Abstract

See full text

A process for reducing boron and/or fluoride ion content of water. Feed water is contacted, in the presence of magnesium, with an alkaline hydroxide to produce treated water and a magnesium precipitate containing boron and fluorine. The precipitate is separated from the treated water. The boron content of water is reducible from above about 0.8 mg/L to below about 0.7 mg/L, and the fluoride ion content is reducible from above about 1 mg/L to below about 0.9 mg/L. The magnesium precipitate is optionally used to neutralize pressure oxidized ore slurry or roaster calcine in the context of gold recovery operations.
