Abstract:
This work presents a consideration of advanced technologies which would be employed in the mine waters treatment with an aim of removal and recovery of metals contained in mine waters and AMDs. A process simulating of AMDs generation from the residual overburden is established and tested with an aim of speeding up the self-leaching phenomenon which now occurs naturally. In addition a possibility of a hydrometallurgical process implementation is described. Considered technology should ensure an environmentally sustainable and economically viable process for the purification and neutralization of AMDs based on the metal extracted and produced from such sources. Possibility for technology implementation, with a brief economic analysis, is given based on the performed tests of leaching and solvent extraction for contained copper in AMDs.
