I am looking for the required #water #quality levels/criteria for a "non-drinking" water (or #recycled #wastewater) that should not be exceeded when using that water for #mine #operations? Any info is welcome.
I know seawater has been used in Copper mines in Chile. Any other examples of other "non-drinking water" use in mines?
Info on Underground Mines... and especially in the coal mining space is highly appreciated.
Most water inflow in underground mines comes filtered through super-incumbent strata and is of good quality. But in working district, because of mining, dust and mineral particles get mixed up. For machinery application, mine water can be used through on-line pipe filter.
My main point for the question is what water quality can the machinery use without having the corrosion risk? Is it like the machinery can handle 2000uS/cm? 2500uS/cm? Or max 1800uS/cm?
Any Health and safety issues with such high conductivity?
Testing of mine water is needed and accordingly online filter and online anti-corrosive additive can be added.
