Abstract
The effective electrochemical method of saponite and slime removal from recycled water of Severalmaz JSC plants is scientifically and experimentally justified based on the analysis of electric properties of saponite surface. The method consists in utilizing electrophoretic attachment of negative-charge fine saponite particles to anode and electroosmosis and clarified water exudation on cathode. The developed method will allow higher efficiency and regulation of diamond extraction and ecology problem resolution due to closed water rotation and aborted water discharge to the tundra.
