Berkeley Pit Water Research Project
Principal Investigator: Dr. H. Huang

The objective of the Berkeley Pit Water Research Project was to
establish the feasibility of using physical oxidation (lime addition)
to treat the Berkeley Pit water. Berkeley Pit water was treated
using a two-stage neutralization process. Experimental testing
for this project consisted of four phases: physical oxidation, neutralization,
and metal removal; metals separation and recovery; use of milling
wastes; and diversion and treatment of various inflow water sources.
Physical oxidation with lime addition became the technology named
in the Record of Decision for treating the Berkeley Pit water.
