  Title Zeolites and their application in the decontamination of mine waste water Type Journal Article

  Volume 17 Issue 6 Pages 111-118  
  Keywords adsorption decontamination effluents industrial waste ion exchange metallurgical industries metallurgy mining mining industry porosity wastewater treatment zeolites zeolites decontamination mine waste water genesis porosity adsorption ionic exchange mineral metallurgical effluents mercury pollution artisan mining activities heavy metals removal metal mining effluents mercury vapors ovens fire amalgams Manufacturing and Production  
  Abstract This paper describes the genesis, structure and classification of natural zeolites, including their most relevant properties such as porosity, adsorption and ionic exchange. The use of natural zeolites in the treatment of effluents containing heavy metals is reviewed based on current literature. These uses are focused on mineral-metallurgical effluents and mercury pollution related to artisan mining activities. The study shows that natural zeolites are efficient in removal of heavy metals in metal mining effluents, can be produced and improved at a low cost, and can also be used to adsorb mercury vapors from ovens used to fire amalgams.

  Title Wetland Treatment for Trace-metal Removal from Mine Drainage – the Importance of Aerobic and Anaerobic Processes Type Journal Article
  Year 1994 Publication Water Sci. Technol. Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 29 Issue 4 Pages 249-256  
  Keywords copper cobalt nickel zinc ion exchange sulfate reduction adsorption acid mine drainage passive treatment  
  Abstract When designing wetland treatment systems for trace metal removal, both aerobic and anaerobic processes can be incorporated into the final design. Aerobic processes such as adsorption and ion exchange can successfully treat neutral drainage in overlandflow systems. Acid drainage can be treated in anaerobic systems as a result of sulfate reduction processes which neutralize pH and precipitate metals.Test work on both aerobic and anaerobic systems has been conducted in Minnesota. For the past three years, overland flow test systems have successfully removed copper, cobalt, nickel and zinc from neutral mine drainage. Nickel, which is the major contaminant, has been reduced around 90 percent from 2 mg/L to 0.2 mg/L. A sulfate reduction system has successfully treated acid mine drainage for two years, increasing pH from 5 to over 7 and reducing concentrations of all metals by over 90 percent.Important factors to consider when designing wetlands to remove trace metals include not only the type of wetlandrequired but also the size of the system and the residence time needed to achieve the water quality standards.

  Title Limestone drains to increase pH and remove dissolved metals from acidic mine drainage Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Appl. Geochem. Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 5 Pages 581-606  
  Keywords manganese oxide redox processes sulfate waters iron-oxides adsorption ions oxidation surfaces environments aluminum  
  Abstract Despite encrustation by Fe and Al hydroxides, limestone can be effective for remediation of acidic mine drainage (AMD). Samples of water and limestone (CaCO3) were collected periodically for 1 a at 3 identical limestone-filled drains in Pennsylvania to evaluate the attenuation of dissolved metals and the effects of pH and Fe- and Al-hydrolysis products on the rate of CaCO3 dissolution. The influent was acidic and relatively dilute (pH < 4; acidity < 90 mg) but contained 1-4 mg . L-1 of O-2, Fe3+, Al3+ and Mn2+. The total retention time in the oxic limestone drains (OLDs) ranged from 1.0 to 3.1 hr. Effluent remained oxic (O-2 > 1 mg . L-1) but was near neutral (pH = 6.2-7.0); Fe and Al decreased to less than 5% of influent concentrations. As pH increased near the inflow, hydrous Fe and Al oxides precipitated in the OLDs, The hydrous oxides, nominally Fe(OH)(3) and Al(OH)(3), were visible as loosely bound, orange-yellow coatings on limestone near the inflow. As time elapsed, Fe(OH)(3) and Al(OH)(3) particles were transported downflow. The accumulation of hydrous oxides and elevated pH (> 5) in the downflow part of the OLDs promoted sorption and coprecipitation of dissolved Mn, Cu, Co, Ni and Zn as indicated by decreased concentrations of the metals in effluent and their enrichment relative to Fe in hydrous-oxide particles and coatings on limestone. Despite thick (similar to 1 mm) hydrous-oxide coatings on limestone near the inflow, CaCO3 dissolution was more rapid near the inflow than at downflow points within and the OLD where the limestone was not coated. The high rates of CaCO3 dissolution and Fe(OH3) precipitation were associated with the relatively low pH and high Fe3+ concentration near the inflow. The rate of CaCO3 dissolution decreased with increased pH and concentrations of Ca2+ and HCO3- and decreased Pco(2). Because overall efficiency is increased by combining neutralization and hydrolysis reactions, an OLD followed by a settling pond requires less land area than needed for a two-stagetreatment system consisting of an anoxic limestone drain and oxidation-settling pond or wetland. To facilitate removal of hydrous-oxide sludge, a perforated-pipe subdrain can be installed within an OLD. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

  Title Nanofiltration für die Aufkonzentrierung von Kupfersulfat von Auslaugewässern und die Rückgewinnung von Schwefelsäure Type Conference Article
  Year 1997 Publication 6. Aachener Membran Kolloquium, Preprints, Aachen, DE, 3. 5. Mar, 1997 Abbreviated Journal

  Keywords Abwasserbehandlung Abraum Auslaugen=Mineralogie Ausfällung Membranfilter Adsorption Biomasse Konzentration Kupfer Porenweite Querströmung Schwermetalle Soda Investitionskosten Betriebskosten Kolonne=Apparat Pilotanlage Schwefelsäure Wiederverwertung Metallsalz Nanofiltration Kupfermine Biomassekolonne Entkrustungsmittel  
  Abstract In einem US-amerikanischen Minenbetrieb fallen bei der Auslaugung von Abraum zur Gewinnung von Restkupfer Abwässer an, die höhere Konzentrationen aufweisen als für Abwässer erlaubt ist. Eine bislang angewandte chemische Fällung erforderte erhebliche Kosten. Mit der Nanofiltration (NF), verbunden mit einer Biomasse-Adsorptionsstufe, erhält man ein weniger problematisches Abwasser, das direkt eingeleitet werden darf. Dieses Wasser kann im Betrieb sogar als Frischwasser dort eingesetzt werden, wo höhere Anteile an Silikaten toleriert werden können. Ein weiterer Vorteil der NF-Technik ist die Aufkonzentration der Metallsalze und die Rückgewinnung von Schwefelsäure. Kupfer liegt z.B. nach der ersten Stufe in solcher Konzentration vor, daß die Extraktionskapazität der existierenden Anlage stark erhöht wird. Die Nanofiltration ist ein Membranprozeß, bei dem Membranen mit Porengrößen von ca. 1 nm eingesetzt werden. Die Porengröße ist kleiner als bei Ultrafiltrationsverfahren und nur wenig größer als bei Umkehrosmosemembranen. Gearbeitet wird mit dem Prinzip der Queranströmung (Crossflow). Zur Entfernung der relativ geringen Anteile an Schwermetallen wird zusätzlich eine Biomasse-Kolonne eingesetzt. Beschrieben wird der Aufbau bzw. das Fließschema einer Pilotanlage. Untersuchungen mit dieser Anlage bestätigten die Wirksamkeit der NF- Abwasserbehandlung mit anschließender Adsorption an Biomasse. Die zugeführten Chemikalien bestehen lediglich aus relativ harmlosen Stoffen wie Entkrustungsmittel und Soda. Das Entkrustungsmittel wird benötigt, um Ablagerungen von Anorganika auf den Membranen zu verhindern. Das Soda neutralisiert das aufbereitete Wasser. Beide Chemikalien verhalten sich im Prozeß ansonsten neutral. Hauptsächliche Ausgaben entstehen für Kapitalkosten. Betriebskosten entstehen für den Membranersatz und die Energie. Die Versuchsresultate und Erkenntnisse aus den Versuchen konnten weitgehend für die Auslegung einer NF-Anlage in einer Kupfermine in Mexiko übernommen werden, die im Frühjahr 1997 in Betrieb genommen werden soll.
