Abstract

In presented work is made an experimental study for purification of mining water. Depending on the specific requirements, the required methodology is used. It is made an analysis of the obtain results. Experimental studies to determine the levels of purification of impurities monitored in the treated mine water depending on the chosen method for their treatment were conducted on the basis of the compared results for the content of monitored pollutants - mainly insoluble substances, iron, manganese and metal cations.

Highlights

  • Acid mine water (AMW) is considered to be the biggest environmental problem associated with mining

  • Most of the waste generated by the mines is in the solid state, the main pollutants from the extraction and processing activities are separated by the wastewater

  • It is estimated that over 70% of the pollutants from the mining industry are emitted into the water, which necessitates the application of various technologies to purify these streams be mining they are released into the environment

Summary

Introduction

Acid mine water (AMW) is considered to be the biggest environmental problem associated with mining. Experiments are performed on each of the additives used in this work, such as flocculants, lime milk and sulfuric acid, as the main idea is to accelerate the time of separation of metals in the form of sediment and increase the pH of water.
