Title The Coal Authority Minewater Treatment Programme: An update on the performance of operational schemes Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Land Contam. Reclam. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 2 Pages 161-164
Keywords Wetlands and estuaries Groundwater problems and environmental effects Pollution and waste management non radioactive geographical abstracts: physical geography hydrology (71 6 8) geomechanics abstracts: excavations (77 10 10) geological abstracts: environmental geology (72 14 2) constructed wetland mine drainage water treatment pollutant removal United Kingdom
Abstract (down) The performance of mine water treatment schemes, operated under the Coal Authority's national Minewater Treatment Programme, is summarised. Most schemes for which data are available perform successfully and remove over 90% iron. Mean area-adjusted iron removal rates for reedbed components of treatment schemes, range from 1.5 to 5.5 g Fe/m2, with percentage iron removal rates ranging from 68% to 99%. In the majority of cases, calculated area-adjusted removal rates are limited by influent iron loadings, and the empirical sizing criterion for aerobic wetlands, based on American removal rates of 10 g Fe/m2day, remains a valuable tool in the initial stages of treatment system design and estimation of land area requirements. Where a number of schemes have required modification after becoming operational, due consideration must always be given to the potential for dramatic increases in influent iron loadings, and to how the balance between performance efficiency and aesthetic appearance can best be achieved. Continual review and feedback on the performance of treatment systems, and the problems encountered during design implementation, will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Minewater Treatment Programme within the UK.

Title Mine drainage treatment in Polish lignite mining Type Journal Article
Year 1992 Publication Mine Water Env. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 1 Pages 35-44
Keywords laboratory scale tests plants bogs biological filters open cut mining mine drainage filtration flocculation radiation particle size suspended solids water treatment water discharge field tests lignite mines poland mining and industrial water water treatment water quality
Abstract (down) The paper presents volumes and characteristics of water discharged from some Polish lignite open pit mines and discusses methods for its treatment. Results of research work concerned with increase in mine drainage efficiency by using processes of radiation, flocculation and filtration through a set of bog plants, iknown as grass filter are also discussed

Title Main Methods and Techniques of Mine Water Treatment in USSR Type Journal Article
Year 1982 Publication Int. J. Mine Water Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1 Issue 4 Pages 27-33
Keywords mine water UdSSR Rußland
Abstract (down) The paper discusses the different methods of mine water treatment used in the main coalfields of The Soviet Union. The technology used in treating the water in order to reduce suspended solids, salts, petrochemicals and bacterial contamination are fully described and the relative costs of each method are also given. The development of new methods of treatment and sludge disposal necessary to meet the requirements of recent legislation are also dealt with.

Title The use of an in-situ porous reactive wall to remediate a heavy metal plume Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication ICARD 2000, Vols I and II, Proceedings Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1227-1232
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract (down) The oxidation of sulfide minerals at an ore transfer location in Western Canada has resulted in widespread contamination of underlying soil and groundwater. The oxidation of sulfide minerals has released sulfate [SO4] and heavy metals including cadmium [Cd], copper [Cu], nickel [Ni], lead [Pb], and zinc [Zn] into the groundwater. A compost-based sulfate-reducing reactive wall was installed in the path of the plume in an attempt to reduce the potential impact of the heavy metals on a down-gradient marine inlet. Monitoring of the reactive wall over a 21-month period has shown that Cu concentrations decrease from over 4000 mug/L to less than 5 mug/L. Cadmium, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations also show similar decreases with treated concentrations generally being observed near or below detection limits.

Title Type Book Whole
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 649-654
Keywords flying ash copper cyanide gold mine tailing ponds detoxification
Abstract (down) The objective of this study was to examine the use of flying ash to remove the copper cyanide species from gold mine effluents. In order to discharge them safely with minimum impact to the environment the effluents must be treated in such a way that the legal conditions were attained with the lowest possible cost. This paper presents the treatment of cyanide solution originating from tailing ponds at the end of detoxification by direct contact with flying ash.
