Advanced Ceramic Membrane Filtration for Mining Wastewater Treatment
Why Nanostone for Mining Wastewater?
Approach & Benefits
Our Ceramic Ultrafiltration Membranes provide an effective solution for mining wastewater treatment, addressing both quality and operational challenges.
- Simplified Treatment Scheme: Conventional approaches typically use multimedia filtration and polymeric UF membranes; Nanostone replaces both in a single-unit operation, simplifying the treatment process.
- Long-Lifetime Physical Barrier: Nanostone removes abrasive coal particles that lead to shortened PUF lifetimes and disrupt downstream RO operations.
- Robust Operation: With regulations driving the need for RO, Nanostone’s solution is ideal for regions with stringent reuse and Zero-Liquid Discharge (ZLD) standards.

Common Questions
About our Mining Wastewater Application
How does Nanostone’s technology treat mining wastewater?
How does Nanostone’s technology treat mining wastewater?
Nanostone’s technology treats mining wastewater by using Ceramic Ultrafiltration Membranes, which simplify the process by combining the functions of both multimedia filtration and polymeric UF in a single unit. This reduces operational complexity and improves efficiency. The membranes effectively remove abrasive coal particles, protecting downstream Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems and extending their lifespan. Nanostone’s solution is particularly suited for regions with strict reuse and Zero-Liquid Discharge (ZLD) regulations, ensuring compliance with environmental standards while maintaining robust and reliable operation.
How do you adapt your solutions to fluctuations in the quality of wastewater we experience in mining?
How do you adapt your solutions to fluctuations in the quality of wastewater we experience in mining?
Nanostone’s technology adapts to fluctuations in mining wastewater quality by offering robust filtration capabilities that can handle variable contaminant loads. The Ceramic Ultrafiltration Membranes are designed to efficiently remove suspended solids, including abrasive particles, and protect downstream processes like Reverse Osmosis (RO). Their durability ensures consistent performance, even with changes in water composition, and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance. The flexibility of Nanostone’s solution makes it suitable for environments with fluctuating water quality, ensuring reliable operation under diverse conditions.
