Mine Water Geochemistry

 Geochemical reactions are the fundamental requirement to understand the processes that go on during and after the mining activities. On the basis of the interactions of rock, oxygen and mine water the development of typical secondary minerals will be explained. There will also be an introduction to the processes of disulfide oxidation as well as the development and methods to avoid acid mine drainage.

Prediction of Mine Flooding

 To develop the most advantageous mine water treatment system, it is necessary to predict the temporal and spatial development of the mine flooding. At this point, the most important models which can be used for mine flooding predictions will be presented. Selected examples will demonstrate the results of those predictions.

Mine Water Treatment

 Finally, the fundamental processes of conventional and alternative mine water treatment will be explained. The most common methods of mine water treatment of both groups will be explained and examples will demonstrate the processes involved in mine water treatment plants.
