Abstract

The work deals with processes occurring on interaction of mine drainage waters with fine-grain dusty particles, and filtration of the water through sulphide rock mass. The studies have shown that the environmental hazard likely to be caused by the drainage waters of the Severny mining plant of the Kola MMC Ltd is lower than it might be expected owing to precipitating of the heavy metals by iron hydroxides and magnesium hydrosilicates. An assessment of the feasibility of hydrometallurgical processing of impregnated copper-nickel ores has been prepared.
