| Description |
In the Jharia Coalfields, Dhanbad, India, huge quantities of water are pumped out of underground mines to make mining possible. The water contains high concentrations of total hardness, which makes it unsuitable for domestic use. Waste fly ash generated nearby from burning the coal in thermal power plants can be converted into a zeolitic mineral, and used to treat the mine water. The fly ash zeolite was determined to be effective in removing total hardness from the mine water. At a 40 g/L dose of fly ash zeolite, approximately 72% of the hardness was removed from the mine water. However, the mine water still requires additional treatment to further reduce total dissolved solids to make the mine water potable.
