Mining Wastewater Treatment

Acid mine drainage, tailings water, and ore-washing effluent — engineered systems that remove solids and meet discharge limits

Industrial mining wastewater treatment installation

Mine Effluent Is Acidic, Solids-Laden, and High-Volume

Acid mine drainage, tailings water, and ore-washing effluent carry heavy suspended solids, dissolved metals, and — in sulfide mines — low pH. Discharging it untreated risks fines, equipment corrosion, and damage to receiving waters.

High TSSTailings fines and rock particles
Low pHAcid mine drainage from sulfide oxidation
Dissolved MetalsIron, manganese, and trace heavy metals
High VolumeContinuous dewatering and process flows

A Complete Treatment Line, Engineered to Order

From grit removal to sludge dewatering, every stage is sized to your flow and discharge target.

⛔

1 · Grit & Screening

Remove coarse rock, sand, and debris before they damage pumps and downstream units.

⚖

2 · Neutralization

pH adjustment and metal precipitation convert dissolved metals into settleable solids.

💧

3 · DAF Clarification

Dissolved air flotation removes fine suspended solids and precipitated metals.

🧲

4 · Sludge Dewatering

Belt or screw press dewaters the metal-laden sludge for safe, low-cost disposal.

The Two Machines That Do the Heavy Lifting

Dissolved Air Flotation DAF system

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) System

After neutralization, DAF floats out the fine tailings and precipitated metals that settle too slowly on their own — a compact, high-rate solid-liquid separation step.

Flow Rate1–200 m³/h, modular design
TSS Removal≥ 90%, including precipitated metals
DesignWear-resistant, suitable for abrasive tailings
MaterialSS304, SS316L, or anti-corrosion carbon steel

Sludge dewatering belt filter press

Sludge Dewatering Systems

The tailings and precipitated metals removed by treatment become a heavy sludge. Dewater it on-site to cut haulage and tailings-storage costs.

TypesBelt press, screw press, decanter centrifuge
Capacity0.5–10 t/h dry solids
Cake Solids20–35% depending on sludge type
ControlPLC automated with remote monitoring option

Typical System Configurations

Reference line-ups by scale — the final design depends on your flow and discharge target.

⛏

Small · Ore Washing

≤ 100 m³/d

Grit removal + neutralization + DAF-30 + sludge dewatering.

🏗

Medium · Tailings Water

100–500 m³/d

Grit removal + neutralization + DAF-100 + sludge dewatering.

⛰

Large · Acid Mine Drainage

> 500 m³/d

Grit removal + neutralization + DAF-200 + clarification + sludge dewatering.
