Mining & mine water
Designed in for new projects
Within permit from the first day.
The problem
New processing routes, such as acid roasting for lithium, generate concentrated salt side streams by design. Retrofitting treatment later adds cost, risk and permitting delay.
Benefits
- Never a discharge or contamination risk
- Feasibility evidence for the permit application
- Recovered secondary materials that circular economy rules reward
Application
Part of the project's water design from the outset, treating process liquors and recovering salts such as sodium sulphate.
