Active Treatment of Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Cold Mine Water Using Advanced Oxidation and Membrane-Related Processes: A Review

Responsible use and effective treatment of mine water are prerequisites sustainable mining. The behavior contaminants in evolves relation to the metastable characteristics some species, changes related life cycle, mixing processes at various scales. In cold climates, requires adaptation site-specific conditions, including high flow rates, salinity, low temperatures, remoteness, sensitivity receiving waterbodies. Contaminants emerging concern (CECs) represent a newer issue treatment. This paper reviews recent research on challenges opportunities CECs treatment, with focus advanced oxidation membrane-based sites operating climates. Finally, identifies needs
