Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Wybrane problemy związane z zagospodarowaniem wód kopalnianych(2005) Lewkiewicz-Małysa, Aleksandra; Winid, BogumiłaUtilization of mine waters has become a serious problem in mining and processing industry. Appropriate practices of waste mining waters management should be implemented to minimalised the destructive impact on the environment. The waste mine waters differ in physiochemical composition which is a result of natural and sometimes technological processes. Salinity of such waters is the major problem. Two possible methods of saline mine waters management have been discussed in the paper - reprocessing chemical material (salt production) and underground storing. The assessment has been based on collating chemical analysis results of salt mine leakage waters, water from copper ore mine and formation brine from gas deposit mine. The examined waters differ in their salinity levels, calcium and magnesium content. Yet, the most significant difference is the lack of heavy metals in water from salt mine leakage. The influence of the above factors on the choice of mine waters utilization method has been discussed. Possible problems that may occur while storing the salt mine waters in the underground rock structure have been pointed out as well.
