  • RELEASE AGENT FOR IMPROVED REMOVAL OF VALUABLE MATERIAL FROM THE SURFACE OF AN ENGINEERED COLLECTION MEDIA
    Publication number: 20220410175
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing mineral particles from loaded engineered collection media includes one or more solvents with sufficiently low surface tension. The engineered collection media are made of a synthetic material and have a surface coated with a hydrophobic material to provide a chemical bond between the mineral particles and the surface. The solvents together with a releasing mechanism are arranged to disrupt the chemical bond. Preferably, a surfactant or a nonionic surfactant is also added to the solvents.

  • Acid mine drainage treatment
    Patent number: 10875796
    Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of neutralizing acid drainage from particulate mining waste, comprising consolidating the particulate mining waste to form a consolidated waste solid; adding a hydrophobizing material into the consolidated waste solid, and incorporating into the consolidated waste solid a controlled release base formulation, wherein the controlled release base formulation comprises a particulate base and a controlled release system, and wherein the controlled release base formulation responds to a decrease in pH from acid drainage to release the particulate base, thereby neutralizing the acid drainage.
