Abstract |
The technical knowledge and practical experience accumulated by industry and others in abating acid mine drainage (AMD) is being proactively applied at every phase of the mine life cycle. This paper traces the mine life cycle from exploration to post closure monitoring and maintenance, and reviews AMD abatement measures that have become an integral component of exploration and mining activities. Attention is increasingly being given to evaluating AMD potential as part of exploration work, and studies related to project feasibility and design. Mining, mineral processing and waste management options are selected taking into consideration their suitability to inhibit AMD. These inhibition measures are typically committed to in closure plans submitted at the permitting stage. Mines are operated and decommissioned, often progressively, as planned and in accordance with environmental protection policies. Es wird über das Problem der Säurebildung aus sulfidischen Aufbereitungsbergen und taubem Gestein im Verlauf des Existenzzyklus eines Bergwerkes berichtet. In Kanada werden seit etwa 10 Jahren intensive Forschungen für Vorhersage, Kontrolle und Eindämmung von Saürebildungen im Bergbau betrieben. Schwerpunkt ist dabei die sulfidische Oxidation (2FeS2 + 7O2 = 2FeSO4 + 2H2SO4) unter Einwirkung verschiedener physikalischer, geochemischer und biologischer Faktoren. Diese Reaktion führt zu einem Komplex weiterer chemischer Reaktionen unter Bildung von zusätzlicher Säure und Lösung von Metallen. Daraus ergeben sich zwei Hauptmöglichkeiten diesen Prozeß zu steuern: 1. die Sulfidoxidation verhindern, 2. den Oxidationsprozeß verlangsamen. Mit dem heutigen Wissensstand ist es möglich, das Säurebildungspotential von Aufbereitungsbergen zu bestimmen, den Prozeß der Sulfidoxidation von Mineralen unter bestimmten physikalischen, geochemischen und biologischen Bedingungen zu modellieren und die Säurebildung von Aufbereitungsbergen und sulfidischen Gesteinen einzudämmen. Im einzelnen werden Maßnahmen zur Bewertung des Säurebildungspotentials und zur Kontrolle und Reduzierung dieses Prozesses während der Existenzstadien Exploration, Durchführbarkeitsstudie und Genehmigung, Gewinnung und Stillegung eines Bergwerkes erläutert. An Beispielen wird gezeigt, daß bei rechtzeitgem Erkennen des Säurebildungspotentials in der Phase der Exploration Verfahren und Maßnahmen bezüglich Aufbereitung, Umgang mit Aufbereitungsbergen ausgewählt werden können. |

Abstract |
In temperate areas of abundant freshwater there is seldom an urgency to recycle. The statutory protection of inland waters for beneficial uses such as drinking, food processing and game fishing is requiring industries to choose recycling. A European success in this trend is a base metal mining/milling industry which, since 1977, is implementing hydraulic, hydrological, treatment and ecological studies with wastewaters and mine tailings. A model activity, located 50 km from Dublin is considered. Zinc and lead concentrates produced and exported to smelters ultimately yield approximately 194,000 t and 54,000 t of these respective metals (32 and 21 percent of European production). Water use as originally planned would have been approximately 6m(3)/t of ore milled. While ore milling increased by 25 percent to 8,500t/d in 1993, water use declined by 33 percent to 4m(3)/t. The components making up this reduction range from milling technology efficiency to greater recycling from the 165 ha tailings pond. Environmental standards, based on framework regulations originating in EU Directives, have been instrumental in achieving wastewater savings. A conclusion is the value of integrating water quantity, quality, recycling, storage, production and other factors early in project planning. Copyright (C) 1996 IAWQ.

Abstract |
The accumulation of dichloroethenes (DCEs) as dominant products of microbial reductive dechlorination activity in soil and water represent a significant obstacle to the application of bioremediation as a remedial option for chloroethenes in many contaminated systems. In this study, the effects of biostimulation and/or bioaugmentation on the biodegradation of cis- and trans-DCE in soil and water samples collected from contaminated sites in South Africa were evaluated in order to deter-mine the possible bioremediation option for these compounds in the contaminated sites. Results from this study indicate that cis- and trans-DCE were readily degraded to varying degrees by natural microbial populations in all the soil and water samples tested, with up to 44% of cis-DCE and 41% of trans-DCE degraded in the untreated soil and water samples in two weeks. The degradation rate constants ranged significantly (P < 0.05) between 0.0938 and 0.560 wk(-1) and 0.182 and 0.401 wk(-1), for cis- and trans-DCE, respectively, for the various treatments employed. A combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation significantly increased the biodegradation of both compounds within two weeks; 14% for cis-DCE and 18% for trans-DCE degradation, above those observed in untreated soil and water samples. These findings support the use of a combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation for the efficient biodegradation of these compounds in contaminated soil and water. In addition, the results clearly demonstrate that while naturally occurring microorganisms are capable of aerobic biodegradation of cis- and trans-DCE, biotransformation may be affected by several factors, including isomer structure, soil type, and the amount of nutrients available in the water and soil.

Abstract |
The `ferrite process' is an excellent method for treating waste water containing iron and arsenic, but cannot be directly applied to mine drainage where silicon and aluminum ions are present, because they strongly inhibit ferrite formation. As a result of the development of related technologies such as the elimination of silicon, the concentration of iron, and the oxidation of ferrous ions using iron-oxidation bacteria, a new ferrite formation process has been developed and applied to the mine drainage of the Matsuo Mine. The paper discusses the application of the ferrite sludge to magnetic marking materials, magnetic fluid for metal separation and recovery, and the semiactive magnetic damper is described. The related technologies which will be expected to play an important role in solving the environmental problems are also described. These technologies will change the ferrite sludge to beneficial materials, which can be used for carbon dioxide decomposing catalysts, reuse of dry batteries, fish gathering blocks, and cement tracer for ground improvement |
