After extraction, many types of raw minerals are then subject to processes such as crushing, milling, washing and chemical treatments. Wastewater is generated during mineral processing (e.g., stone cutting, wash water, scrubber water), from equipment cooling, from mine dewatering, and from stormwater runoff at mines and processing plants.

leads to the precipitation of gypsum as per the following equation: Ca2+ + SO 4 2- CaSO 4.2H 2 O What differentiates gypsum from the metal hydroxides is that the metals precipitate very rapidly while gypsum precipitates slowly. Most lime treatment plant effluents are super-saturated for gypsum upon discharge.

In general, gypsum is either disposed of in a landfill or sold for the manufacture of wallboard. Disposal grade gypsum typically has a specified moisture of 15 percent. …

The coagulants (gypsum, molding plaster, or alum) have also been demonstrated to reduce turbidity in sediment basins. The material is applied by hand directly to the water after each storm. A dose rate of 20 to 30 pounds per 1,000 cubic feet of water, spread evenly to the surface, has been found to reduce turbidity.

However, FGD gypsum invariably needs to be predried since its free water content remains high after mechanical grinding treatment ...

In general, gypsum stacks are acidic, and have a pH ranging from 1.5 to 2.0. They also contain high concentrations of fluoride, sulfate, phosphate, and sodium 2 .

A filter press (FP) provides sludge dewatering by pressing the sludge between a series of porous plates. The process forces water from the sludge by applying high pressures to sludge layers held between a series of 20−80 rectangular plates. The plates are recessed to allow them to be filled with sludge, and a filter cloth with an …

Figure 4. Amount of calcium in the soil solution in the year after the treatment application. The soil samples were extracted with the ammonium acetate method and measured with MP-AES. See the text for treatments corresponding to code. Gypsum is best applied routinely, as frequent irrigations leach out calcium from the root zone.

Dewatering often involves both filtration (cake formation) and consolidation (cake compression), and for biological sludge it is difficult to distinguish between the two processes ( Stickland et al., 2005 ). Thus, the term dewaterability is here used to describe the rate of both the filtration and consolidation.

The composition of the FGD waste water stream is affected by the capacity of the boiler, the efficiency of the fly ash removal and the gypsum dewatering system in case limestone forced oxidation (LSFO) is performed. FGD wastewater treatment is challenging due to its particular properties:

Phosphorus removal using lanthanides, cerium and lanthanum, remove phosphorus by forming a precipitate mineral with the phosphate that is very dense. This mineral precipitates quickly and easily, without forming a floc …
