Limestone Neutralisation of Arsenic Rich Effluent from a Gold Mine
Traditionally acid mine water is neutralised with lime Limestone is a cheaper alternative for such applications A case study showed that limestone can be used effectively to replace lime for the neutralization of arsenic rich acid water The cost of limestone treatment is % less than that of lime The acidity can be removed from to g/L as CaCO3
A study of the practices and processes and benefit sharing of limestone
The focal points for discussion in this article are the process of limestone mining growth trends in limestone production allocation of royalties benefit sharing between limestone miners and local communities The transportation of limestone from quarry sites to the point of final sale is the largest cost factor in limestone miners
