In a recent article published in the journal Water, researchers from China highlighted the challenges faced by the mining industry in treating wastewater contaminated with heavy metals and inorganic salts.
South Africa has made considerable strides in addressing mine water challenges; however, it is imperative that these efforts are bolstered and improved upon, through aligning research with implementation, ensuring that the correct processes are in place and adapting the regulatory environment to be more conducive for the reuse and management of mine water. This was highlighted by speakers participating Creamer Media’s Mine Water webinar, held on May 22.
