Water for Mining - opportunities in scarcity and environmental regulation

Overview

Water for Mining features primary researched market analysis to give you valuable insight into the dynamics of this sector. We have interviewed more than 30 industry insiders to bring you expert advice on how to access the market, and focusses on the key areas of growth:

* Water supply with a focus on desalination
* The treatment of acid mine drainage
* Effluent treatment for onsite reuse
* The recovery of valuable metals from tailings ponds

The mining sector offers enormous growth opportunities for water treatment companies. As the municipal market for desalination slows, water for mining is a winning alternative. This report investigates how water scarcity and environmental regulation are driving the need for mining companies to invest in new technologies and develop water management strategies. Water scarcity is a problem in many areas where natural resources are abundant, creating an imperative for mining companies to consider reuse technologies. As environmental concerns grow, so too does the pressure on mining companies to ensure their effluent is treated appropriately for reuse and disposal.

This report explains the main options there are for managing water supply and effluent in the mining process, and explores opportunities for reuse. It offers key insight into how appropriate treatment technologies can aid the recovery of valuable metals from tailings ponds – this is closely linked to the rise in metal prices, allowing water companies to profit from the strength of the natural resources market.
