THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TREATMENT PROCESS FOR THE MINE WATER CONTAINING ARSENIC AND THIOCYANATE FROM LAB SCALE TO PILOT PLANT SCALE
Vaxelaire, S., B. Jally, F. Battaglia-Brunet, and J. Jacob.
Proceedings of the International Mine Water Association (IMWA) Conference, 15-19 July, Perm, Russia, 2019

Mine drainage from ~8 million tonnes of cyanidation tailings at a former French gold mine contains around 8 mg/L of As and 1 g/L of SCN- and is treated at a plant that produces large amounts of sludge. The present study aimed to develop a semi-passive mine water treatment process that decreases sludge production and improves treatment efficiency with a target discharge level <100 µg/L As. https://www.imwa.info/docs/imwa_2019/IMWA2019_Vaxelaire_286.pdf
