Abstract

This paper presents the results of the examination of the possibility of applying
zeolite bearing tuff, as a natural material, for the removal of heavy metals (copper, zinc,
manganese and lead) from mine water.
The experiments were performed on wastewater taken from drainage water from Svinja
River above horizont XV from The mine of lead and zinc "SASA" in Makedonska Kamenica
and The copper mine "Bucim" in Radovis.
From the analysis can be concluded that zeolite bearing tuff successfully removes heavy
metals (copper, manganese, zinc and lead) from mining wastewater. By treating these water
with zeolite bearing tuff, the concentration of heavy metals are reduced and the pH value are
increased, so it can be released into natural waterways as water from the III and IV class.
