Coal dominates China's energy structure, and its extraction process generates significant amounts of wastewater. If this wastewater is discharged directly without treatment, it will inevitably lead to severe environmental pollution and substantial waste of water resources, making it impossible to achieve the goals of a circular economy. Therefore, effectively developing, managing, and utilizing coal mine water resources is of great importance for the sustainable development of the coal industry.

The mine water control system is an integrated system that combines automation, information technology, and intelligent technologies, designed for comprehensive management of the entire process—covering the collection, treatment, transportation, and monitoring of mine water. Powered by core components such as a sensor network, PLC control units, and a remote monitoring platform, the system continuously tracks water quality parameters, equipment status, and operational conditions in real time, enabling automatic execution of operations like pump start/stop, chemical dosing control, and valve adjustments, while also supporting remote intervention when necessary.

The coal mine water utilization project's treatment process is divided into three stages: pretreatment, desalination & concentration, and evaporation & crystallization. During the pretreatment stage, suspended solids and impurities are removed through processes such as coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration. In the desalination and concentration stage, membrane separation technologies like reverse osmosis or electrodialysis are employed to concentrate salts while enabling the reuse of purified water. Finally, the evaporation & crystallization stage uses an evaporator to further concentrate the remaining solution, ultimately producing recyclable crystalline salt. The treated water generated throughout the entire system can be supplied to various processes within the mining area, including production, dust suppression, and landscaping, thereby achieving closed-loop water recycling.

This system, by integrating control strategies with intelligent algorithms, can automatically adjust operational parameters in response to changes in water quality and quantity, optimizing energy efficiency while ensuring the stability and reliability of the water treatment process. Ultimately, it helps achieve the goals of mine water resource utilization, reduction, and harmlessness.
