Tailing Ponds Treatment
Mining operations often generate ponds with extremely thick sludge, containing over 50% solids, making water clarification a major challenge. Traditional polymeric flocculants, even at high doses above 1,000 ppm, have provided limited success. OC 360 was applied at approximately 600 ppm, achieving unprecedented water clarity and demonstrating superior performance. The product is now undergoing the necessary approval process for wider field application, highlighting its potential as a highly effective solution for mining water treatment challenges.
- Mining operations leave a very thick, > 50% solids sludge in their ponds.
- Problems to treat this are numerous, and water clarification is a monumental challenge.
- Attempts to use a range of different molecular weight and charge Polymeric Flocculants (Polyacrylamides) have had limited success - even at dose levels > 1000 ppm
- OC 360 was applied at ~ 600 ppm and achieved clarity never before seen...... product is now going through the required lengthy approval process.
