  Abstract As a result of the collapse of a mine tailing dam in april 1998 about 40 km of the Agrio and Guadiamar valleys were covered with a layer of pyrite sludge. Although most of the sludge was removed, a small amount remains in the soil of the Agrio valley and the aquifer remains polluted with acid water (ph<4) and metals (10 mg/L Zn, 5 mg/L Cu and Al). A permeable reactive barrier was build across the aquifer to increase the alcalinity and retain the metals. The barrier is made up of three sections of 30 m longX1.4 m thickX5 m deep (average) containing different proportions of limestone gravel, organic compost and zero-valent iron. The residence time of the water in the barrier is about two days. Within the barrier, the pH values increase to near neutral mainly due to calcite dissolution. Metals co-precipitate as oxyhydroxides, and they are also adsorbed on the organic matter surface. Down-stream the barrier, the total pollution removal is around 60-90% for Zn and Cu, and from 50 to 90% for Al and acidity.

  Keywords flying ash copper cyanide gold mine tailing ponds detoxification  
  Abstract 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.

  Title Adding sodium hydroxide to study metal removal in a stream affected by acid mine drainage Type Journal Article
  Year 1993 Publication Research Paper, US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 465 Issue 17 Pages  
  Keywords pH stream mine drainage remediation zinc copper sodium hydroxide USa Montana Beartooth Mountains Fisher Creek 3 Geology  
  Abstract Fisher Creek, a stream affected by acid mine drainage in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana, was studied to determine the extent to which copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) would be removed from stream water when pH was increased by a pulse of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Although the pH adjustment study indicated that precipitated Fe(OH) “SUB 3” (am) could rapidly remove Cu and Zn from a stream affected by acid mine drainage, the pH should be maintained in an optimal range (7 to 8.5) to maximize removal by adsorption. -from Authors
