Abstract

The possible scale and degree of contamination of groundwater in the areas of sludge storage of alumina plants were estimated and patterns of changes in the composition of groundwater were established. The zone of intensive impact of the sludge storage on groundwater has been determined. A set of environmental measures has been developed, providing for the creation of a contouring anti-filtration curtain, pumping of contaminated groundwater by drainage wells, carbonation of sludge waters in order to reduce pH and transfer harmful impurities into insoluble compounds.
