Mine Water Treatment and Utilization

Summary

The course focuses on mine water related to localities with the on-going extraction of mineral resources as well as post-mining localities. It provides students with the knowledge on water processes and technologies applicable in mine water treatment and purification. Mine water must be regarded as a potential water resource and it is important to propose its further uses, e.g. at the times of drought. The course acquaints students with mine water treatment and use options, particularly with mine water properties from coal and ore extraction, with processes and technologies for mine water purification and treatment, including the options for its further use.
