Abstract
The problem of clearing the high mineralized mine waters is rather actual.
Most sharply this problem is in Donetsk and Lugansk regions that is caused both
limitation of water resources and advancing influence of dumped mine waters on
pollution of region reservoirs. Dump of mine waters leads to infringement and
distortion of natural modes in a hydrological network, salination and silting-up
of reservoirs, thereby worsening a condition and quality performances of water
objects, in particular the small rivers. Almost all dumped mine waters are
aggressive and contain significant amounts of heavy metals and other microcells.
There is zinc, nickel, manganese, cobalt, etc, among them.
The object of studying is the mine of a name of V.I.Lenina SHC "Makeevugol".
At the enterprise is made reagentless the mechanical clearing in horizontal
sediment, with the subsequent additional cleaning in ponds-lighter. Except a
high mineralization in mine waters of this mine there are the ions of heavy
metals: strontium, titan and manganese which contents exceeds maximum
concentration limit for dump in a reservoir of cultural and community usage. In
the table is resulted the characteristic of mine water before clearing, after
clearing and specifications of MPD.

Dump of mine water is carried out on a beam of Kalinovaja, then in the river
Gruzskaya. In the river Gruzskaya also dump the industrial dumps many other
industrial enterprises of Makeyevka and Hartsyzska. The Silts of the river
Gruzskaya now on degree of threat for population health concern a category
"rather dangerous".
Three-day biotesting of toxicity has been conducted for onions ordinary
(Allium Cera L) by an estimation an indicator of growth the roots. For
biotesting have been taken water samples in a place of dump the mine water in a
Kalinovaja beam, above a place of the issue on 500 m, and also below the issue
on 500 m. From the received data it is possible to draw a conclusion that after
dump of mine water intensity of growth the roots has considerably decreased. The
size of inhibition factor of growth the roots from the Kalinovaja beam above the
issue has constituted 4,3 %, below the issue – 61,7 %. The received results
testify to significant change of water toxicity of the Kalinovaja beam after
dump in it of mine waters.
MDue to that it is necessary to improve technologies and to search for new
ways of the decision the problem of clearing the mine waters. Reconstruction of
operating or building of new treatment facilities on the basis of modern
technologies is necessary for effective work of treatment facilities and
performance of established specifications MPD, on what are required the
corresponding investments.
Influence of heavy metals on natural systems ambiguously. Dump of the mine
waters containing chemical elements in concentration which exceeds maximum
permissible, represents potential danger to environment. On the one hand heavy
metals are the integral constituent of an organism as many connections of these
elements are a part of some enzymes, vitamins, hormones. In particular the
danger of increasing the background contents of manganese explains the
individual requirement of hidrobionts in it is very small, and receipt from an
environment of their surplus amounts leads to various toxic effects and ability
to live infringement.
Thereof all volume of dumping the mine waters is carried to a category
insufficiently cleared on a chemical compound.
Ions of metals Fe+2 , Ca+2 , Mn+2 , Mg+2 are capable to form insoluble
connections in the course of water treating. At the analytical review of
existing methods of clearing the mine water, the object of researches chooses
studying of influence the process of coagulation on extraction of heavy metals.
The studied mechanism is based on hydrolysis of extracted ions and the
subsequent soconcrection with flakes coagulant.
The mechanism of clarification the mine waters by coagulation can be
considered as the formation process at coagulant hydrolysis insoluble hydroxides
of aluminium or iron, to the developed surface of which sticks superfine
particles of the weighed substances as a result of adhesion. These particles
weighed in mine waters can serve also as the formation centers of a firm phase
at condensation allocation hydroxides from the solution. Colloidal particles of
hydroxides which allocated at hydrolysis of salts-coagulants, in the neutral or
subacidic environment of mine waters, owing to sorption of cations hydrogen and
aluminium or iron, have a positive charge of a surface; suspensions of mine
waters are negative. It promotes their mutual adhesion. Rapprochement of
particles on distance at which there is their agglutination (coagulation), is
reached as a result of the Brownian motion (molecular-kinetic coagulation),
hashing of environment (gradient coagulation) or owing to the directed moving of
particles, moving with various speeds under the influence of a gravity
(gravitational coagulation).
As a result of coagulant processes are formed overmiccelar structures hardly
hydrated hydroxides of aluminium or iron with extracted by them water pollution
– flakes. Their occurrence is caused by the units of particles of salts
hydroxides have the wrong form. On separate plots of a surface such units
decrease in thermodynamic potential and concentration of compensating ions is
observed; at contact of such plots units stick together. However the
availability at units of plots with the increased potential interferes their
complete agglutination. The structures consisting of spatial cells in which
water is concluded imobilize are as a formed result. Therefore formed coagulants
are strongly water-bearing and contain only 2-5 % of a firm phase.
For research were used tests of water with turbidity 200 mg/l, concentration
of manganese ions is 1 mg/l (simulated conditions). For comparison of changing
the contents of manganese has been carried out the analysis on definitions of
the manganese contents in test before coagulation and after coagulation. Used
coagulanr is aluminium sulphate, a dose of coagulant (counting on a waterless
product) is 31,7 mg/l, coagulation time is 1,5 hours. As a result of the
conducted researches the data has been obtained that at realisation of
coagulation the manganese contents in investigated water has decreased for 30 %
(before clearing – 0,06 mg/l, after – 0,04mg/l).
Conclusion from all aforesaid is to choose the most effective clearing
system of mine water for the purpose of decreasing the technogenic effect of the
mountain enterprise on a hydrographic network of region, and also on environment
as a whole.
