Title Use of Steel Slag Leach Beds for the Treatment of Acid Mine Drainage Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Mine Water Env. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 21 Issue 2 Pages 91-99
Keywords acid mine drainage Beaver Creek check dam leach beds leaching metal sequestration mine water leaching procedure open limestone channel steel slag West Virginia
Abstract Steel slag from the Waylite steel-making plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania was leached with acidic mine drainage (AMD) of a known quality using an established laboratory procedure. Leaching continued for 60 cycles and leachates were collected after each cycle. Results indicated that the slag was very effective at neutralizing acidity. The AMD/slag leachates contained higher average concentrations of Ba, V, Mn, Cr, As, Ag, and Se and lower average concentrations of Sb, Fe, Zn, Be, Cd, Tl, Ni, Al, Cu, and Pb than the untreated AMD. Based on these tests, slag leach beds were constructed at the abandoned McCarty mine site in Preston County, West Virginia. The leach beds were constructed as slag check dams below limestone-lined settling basins. Acid water was captured in limestone channels and directed into basins to leach through the slag dams and discharge into a tributary of Beaver Creek. Since installation in October 2000, the system has been consistently producing net alkaline, pH 9 water. The treated water is still net alkaline and has a neutral pH after it encounters several other acidic seeps downstream.

Title Groundwater Remediation in the Stráz Leaching Operation Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Mine Water Env. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 20 Issue 4 Pages 158-167
Keywords Contamination Czech Republic groundwater in situ leaching remediation
Abstract An area of the Czech Republic in the northeastern part of the Ceská Lípa district has been affected by “in situ” chemical mining of uranium. The risks associated with the contaminants have been assessed and a complex groundwater remediation project has been generated. The remediation alternatives for both the Cenomanian and Turonian aquifers are presented, relative to time requirements, economics, ecological considerations and the elimination of unacceptable risks for the population and environment. Finally, the present progress of remediation and a concept of what is necessary to complete remediation are presented.
