VCL has worked with CSIRO since 2008 to provide long term solutions for the remediation and neutralisation of above and below surface acidic and contaminated geochemically-complex wastewaters from mining and industry to a quality suitable for reuse or for discharge into the natural environment.
The treatment (licensed by CSIRO to VCL) involves the synthesis and application of hydrotalcites – a layered double hydroxide mineral, primarily composed of magnesium and aluminium.
Simple, generally one-step application methodology suitable for:
The technology has world-wide application for:
Virtual Curtain technology offers superior outcomes to the traditional use of lime-based additives to remediate acidic and contaminated waste water, with advantages including:
