摘要
The Research Organization of the Chamber of Mines (COMRO) has embarked on a programme aimed at developing technology and management strategies for improving the quality of mine water. A four-pronged approach is being followed. Firstly, minimizing water quality deterioration during use within mines; secondly, evaluating and developing suitable water treatment process technologies and related cost data; thirdly, developing water treatment system selection procedures, and fourthly, developing a mine water circuit water quality simulator to aid in improving water quality management. This paper reviews the current status of underground mine service water quality, discusses the practical problems associated with poor quality water, defines water quality criteria for specific mine water uses and details COMRO's programme for the development of treatment technologies and management strategies for the improvement of service water quality.
