Title Brief Historical Review of Membrane-development and Membrane Applications in Waste-water Treatment in Southern Africa Type Journal Article
Year 1992 Publication (down) Water Sci. Technol. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 25 Issue 10 Pages 1-4
Keywords membranes reverse osmosis ultrafiltration microfiltration desalination waste-water treatment industrial effluents
Abstract Away back in 1953 few people in the world, let alone South Africa, knew or had heard about membrane desalination, but there was an increasing awareness that electrodialysis had considerable potential for the desalination of brackish water.In South Africa the development of the new gold fields in the northern Orange Free State and the problems posed by the presence of excessive volumes of very saline mine waters stimulated interest in desalination and the CSIR* in collaboration with the mining industry became involved in the development of the electrodialysis process. By 1959 the largest brackish desalination plant in the world had been built and commissioned. South Africans were thus in the forefront of this technology, even to the extent of making the required membranes locally.Our historical review of membrane development and the applications of membrane technology in Southern Africa encompasses both pressure- and voltage-driven processes. Examples of the pressure processes are microfiltration, ultrafiltration and charged membrane ultrafiltration or nanofiltration, and finally reverse osmosis with fixed and dynamically formed membranes. The voltage-drive processes considered are electrodialysis and electrodialysis reversal.

Title Application of remote monitoring and data management systems to environmental management of tailings facilities Type Book Chapter
Year 1999 Publication (down) Sudbury '99; Mining and the environment II; conference proceedings Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords acid mine drainage Algoma District Ontario applications Canada cost data management data processing Eastern Canada efficiency effluents Elliot Lake Ontario environmental analysis environmental management information management land management mining monitoring Ontario planning pollution remediation solid waste Stanleigh Mine tailings technology waste disposal 22, Environmental geology
Abstract The mining industry has made tremendous strides in the last 20 years in the prevention and control of acid mine drainage. However, there remain a number of circumstances where the long-term operation, care and maintenance of tailings management facilities will be required. The application of progressive environmental technologies and management systems is key to cost control and environmental liability management at these sites. Mine Waste Management Inc. currently operates Rio Algom Limited's five effluent treatment plants and seven waste management areas in the Elliot Lake, Ontario region using a Remote Plant Monitoring and Control Network (RPMCN). This system, based on Intellutions's “Fix 32” technology, enables the monitoring and control of these plants from a centralized location thus reducing labour costs while providing 24-hour surveillance. Scheduling, auditing and reporting of plant operating and environmental monitoring programs are integrated and controlled using the Envista (super TM) environmental information management system. Proper application of these technologies and management systems facilitates delivery of cost-effective environmental monitoring, and care and maintenance programs at these sites and provides tools to demonstrate compliance with all environmental performance criteria.
