BAFFLE CURTAIN INSTALLATION TO ENHANCE TREATMENT EFFICIENCY FOR OPERATIONAL COAL MINE WATER TREATMENT SCHEMES (2016)
<p>Passive coal mine water treatment schemes in the United Kingdom typically incorporate settlement lagoons to precipitate iron and collect HFO (hydrous ferric oxide). Laminar flow in the lagoons enables HFO particles to settle out under gravity. Preferential ...

OPEN PIT MINE FLOODING PROGNOSIS MAKING USE OF ANALYTICAL ELEMENT MODELLING IN FRACTURED HARD ROCK (2016)
<p>A large number of South Africa&rsquo;s open pit mines are located in fractured rock. Analytical solutions to pit flooding mainly make use of the Dupuit-Forchheimer approximation. A typical example of such a solution is the solution proposed by Marinelli ...

REDUCING LIFE-CYCLE COSTS OF PASSIVE MINE WATER TREATMENT BY RECOVERY OF METALS FROM TREATMENT WASTES (2016)
<p>In compost bioreactor systems, a commonly deployed technology at passive mine water treatment sites, metals accumulate in the treatment system substrate. Ultimately, this substrate becomes exhausted and requires disposal. An assessment was undertaken using ...
