Title Recent technology related to the treatment of acid drainage Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication Earth and Mineral Sciences Abbreviated Journal
Volume 63 Issue 3 Pages 53-55
Keywords acid mine drainage coal mine remediation passive treatment 3 Geology
Abstract The generation of acid mine drainage is a serious environmental problem associated with coal mining. The chemistry of acid mine drainage is outlined. The prevention and minimization of acid mine drainage formation is examined. The in situ inhibition and remediation of acid mine drainage is described. Methods for the passive treatment of acid mine drainage after formation are discussed. The design of treatment systems is considered. -P.M.Taylor

Title Heavy-metal sludges as smelter feedstock Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication Engineering and Mining Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume 195 Issue 9 Pages 25-30
Keywords Metals Mining Groundwater Pollution USA Colorado California Gulch 3 Geology
Abstract Many industries produce a waste-water stream high in heavy metals. Disposal of sludge from these wastewater treatment plants has become increasingly difficult and expensive in the US due to passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act's 'land disposal ban' for hazardous wastes. Innovative methods can be found for dealing with such wastes. For example, in performing a mandated clean-up under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Asarco's California Gulch water-treatment plant in Colorado meets CERCLA clean-up goals while using a waste water treatment sludge as a smelter feedstock, recovering incidental saleable metals, and producing non-hazardous products. In this plant, Asarco treats acidic mine-drainage water having high metal concentrations and uses the waste sludge generated as a lime replacement in lead smelting operations. -Author

Title The Golden Cross Mine water management system Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication New Zealand Mining Abbreviated Journal
Volume 14 Issue Pages 15-21
Keywords Australasia Coromandel Peninsula cyanides gold ores Golden Cross Mine metal ores mines New Zealand North Island tailings Waihi New Zealand waste water water management water treatment 30, Engineering geology
Abstract Because of its location in the sensitive Coromandel Peninsula, strict water management and environmental requirements had to be met on the Golden Cross Mine Project. This led to the development of new technologies for cyanide recovery and the adoption of advanced water management and water treatment systems. This paper discusses the water management and treatment system adopted for contaminated water at Golden Cross. While permit discharge levels must be and are met for mine discharge waters, the ultimate success of the water management system is demonstrated by the results downstream; biological surveys show no changes to the resident aquatic life in the river.
