Integrated removal of inorganic contaminants from acid mine drainage using BOF slag, lime, soda ash and Reverse Osmosis (RO): Implication for the production of drinking water. 13th International Mine Water Association – Mine Water & Circular Economy (IMWA), Lappeenranta, Finland, June 25–30, 2017, pp. 381-388978-952-335-065-6http://www.imwa.info/docs/imwa_2017/IMWA2017_Masindi_381.pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/949413th International Mine Water Association – Mine Water & Circular Economy (IMWA), Lappeenranta, Finland, June 25–30, 2017This study evaluated the interaction of acid mine drainage (AMD) with Basic Oxygen (BOF) slag. The reaction proved that pH = 10, and 99% metals removal and 75% removal were achieved. Sulphate concentration was reduced from 18000 to 4000 mg/L another purification technology. Hardness was reduced using lime and Reverse Osmosis (RO) was used to further clean the water to drinking standard. A single two element RO system was simulated in Reverse Osmosis System Analysis (ROSA). The produced water complied with the South African National Standard (SANS) 241 Drinking Water Specifications.enAcid Mine DrainageBasic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slagInorganic contaminantsNeutralizationReverse OsmosisIntegrated removal of inorganic contaminants from acid mine drainage using BOF slag, lime, soda ash and reverse osmosis (RO): Implication for the production of drinking waterConference PresentationMasindi, V., & Osman, M.
