HYBRIDIZIED TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF MINING EFFLUENTS The
main goal of this book is to review the principles, development,
and performances of hybridized technologies that have been used for
the treatment of mine effluents. Recent developments consist of the
integration/hybridization of technologies to achieve the effective
removal of pollutants from acid mine drainage (AMD) effluents in a
stepwise manner such as to ensure that the cost of the process is
minimized, and the resulting water is fit for purpose. This book
presents eight specialized chapters that provide a state-of-the-art
review of the different hybridized technologies that have been
developed over the years for the treatment of mine effluent,
including AMD. The successful implementation and challenges of
these technologies are highlighted to give the reader a perspective
on the management of such waste in the mining industry. In this
innovative book, readers will be introduced to The limitations of
passive and active treatment processes as stand-alone technologies
while appraising the functioning and performances of these
technologies when combined to address their challenges; The
numerous approaches that have been considered over the years for
effective combination of these technologies are explored taking
into account their successful implementation at large scale as well
as the long-term sustainability. Audience This book will be of
interest to academic researchers from the fields of environment,
chemistry, engineering, mineral processing, hydrometallurgy,
geochemistry, and professionals including mining plant operators,
environmental managers in the industries, water treatment plants
managers and operators, water authorities, government regulatory
bodies officers and environmentalists.
The prevalence of natural organic matter (NOM) in water remains a
huge challenge for water treatment companies and municipalities.
NOM, however, is not a stand-alone problem as it affects water
quality in many ways. NOM is largely responsible for the formation
of disinfection by-products (DBPs) via its interaction with
disinfectants during water disinfection. It is implicated for the
undesirable colour, taste and odour of water and NOM even inhibits
precipitation precursors which form the backbone of drinking water
treatment. There is therefore no question that NOM, which is either
a precursor to or direct cause of the problems highlighted above,
should be considered as one of the critical design parameters to be
considered for drinking water treatment. In our laboratories,
research that involves the use of cyclodextrin (CD) polyurethanes
for the removal of organic pollutants from water has been
extensively investigated, and the CD polyurethanes have
demonstrated the ability to effectively remove the organic species
from water at low (ppb) concentrations.
