Mining Water Recycling Rates Stagnate
Mining Water Recycling Rates Stagnate
April 2, 2025
Disappointingly, miner’s water recycling rates have flattened, if not fallen, since 2021. EcoVAP is finalizing a new technology to help with water purification and reuse. However, as with all wastewater technologies, and in nearly all industries that generate wastewater, the process of extracting the reusable (i.e., cleaner) water will always also generate an even more contaminated residual wastewater (i.e., slurry, or “brine concentrate” or “concentrate” in reverse osmosis, for example). For wastewater disposal, EcoVAP’s proven, biomimicry-based enhanced evaporation is here to help with all-in costs that are usually well below traditional wastewater disposal methods.

Indonesia Cancels Mine Due to Catastrophic Tailings Risk in Seismic Area
June 2025
While Indonesia’s decision to cancel a high-risk mine permit (reflecting wet tailing storage in a high seismicity risk area) is laudable, EcoVAP can create a win-win by eliminating the water, thus practically eliminating the need for a wet TSF.
