Use of mine overburden and mine tailings for cleaning lead from mining waters
Original language description
Cleaning waste and mine waters of deleterious metals is critical to meet environmental emission standards and also to allow efficient metallurgical processing. Adsorption technology has been shown to be a cheap, efficient and readily applicable techniquefor cleaning such waters, provided that a cheap adsorbent is readily available. The Kalgoorlie-Goldfields region of Western Australia, which is at the heart of Australia?s mining industry, is abundant in clay-rich top soils and also has large tailings heaps of activated mine tailings, both of which seem suitable as sorbents. The mining operations in the Kalgoorlie-Goldfields also require cleaning of mine and waste waters. This work investigated the sorption properties of top soils and mine tailings andfound that NaCl washed samples had Pb2+ sorption capacities up to 105 mg Pb2+/g of adsorbent, and chemically activated samples allowed sorption capacity of up to 124 mg Pb2+/g of adsorbent. This confirms that top soils and mine tailings
