DESCRIPTION:
Great book with lots of details on treatment options Before I begin my review, I have to tell you that my knowledge in Chemistry is very basic. This book is well written. It starts off with a nice introduction on water treatment and then gets into the details of treatment. This is the first book I have read on mine water treatment and I have to say that the authors made my life easier because I didn't have to struggle in understanding the concepts. S. curtain call Simply the best book on mine water treatment. Period. I have been a consulting engineer dealing with environmental problems for over 20 years now - and this is my "go to" book on the subject.Yes, there is a high reliance on empirical equations But the reality is that most data sets in the mine water remediation field do not allow a more detailed analysis.Globally, the mining industry is grappling w
However, mine water pollution problems have not been addressed. In many cases, polluted mine water long outlives the life of the mining operation. As the true cost of long-term water treatment responsibilities has become apparent, interest has grown in the technologies that would decrease the production of contaminated water and make its treatment less costly. The authors explain the complexities of mine water pollution by reviewing the hydrogeological context of its formation, and provide an up-to-date presentation of prevention and treatment technologies. The book will be a valuable reference for all professionals who encounter polluted mine water on a regular or occasional basis.. Nowhere is the conflict between economic progress and environmental quality more apparent than in the mineral extraction industries. This is the first book to address the mine water issue head-on. The latter half of the 20th century saw major advances in the reclamation technologies
… The authors, recognized leaders in the field of mine water treatment, are successful in relating this information from a multidisciplinary perspective. There are clear and abundant schematics and many useful tables and graphs This would also be an extremely useful textbook for students of mining engineering or mine reclamation." (Journal of Environmental Quality, 32 (March-April 2003)"This book introduces a synopsis of global mining techniques and follows with a comprehensive analysis of t
