  Abstract (down) Acid mine drainage, the drainage of metals, and the prediction of mine water rebound after mine closure are major problems for the mining industry. In the literature, the difficulties in evaluating the hydrodynamics of flooded mines are well described, although only a few tracer tests in flooded mines have been published. Increased knowledge about the hydraulic behaviour of the mine water within a flooded mine might significantly reduce the costs of mine closure and remediation. Relatively cheap and reliable results for decision making can be obtained when tracer tests are properly conducted in a flooded mine prior to planning of remediation strategies or numerical simulations. Applying the results of successful tracer tests allows one to optimise remediation designs and thereby diminish the costs of remediation. The paper summarises the results of several tracer tests and draws general conclusions from such tests.

  Title Removal and recovery of metal ions from acid mine drainage using lignite-A low cost sorbent Type Journal Article

  Abstract (down) Acid mine drainage (AMD), has long been a significant environmental problem resulting from the microbial oxidation of iron pyrite in presence of water and air, affording an acidic solution that contains toxic metal ions. The main objective of this study was to remove and recover metal ions from acid mine drainage (AMD) by using lignite, a low cost sorbent. Lignite has been characterized and used for the AMD treatment. Sorption of ferrous, ferric, manganese, zinc and calcium in multi-component aqueous systems was investigated. Studies were performed at different pH to find optimum pH. To simulate industrial conditions for acid mine wastewater treatment, all the studies were performed using single and multi-columns setup in down flow mode. The empty bed contact time (EBCT) model was used for minimizing the sorbent usage. Recovery of the metal ions as well as regeneration of sorbent was achieved successfully using 0.1 M nitric acid without dismantling the columns. < copyright > 2006 Elsevier B.V.

  Title Heavy metal removal mechanism of acid mine drainage in wetlands: A critical review Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Minerals Engineering Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 19 Issue 2 Pages 105-116  
  Keywords Acid mine drainage Metal removal mechanism Wetlands  
  Abstract (down) Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most significant environmental challenges facing the mining industry worldwide. Water infiltrating through the metal sulphide minerals, effluents of mineral processing plants and seepage from tailing dams becomes acidic and this acidic nature of the solution allows the metals to be transported in their most soluble form. The conventional treatment technologies used in the treatment of acid mine drainage are expensive both in terms of operating and capital costs. One of the methods of achieving compliance using passive treatment systems at low cost, producing treated water pollution free, and fostering a community responsibility for acid mine water treatment involves the use of wetland treatment system. These wetlands absorb and bind heavy metals and make them slowly concentrated in the sedimentary deposits to become part of the geological cycle. In this paper a critical review of the heavy metal removal mechanism involving various physical, chemical and biological processes, which govern wetland performance, have been made. This information is important for the siting and use of wetlands for remediation of heavy metals.

  Title Effectiveness of various small-scale constructed wetland designs for the removal of iron and zinc from acid mine drainage under field conditions Type Journal Article

  Abstract (down) A system of planted and implanted small-scale SSF (subsurface flow) and SF (surface flow) constructed wetlands together with HP (hydroponic systems) were installed to compare the removal efficiencies of Fe and Zn from AMD (acid mine drainage) under long-term field conditions. Maximum removal of 94 % – 97 % (116 mg/m(exp 2)/d – 142 mg/m(exp 2)/d) for Fe and 69 % – 77 % (6.2 mg/m(exp 2)/d – 7.9 mg/m(exp 2)/d) for Zn was calculated for the planted soil systems. The planted SSF was most sensitive to heavy rain fall. Short-term increases of the metal concentration in the outflows, short-term breakdowns of the Fe removal and continual long-term breakdowns of the Zn removal were observed. In contrast to Zn removal, all wetland types are applicable for Fe removal with maximum removal in the range of 60 % – 98 %. Most of the removed Fe and Zn was transformed and deposited inside the soil bed. The amount absorbed by the plants (0.03 % to 0.3 %) and gravel-associated soil beds (0.03 % to 1.7 %) of the total input were low for both metals. The response of the planted SSF to rainfall suggests a remobilisation of metals accumulated inside the rhizosphere and the importance of buffering effects of the surface water layers of SF systems. The importance of plants for metal removal was shown.

  Title Effective remediation of grossly polluted acidic, and metal-rich, spoil heap drainage using a novel, low-cost, permeable reactive barrier in Northumberland, UK Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Environmental Pollution Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 143 Issue 2 Pages 261-268  
  Keywords mine water treatment  
  Abstract (down) A permeable reactive barrier (PRB) for remediation of coal spoil heap drainage in Northumberland, UK, is described. The drainage has typical chemical characteristics of pH < 4, [acidity] > 1400 mg/L as CaCO3, [Fe] > 300 mg/L, [Mn] > 165 mg/L, [Al] > 100 mg/L and IS041 > 6500 mg/L. During 2 years of operation the PRB has typically removed 50% of the iron and 40% of the sulphate from this subsurface spoil drainage. Bacterial sulphate reduction appears to be a key process of this remediation. Treatment of the effluent from the PRB results in further attenuation; overall reductions in iron and sulphate concentrations are 95% and 67% respectively, and acidity concentration is reduced by an order of magnitude. The mechanisms of attenuation of these, and other, contaminants in the drainage are discussed. Future research and operational objectives for this novel, low-cost, treatment system are also outlined.
