Water related issues


Estimates suggest that between three to ten cubic meters of water is used for the extraction, processing, transport, and mitigation of one tonne of coal. While creating water solutions for mining industry it is important to secure high quality of treatment process, to comply with

stringent regulations and guarantee long-term efficiency. Desalination, along with recycled water, is one of the water sources especially relevant to regions with limited fresh water supply capacities.

In water-scarce areas, water authorities often limit the daily supply of fresh water to the mining industry, which can limit production capacity. However, in some instances, this challenge is overcome by mining companies reusing process water and waste water in mining processes: conveyance and dust control, cooling, drilling, wash-water, remediation, separation and leaching, power generation and land reclamation.

Depending on mining waste water quality, over 90% can be reused by applying advanced treatment technologies, such as reverse osmosis and micro-filtratio
n. Water reuse combined with proper water management procedures, enables the mining industry to save up to 40% of its daily freshwater intake.
