Abstract

Water associated with mines and mineral pro- cessing, as well as other industrial processes, often contains significant levels of potentially recoverable metals. For example, mineralized water associated with a mining complex in the southern Urals contains high levels of non- ferrous metals (up to 1.1 g/L of Cu and up to 1.8 g/L of Zn). A process has been developed to treat such wastewater as a hydro-mineral resource. Selective extraction of Cu and Zn was incorporated into a proposed water treatment op- eration by combining techniques such as galvanocoagula- tion, sorption, and hydrolytic precipitation.
