Hence, it is important to recover AMD wastewater to reduce environmental pollution and cover the costs associated with post-treatment in coal mining production. …
Any form of mining is a potential threat to the environment. The extent of environmental degradation depends on the status of mine (working/abandoned), type of deposit, mining and processing methods and the geo-atmospheric conditions. Coal mining has huge impacts to local water resources, both surface and ground water. Surface …

The ZERO BRINE project is seeking to change this by recovering water, salts, magnesium and other minerals for reuse from coal mine wastewater, effectively 'closing-the-loop' on industrial wastewater from coal mining. On 8 October, press, government officials, and industrial and environmental experts visited the Bolesław …
Fig. 1 summarises the effects of mining wastewater on agriculture, marine life, soil, and waterbodies. These studies also show how these mining activities are affecting food security and human health. Supplementary Table S1 details the effects of metal ions which, are usually found in mining wastewater, on aquatic animals, humans, …
Oman, being a semi-arid country, is in great need for extensive reuse practices of treated wastewater effluents. However, these practices need to be …
Section snippets Overview of source. The salt-containing wastewater of coal chemical industry mainly comes from raw water, raw coal, wastewater produced in the production process, and agents added in the treatment process (acid-base neutralization, flocculation, scale inhibition, fungicide, etc.) [1].
In this study, a new type of hydrophobic cationic polyacrylamide P (AM-DMC-DABC) (PADD) was synthesized by ultrasonic (US)-initiated polymerization, which is used for the separation and removal of coal mine wastewater. The acrylamide (AM), methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) and acryloyloxyethyl …
In this paper, the acid wastewater pollution caused by the closed pit of xiayuanqiaotou Coal Mine is taken as an example. Through hydrogeological survey and field inspection, the geological and hydrogeological conditions of the study area are understood, and the cause and discharge of acid wastewater pollution in the mining area are analyzed. The …
