Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
  • Metals Mining
  • Ore Extraction and Transport
  • Water Resources Management
CONT

A series of storage ponds are required to manage the heap leach solution associated with the heap leach process; these include : pregnant solution pond; barren solution pond; [and] event pond. The pregnant and barren ponds are lined storage ponds for the solutions that will be used throughout the heap leach process. The event pond will be used to collect overflow from the heap leach pad during precipitation events. These ponds are sized to handle the 100-year rain event for 24 hours. These ponds will be lined to reduce the potential environmental impacts, and measures will be implemented to prevent access by wildlife.

Settling ponds may sometimes be referred to as polishing ponds, but they are not synonymous. A polishing pond is any pond in the treatment train that follows the facultative pond. A settling pond is usually placed at the beginning of the treatment series, but may also be a pond at the end of the system.

On peut y ajouter une lagune de finition de type mixte (microphytes et macrophytes) pour affiner le traitement notamment au niveau de l'azote, voire du phosphore.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

Secondary effluent is pumped from the SRWRF to a splitter box, which distributes the flow to six parallel ponds. Effluent from Ponds B, C, D, E and F flows to a collector channel and then to terminal collector Pond I. The sixth parallel pond(AG) discharges in series to Pond H, which in turn discharges to Pond I. All wetland effluent is then pumped to an on-site DIW for disposal during the first year of operational monitoring. Pending FDEP approval, the treated wetland effluent will be discharged to the adjacent L-30 Canal for surficial aquifer recharge.

Most of the early hyacinth systems involved rectangular basins operated in series similar to stabilization ponds.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Le système [SAS] est divisé en deux étapes, soit un traitement secondaire et un traitement tertiaire. Pour chacune de ces étapes on reconnaît aussi deux sections distinctes, soit des bassins en série et un marais artificiel, dont chacune joue un rôle particulier de traitement en fonction de l'activité des plantes qui y sont présentes.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wastewater Treatment
  • Water Pollution
CONT

A greater depth is sometimes recommended for the final cell in a series of hyacinth ponds because the hyacinth roots will be longer at lower nutrient concentrations in the water.

OBS

Cell for sewage or effluent treatment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
  • Pollution de l'eau
CONT

Les systèmes de traitement par aquaculture sont généralement conçus de la même façon que les systèmes d'étangs conventionnels sauf que différentes espèces de plantes et d'organismes aquatiques y sont présentes. Un ou plusieurs bassins (étangs ou canaux) peu profonds (0,4 à 1,8 m) sont aménagés afin d'assurer un temps de rétention variant de 4 à 36 jours selon les besoins et les conditions.

OBS

Bassin de stockage, de sédimentation pour le traitement des effluents.
