Potential of membrane technology for treatment and reuse of water from old mining lakes

Potential of membrane technology for treatment and reuse of water from old mining lakes

The El-Nino phenomenon in early 2014 contributed to the lack of water supply in most Southeast Asian countries. Suggestions have since been made to ensure the continuity of water supply, one of which involves membrane technology to treat mine water so that it is compatible for citizens’ use. Accordi...
