MINING

In response to the global water shortage, Prosimed designs and manufactures advanced technologies for water reuse in the
industrial mining sector.

MAIN WATER SOURCES FOR A MINING OPERATION:

Y

Surface water:

Rivers, reservoirs. Subject to minimum flow requirements and permits.

Y

Desalinated seawater:

Increasingly common in copper mining. Reduces pressure on freshwater resources.

Y

Rainwater:

Collected in perimeter channels to prevent contact with ore.

Y

Groundwater:

Deep wells. Essential in arid regions.

Y

Mine water:

Seepage from open pits, tunnels, and tailings ponds. This is “contact water” and the most complex type.

CHARACTERISTICS OF WASTEWATER IN THE MINING INDUSTRY:

$

High conductivity

$

High concentration of suspended and dissolved solids

$

Chlorides

$

Variable pH

$

Sulfates

$

Heavy metals

Iron, manganese, copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, and, in certain mines, chromium.

Due to the growing need for water reuse, parameters such as hardness, silica, oils and fats, and total salinity are also relevant. For treatment, PROSIMED employs all kinds of cutting-edge technologies, 85% of which are manufactured in-house. At PROSIMED, we are continuously investing in R&D&I to always provide the best solution on the market.
