AMD generally refers to mine drainage with a pH value of less than 6.5, and its components mainly contain SO 4 2-, Fe 2+, Fe 3+, Mn 2+, and other metal ions (Nadiratuzzahra and Tristantini, 2020).AMD is widely distributed, and almost all major global mining countries have serious AMD problems (Park et al., 2019), such as the United States, Australia, and Canada.
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is the biggest environmental problem of water related to the mining industry in many countries. Recently, coal mining and mineral mining industries use various AMD treatment systems. The main problem, however, is the very expensive and long retention times for treatment of AMD. For this reason, biosorption technology has been tested …
The purpose of this work is to present the trends and treatment processes for arsenic handling in the copper mining industry with a focus on the scorodite process. INTRODUCTION Between 2000 and 2015 the global copper concentrates production has grown from approximately eleven to fifteen million metric tons per year.
An alternative to neutralization is the reuse and valorization of the wastewater. This paper rethinks the gold mining wastewater treatment with an integrated system aimed at recovering water, sulfuric acid, and copper from gold mining wastewater, clearing the path to their reuse in the gold processing circuit.
Copper processing, the extraction of copper from its ores and the preparation of copper metal or chemical compounds for use in various products.

Process Lead for Minewater Treatment Global copper demand is set to double to around 50 million tonnes per year by 2035 (S&P Global). This represents a generational
This paper outlines the practices, processes, and reagents proposed for the effective treatment of these ores. The primary purpose of this review paper is to present the hydrometallurgical processes that currently exist in the mining …
Example 1: Copper Mining Operation in Chile; Copper mining companies in Chile that installed and used advanced industrial boiler systems reported that it resulted in the substantial upgrading of water treatment processes. The plants reused its steam for the facilities meant for disinfection, thus filtering pathogens and impurities that existed ...
The group has successfully applied these technologies at sites around the world, including active copper mines. Dexing is an active copper mine in China that produces 150,000 t/y copper. As part of the open pit mining operation, low-grade ore waste dumps generate copper-laden acid mine drainage containing an average of 149 mg/l of copper.
The copper (Cu) mining and mineral processing industry plays a vital role in economic development and job creation in addition to supplying invaluable resources for modern civilization (Farjana et al., 2019).Most importantly, this sector must meet the growing demand for primary Cu, even as society achieves greater efficiency by reducing extraneous uses, reuse, …
With Flottweg Tricanter® centrifuges, copper mines can recover organic from crud and reuse it in their solvent extraction processes. The solvent extraction (SX) process is a hydrometallurgical procedure in which metals, such as copper, …
Flotation, when first introduced between 1913 and 1916, was used primarily to reduce losses of copper in the fine tailings of gravity plants. From an accessory to gravity methods, flotation very rapidly became a major process and finally, from 1923 to 1927, all but eliminated the gravity method in the treatment of low-grade sulfide copper ores.
There are three main elements of a mine water management program: water quantity, water quality and closure plans. Water quantity The quantity of water available at a mine site varies depending on the region. For example, in the western United States, water scarcity can play a role where the mine is reusing its pit water, but in parts of Canada, we are seeing the opposite …

Since inception of the mine, refractory ore from the copper production process was surface stockpiled. KCM has now developed a process to extract copper from the refractory ore stockpile. The company also produces several by-products, including sulphuric acid produced from the smelting process, which is largely consumed in the leaching process.
The activated sludge process, grounded in the principle of precipitation, is a conventional biological treatment widely utilized in the treatment of acidic mine wastewater. This process, which acts as a carbon source, is known for its excellent settling properties and its ability to maintain close contact with water, thereby facilitating ...
, 2005; Adams, 2005).The solubility of copper minerals in cyanide solutions is shown in Table 1. Copper minerals consume 30 kg/ton NaCN for each 1% copper reagent present, which often makes the process uneconomic (Muir, 2011). Alternative processes for the treatment of copper bearing gold ores are flotation (Bulatovic, 1997 Forrest . et al
The goal of any treatment process is to produce an effluent that will cause as little harm as possible and either will be reused in manufacturing or agricultural production or further purified as much as possible prior to discharge. ...
