Overview on the Treatment Technology of Wastewater from Copper Mineral Processing (WCMP)

Abstract:

During the exploitation and utilization of the mineral resources, varieties of pollutants have been produced, which would impact the natural environment inevitably and bring many adverse effects to ecological environment and the human health. Its worth noting that the wastewater from copper mineral processing (WCMP) is one of the main source of mine environmental pollution. The WCMP is characterized by large quantity and containing large numbers of suspended solids, residual flotation reagents and heavy metals, etc. Wastewater can be discharged and realized reuse only after effective treatment. Recently, natural sedimentation, neutralization, flocculation, oxidation and other treatment techniques by wastes are the commonly used methods to treat the mineral processing wastewater.
