Abstract

Madencilikte membranlar, madencilik atıksularının arıtılması, atıksulardan değerli metal kazanımı, yüklü liç çözeltilerinin konsantrasyonu ve değerli metallerin kazanımı, Asit Maden Drenajı (AMD) arıtımı, asit, kostik ve siyanür geri kazanımı gibi farklı alanlarda kullanılmaktadır. Madencilikte membranlar, düşük maliyetli, kolay işletilebilir, çevreci, seçici, yüksek giderim verimi ve daha az yer kaplaması nedeniyle tercih edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, madencilik endüstrisi tarafından Dünya’da ve ülkemizde kullanılmakta olan membran uygulamaları membran teknolojisindeki son gelişmeler ışığında değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre son geliştirilen yenilikçi membran proseslerinin üretilmesi ile membranların kritik özellikleri iyileştirilmiştir. Membran maliyetleri ve çalışma basınçları önemli oranda azalmış, tıkanma ve kirlenme sorunu kontrol edilebilir duruma gelmiştir. Böylece küresel ölçekte, madencilik endüstrisinde farklı amaçlarla membran kullanımı yaygınlaşmış ve ideal bir yöntem haline gelmiştir. Ülkemizde ise devam eden çalışmalarla birlikte yakın zamanda bu teknolojinin madencilikte yaygınlaşağı değerlendirilmektedir

MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGIES and APPLICATIONS in MINING PROCESSES

Abstract

In mining, membranes are used in different areas such as treatment of mining wastewater, precious metal recovery from wastewater, concentration of loaded leach solutions and recovery of precious metals, Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) treatment, acid, caustic and cyanide recovery. In mining, membranes are preferred because of their low cost, easy operation, environmentally friendly, selective, high removal efficiency and take up less space. In this study, the membrane applications used by the mining industry in the world and in our country have been evaluated in the light of the latest developments in membrane technology. Accordingly, the critical properties of membranes have been improved with the production of recently developed innovative membrane processes. Membrane costs and operating pressures have decreased significantly, and the problem of clogging and contamination has become controllable. Thus, its use for different purposes in the mining industry on a global scale has become widespread and an ideal method. In our country, along with ongoing studies, it is evaluated that this technology has recently become widespread in mining.
