The unique properties of the Tideflex Diffuser Valve increases the velocity of the discharge and creates a flattened plume-shape discharge that is carried by currents more effectively. Acting as a check valve, the Tideflex Diffuser Valve also prevents backflow of seawater and the intrusion of marine growth, sand and silt into the pipeline.

Coal washery wastewater can be treated using natural coagulants obtained from plant extracts along with conventional coagulants. Nitrification and denitrification bacteria fixed …

The huge quantity of effluent generated in coal washing processes contains large amount of suspended and dissolved solids, clay minerals, coal fines and other impurities associated with raw coal. The present system of recirculation of the effluent is found to be ineffective in removing colloidal fines, which is the major part of the impurities …

CWA sections 301, 304 and 306 authorize us to set effluent guidelines. Standards are based on the performance of the best available control and treatment technologies. More information about effluent guidelines for coal mining

When treating mining wastewater, one of the first steps is to return the water's pH to its original level. This is vital not only for maintaining the quality of your water, but it will also aid in the precipitation of dissolved metals. Positively charged metal ions react with negatively charged hydroxide ions when the pH of the water is raised.

Mining produces a lot of waste which should be disposed of properly. Improper waste disposal leads to soil, water and air pollution. There are various types of mining. They include coal mining, metal, landfill mining, oil and gas extraction and non-metal ore mining. This means there are also different types of mining waste. These …

The Effluent Guidelines Plan published in the Federal Register on September 4, 1998 (63 FR 47285) required, among other things, that EPA propose the Coal Mining Effluent Guidelines by December 1999 and take final action on the Guidelines by December 2001. On November 19, 1999, the Court modified the decree revising the …

EPA promulgated the Coal Mining Effluent Guidelines and Standards (40 CFR Part 434) in 1975, and amended the regulation in 1976, 1977, 1979, 1982, 1985 and 2002.The regulation covers wastewater discharges from mine drainage, coal storage facilities, and coal preparation plants.

The use of sewage sludge to recover a coal mine spoil in Colorado resulted in significant increases in biomass of the soil surface layer [35]. This treatment gave better results than any other treatment with inorganic fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus). ... Castro, S.H., Vergara, F., Sánchez, M.A. (Eds.), Effluent treatment in the mining ...

In late 2019, desalinated seawater made up 20% of mining water use in Chile, the world's largest copper-producing country. Twelve large-scale desalination plants are now treating water for the sector, with 15 more in the planning stage. Seawater use in Chilean mining is expected to triple between 2018 and 2029 with a mean annual growth …

Coal is the most important fuel used for generating electricity worldwide; however, the process of coal mining involves the release of huge amount of effluent into the surface water. Effluent from coal mine contains high load of TSS, TDS, calcium carbonate and heavy metals, hence contaminates the aquatic regime [ 1, 2, 36, 37 ].
