Abstract. The paper is devoted to the substantiation of an ecologically-oriented approach to solving a problem of highly mineralized mine waters while using appropriate natural effects and phenomena. Environmental safety and energy stability is ensured by involving a complex of renewable energy sources, which includes solar panels and vertical wind turbines. While solving the problems of harmonization of nature management technologies, new scientific approaches are considered; the approaches are based on the phenomena taking place in the natural environment, guaranteeing environmental safety, and meeting the optimal energy and economic parameters. It is shown that the search for new approaches should be aimed at harmonizing mining technologies, which should be focused on a comprehensive combination of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and effects borrowed from the natural systems. Relying on the analysis of natural effects and phenomena as well as the available methods of mine water demineralization, a new system of a desalination technology using natural phenomena is developed. A scheme of mine water demineralization is developed; all stages of the development of a demineralization complex are considered. Taking into account the principles of ecological and economic feasibility, it is proposed to use renewable energy sources, that meets either partially or completely the electricity needs of the demineralization complex in mines owing to the operation of solar power plants based on solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. An energy autonomous complex is organized on the basis of renewable energy sources. It is proved that the demineralization complexes of most Kryvbas and Western Donbass mines can be fully supplied with the electricity from renewable sources. The main provisions of new approaches in solving the problems of negative consequences of mining activities are developed. The main provisions are developed in terms of treatment of highly mineralized mine waters of Kryvbas. The technological objects of the complex are rationally integrated into the natural environment of the territory with the optimal use of natural effects.
Keywords: natural phenomena, harmonized technologies, innovative technologies, highly mineralized mine water, demineralization.
