Application of Ozone Generator in Mining Wastewater Treatment

2026/06/16 14:55

Mining wastewater is complex, containing high levels of flotation reagents, COD, heavy metals, and other pollutants that are difficult to treat. Ozone generator , with its strong oxidizing power and no secondary pollution, is an ideal solution for mining wastewater treatment.

Key Application Areas

  • Beneficiation Wastewater
    Ozone generator efficiently degrades residual flotation reagents such as xanthates and dithiophosphates. COD removal rates can exceed 90%, and treated water can be reused or discharged to meet standards.

  • Mine Drainage (Coal Mine Water)
    Effectively removes petroleum hydrocarbons and dissolved organics, with oil removal rates around 30% at manageable operating costs.

  • Cyanide-Containing Wastewater
    Mature application in gold smelting. After ozone oxidation, total cyanide concentration can be reduced to below 2 mg/L, meeting environmental protection requirements.

  • Heavy Metal Removal
    Ozone can synergistically remove copper, manganese, mercury, and other heavy metals, with removal efficiencies above 97%.

Core Advantages

  • High Efficiency – Strong oxidizing power rapidly decomposes complex pollutants.

  • Clean – Decomposition product is oxygen, no secondary pollution.

  • Flexible – Can be used alone or combined with UV, catalysts, and other technologies.

  • Cost-Effective – Significant cost advantages in applications like cyanide removal.

Development Trends

Ozone oxidation technology is evolving toward catalytic enhancement, multi-technology integration, and automated control. It holds broad prospects in advanced treatment and resource recycling of mining wastewater.
