  • Mining water from gypsum

    Mining water from gypsum

    Water resources in the world are scarce and unevenly distributed. In deserts, the only source of drinking water is groundwater, often saline and of poor quality. In many places, the groundwater levels have dropped dangerously due to overexploitation. Gypsum deposits, that are very common in deserts, are a potential source of drinking water, a fact that is realised by very few people. Gypsum ...

  • Mining Metals Solution Treatability

    Mining Metals Solution Treatability

    Integrated Engineers, Inc. conducted a treatability test on water containing metals in solution from a mining company’s analysis labs. Initial pH was below 2, so it was adjusted to 6.5 to 7.5 using caustic. This lowers the solubility of the metals, and helps the Floccin to work better. The Floccin-1105 worked well at a dosage of 2.1 grams/ 1,000 ml of wastewater (treatment dosage of .9 lbs. of ...
