Autonomous system for the treatment of liquid and solid mining tailings
Résumé
The extractive industry releases considerable amounts of liquid and solid residues as a result of various ore treatments. These tailings can damage the environment, including soil, groundwater and stream pollution, as toxic chemicals are used during the extraction process. As a result, they should not be dumped into the wild without treatment. This led to the establishment of an autonomous system for the treatment of liquid mine residues in the form of water for the production of electrical energy and the depollution of solid residues by the method of thermal desorption using a furnace proposed in this study. Throughout the research, various approaches have been used to determine whether the energy generated by the hydroelectric system of liquid residues would be sufficient to supply the thermal desorption for the treatment of solid residues. Consistent approximate values have been obtained but more concrete examples are needed to optimize the results.
