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

Title Downstream effects of mine drainage on benthos and fish in a Norwegian river; a comparison of the situation before and after river rehabilitation Type Journal Article
Year 1995 Publication Heavy metal aspects of mining pollution and its remediation Abbreviated Journal
Volume 52 Issue Pages 35-43
Keywords Chordata copper Europe experimental studies fluvial environment Gaula River metals Norway Pisces pollutants pollution reclamation Scandinavia trace metals Vertebrata Western Europe zinc 22, Environmental geology
Abstract Parts of the Norwegian river Gaula are strongly polluted from former mining activity in the area. In the most polluted parts of the river the concentration levels of Cu and Zn in 1986-1987 were up to 155 mu g l (super -1) and 186 mu g l (super -1) , respectively. In 1989 the spoil heaps in the mining area were covered with protective layers of moss-covered plastic. In 1991-1992 the concentration levels of Cu and Zn had decreased by 75% and 65%, respectively. Animal life in the polluted area seemed to be strongly affected by the trace metals in 1986-1987. The 1991-1992 results showed a marked increase in the number of species and in the number of individuals of each species of Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera, compared with the results from 1986-87. Good correlations were found between the concentrations of Cu in the water and both the number of species and the number of individuals of Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera. Analysis of the species Baetis rhodani, Diura nanseni and Rhyacophila nubila showed an average total dry weight content of Cu up to 264 mu g g (super -1) , of Zn up to 1930 mu g g (super -1) and of Cd up to 16 mu g g (super -1) . The contents of the three trace metals were significantly different from one species to another and in part between the stations for each species. In 1987 trout died after an exposure of one to two days on three test sites in the river, whereas in 1991-1992 40-75% of the trout survived an exposure period of several weeks at two of the sites. Electrofishing in 1991-1992 indicated recolonization of trout in the lower parts of the former affected and uninhabitable area.

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 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.
