Abstract This paper identifies and discusses optimization of wastewater concentration and disposal alternatives for wastewaters generated by in situ solution leaching. Disposal alternatives considered include:deep well injection;evaporation ponds;reverse osmosis (RO) concentration plus deep well injection, andRO concentration plus evaporation ponds. Factors affecting the RO process and other disposal processes include: flushing volume required for processes include: flushing volume required for restoration, recovery of RO system, degree of pretreatment and restoration pumping schedule. pretreatment and restoration pumping schedule Introduction Restoration of uranium in situ solution leached deposits generates large volumes of wastewaters which together with leaching process bleed streams must be disposed of by suitable techniques. The wastewaters contain gross alpha, gross beta activities and other constituents in excess of levels permitted for disposal by normal non- radioactive methods. The costs for disposal of these wastewaters normally range between 5 and 15 percent of the total production costs. As in situ percent of the total production costs. As in situ solution mining develops front its infancy stages and as capacities of operations increase, it is becoming increasingly important to optimize waste- water disposal systems to reduce production costs. This paper is concerned with the effects of various operational parameters on the costs of wastewater disposal by deep well injection and evaporation ponds with and without wastewater concentrations by reverse osmosis (RO). Techniques are presented for optimizing RO concentration of the wastewater there by reducing volumes requiring disposal. Large reductions in wastewater volumes are only possible with the RO process if feedwaters are properly pretreated to prevent membrane damage. Several different pretreatment applications are described. The effects of such operational factors such as restoration flowrate, number of pore volumes flushed, and restoration-leaching schedules on wastewater disposal costs are discussed. ALTERNATE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS There are two techniques currently available for disposal of in situ wastewaters: deep well injection and evaporation ponds. Each of these alternatives has advantages and disadvantages specific to particular sites. A prerequisite for injection wells is the existence of formations suitable for storage of waste solutions at depths providing isolation from the surface environment. providing isolation from the surface environment. In many states, regulatory restraints prohibit the use of deep well disposal for in situ wastewaters. Capital costs for deep wells are highly variable depending primarily upon the depth to the injection stratum and the nature and difficulty of drilling in the overlying stratum. Costs typically range between $2.00 and $5.00 per gallon per day (gpd) capacity. A 150 gallon per minute (gpm) injection would cost $750,000 based upon an average capital cost $3.50/gpd capacity. This is equivalent to $1.40 per 1,000 gallons based upon a 15-year life at 12 percent. Operating costs normally range between $0.10 and $0.70 per 1,000 gallons depending on injection pressures and scaling tendency. In general, injection wells are characterized as high capital costs and relatively intermediate operation costs. Evaporation ponds are a disposal alternative in geographical areas where the evaporation exceeds the precipitation. Recent government regulations have precipitation. Recent government regulations have proposed that all evaporation and storage ponds used proposed that all evaporation and storage ponds used for containment of uranium ore processing solutions would require double impermeable liners instead of the single liner currently mandated. State and Federal agencies regulate the design criteria for all such ponds including provisions for monitoring systems and closure or removal of the pond and its contents." @default.
