FOR WATER<br />

TREATMENT<br />

BIOPROSESSING:<br />

BIOLEACHING<br />

Laboratory scale study to find optimal<br />

flotation conditions for arsenic<br />

containing gold ores<br />

Lab-scale tests to find and apply costeffective<br />

sorption materials for Asremoval<br />

from mine waters<br />

Laboratory batch tests for side<br />

streams and waste materials<br />

Continuous leaching tanks for nickel<br />

concentrate in pilot-scale<br />

To produce high quality gold<br />

concentrate with very low<br />

arsenic grade and recovery<br />

To develop techniques for<br />

removal of trace level Asconcentrations<br />

as a polishing<br />

step before discharge to the<br />

environment<br />

To reduce the amount of<br />

released arsenic and minimize<br />

environmental impacts of<br />

arsenic containing streams<br />

and waste materials<br />

BIOPROCESSING:<br />

BIO-OXIDATION<br />

Fluidized-bed reactor for waste waters To stabilize arsenic binding it<br />

into the iron precipitate<br />
