The Impact ◽  
Mud Flow

Sidoardjo mudflow has been occuring since 2006. This disaster is the first incident in Indonesia which has such a broad impact, like the settlements, fields, roads and other buildings submerged, resulting in enormous losses. Besides damaging the existing infrastructure in the area, the mud flow is also causing environmental damage, particularly contamination of ground water community. To find out how much the impact of the mud flow to the water quality community, carried out observations and surveys of well water quality conditions of the communities around the location of the mud puddles. In this paper provided an alternative drinking water treatment technology can be applied in this area. Keywords: Lapindo mud, environmental degradation, pollution of well water quality, alternative water treatment technologies

Operation Cost

According to the XingFu mine's water quality, put forward a technology for mine water underground treatment. Changing original underground mine water sump into complex settling pond. Estimate the investment and the operation cost of the underground mine water treatment project. The result shows that: the cost of the underground mine water treatment is only 1.1172 yuan per ton, saving about 2 yuan per ton compare with the price of industrial water. This prove that it is feasible and saving for underground mine water treatment in XingFu mine.

Traditionally acid mine water is neutralised with lime (Ca(OH)2). Limestone (CaCO3) is a cheaper alternative for such applications. This paper describes an investigation aimed at demonstrating that underground mine water can be neutralised with limestone in a fluidised-bed. The contact time required between the limestone and the acid water, chemical composition of water before and after treatment, and economic feasibility of the fluidised bed neutralisation process are determined. A pilot plant with a capacity of 10k1/h was operated continuously underground in a gold mine. The underground water could be neutralised effectively using the limestone process. The pH of the water was increased from less than 3 to more than 7, the alkalinity of the treated water was greater than 120 mg/l (as CaCO3) and the contact time required between mine water and limestone was less than 10 min (the exact contact time depends on the limestone surface area). Chemical savings of 56.4% can be achieved compared to neutralisation with lime.
