restore real site information, and the site situation is observed through information in the map.
