Issue
Mongolia, a landlocked country in East and Central Asia, is known for its vast mineral resources. The mining sector contributes significantly to Mongolia’s economy, accounting for about one-third of its GDP and serving as a primary source of foreign investment. However, the industry also poses considerable environmental challenges, leading to issues such as land degradation, water pollution, and air pollution. To address these problems, the use of geomembranes in the mining sector has emerged as an effective solution. Mongolia’s mining industry has long been criticized for its environmental impact, which disrupts the natural balance of the land and causes soil erosion. On the other hand, water pollution is another urgent problem in the mining industry. The extraction and processing of minerals requires large amounts of water, leading to contamination of surface and groundwater.
Solution
1.5mm high density polyethylene membrane, a type of geosynthetic material, have been identified as a potential solution to the environmental challenges faced by Mongolia’s mining sector. These synthetic liners are made from flexible, impermeable materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE).They are used to contain and control the release of pollutants, preventing contamination and mitigating environmental impact.
We at BPM believe that Mongolian customers should use geomembranes for tailings waste, heap leach pads and evaporation ponds in mining projects. Tailings can be stored on geomembranes, preventing pollutants from escaping into the soil and reducing the risk of land degradation and associated ecosystem damage. We stack the ore on a geomembrane liner and apply a leach solution to dissolve the metal. The solution is then collected and processed to recover the desired metals. By using high density polyethylene membrane
as barrier, mining companies can reduce the risk of water contamination by preventing the release of harmful chemicals and pollutants. In arid regions of Mongolia, evaporation ponds are commonly used to manage mining wastewater. These ponds promote the natural evaporation of water, leaving concentrated pollutants that can be further processed and safely disposed of. Installed in evaporation ponds, geomembranes prevent pollutants from seeping into the ground, thereby protecting groundwater resources from contamination.
BPM high density polyethylene membrane is chemically stable and are used in mining heap leach sites, evaporation ponds, and landfills. High and low temperature resistance, resistance to asphalt, oil, acid, alkali, salt and more than 80 kinds of strong acid and alkali chemical media corrosion, good anti-seepage performance, low cost of lining for mining geomembrane, significant anti-corrosion and anti-seepage effect. BPM high-density polymer Ethylene geomembrane is resistant to high and low temperature, high-density polyethylene geomembrane is used as anti-seepage, good economic benefit, low comprehensive cost, less investment, and meets the sewage anti-seepage standard. Therefore, the use of HDPE geomembrane anti-seepage in mining projects has been widely used.
After the customer learned about the use of high density polyethylene membrane in mining projects from us, he sent us the project site photos. Based on our export experience, we recommend BPM 1.5mm geomembrane to the customer. BPM clearly understands the needs of customers and proposes perfect solutions. Arrange samples, testing and production for customers at the first time and put forward our installation guidance. We have won the trust and support of customers with our professional customized services. After we confirm all the details through a week of order negotiation and professional ability, the customer pays the advance payment, and we produce and deliver the goods as soon as possible.
Benefits
HDPE anti-seepage geomembrane has the following advantages:
(1) No pollution. HDPE anti-seepage geomembrane anti-seepage principle is a general physical change and does not produce any harmful substances.
(2) It has high tensile strength and mechanical properties: its elasticity and deformation ability make it very suitable for expanding or shrinking the base surface, and can effectively overcome the uneven geomembrane settlement of the base surface.
(3) HDPE anti-seepage geomembrane features high anti-seepage coefficient: HDPE anti-seepage geomembrane is made of high-quality high-density polyethylene virgin resin and co-extrusion technology. It has high molecular density, low liquid permeability, and general waterproof The material has incomparable anti-seepage effect and anti-infiltration effect.
(4) Chemical stability. High density polyethylene membrane has excellent chemical stability, high and low temperature resistance, resistance to asphalt, oil and tar, acid, alkali, salt and other chemical solutions. It is widely used in sewage treatment, chemical reaction pool, waste landfill.
(5) Anti-aging function. high density polyethylene membrane has anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet, anti-decomposition capabilities, tear resistance, puncture resistance, low brittleness, small thermal deformation, and can be exposed to use, providing a good environment for anti-seepage Material guaranteed.
(6) Cost performance: Geomembrane adopts new technology to improve the anti-seepage effect, but the production process is more scientific and fast, so the product cost is lower than traditional waterproof materials. According to actual calculations, the general engineering using geomembrane will save about 50% of the cost.
Summary
Mongolia’s mining industry faces significant environmental challenges, including land degradation, water pollution, and air pollution. Geomembranes offer an effective solution to these problems, providing a barrier against contaminants and reducing the environmental impact of mining activities. By adopting geomembranes, the mining industry can demonstrate its commitment to eco-environmental protection, regulatory compliance and resource conservation, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future for Mongolia.
Through communication with Mongolian customers this time, we clearly understand the needs of customers and propose perfect solutions. Arrange samples, testing and production for customers at the first time and put forward our installation guidance. We have won the trust and support of customers with our professional customized services. In terms of mining projects, we have another practical experience, and our professionalism has been improved. We look forward to sincerely cooperating with you!
