METHOD OF RECYCLING WATER SUPPLY OF HYDRAULIC MINING MEANS USING SETTLER Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B01D21/02 E02B7/06 

FIELD: hydraulic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of recycling water supply means of hydraulic mining operations using settling tanks, constructed on terrain. Method involves erection of sludge pond, receiving and wash of hydraulic mixture, formation of settling tank, clarification, accumulation and storage of process water in it, discharge, intake and return of process water in circulation water supply system by means of pump station in a settling tank. At the place of discharge of industrial wastes screen is installed, parallel to the surface of sludge pond at the distance providing optimum sump capacity and determined depending on the water influx, flow rate and width of the settling tank. Pump station is installed directly behind the contours of the screen. Screen is installed above water surface, on the value of maximum wave attack.

EFFECT: technical result is upgraded efficiency of settler due to cleaning of process water, and decrease in the range of transportation of pressure water.
