Abstract |
Diversion wells implement a fluidized bed of limestone for the treatment of acid water resulting from acid mine drainage or acid precipitation. This study was undertaken to better understand the operation of diversion wells and to define the physical and chemical factors having the greatest impact on the neutralization performance of the system. The study site was located near Lick Creek, a tributary stream of Babb Creek, near the Village of Arnot in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Investigative methods included collection and analysis of site water quality and limestone data and field study of this as well as other diversion well sites. Analysis of data led to these general conclusions: The site received surface water influenced by three primary sources 1) precipitation, 2) mine drainage baseflow, and 3) melted snow. Water mostly influenced by precipitation events and mine drainage baseflow was more acidic than water influenced by melting snow conditions. The diversion wells were generally able to treat only half or less of the total stream flow of Lick Creek and under extremely high flow conditions the treatment provided was minimal. A range of flow conditions were identified which produced the best performance for the two diversion wells. Treatment produced by the system decreased through the loading cycle and increases to a maximum value after each weekly refilling of limestone. Fine grained sediment in the stream was found to be limestone of the same general composition as the material placed within the wells. Neutralization of acid water was largely due to microscopic particles rather than the limestone sediment discharged to the stream. Additional downstream buffering due to the limestone sediment physically discharged from the vessels was not apparent. Diversion well systems are inexpensive and simple to construct. In addition, the systems were found to be highly reliable and able to effectively treat acid water resulting from mine drainage and acid precipitation. Diversion wells provide better treatment when the treatment site is located at the source of the acidity (such as a mine discharge), rather than at the receiving stream. Systems should be designed with 15 to 20 feet of hydraulic head and the site must have year-round access. Diversion well systems require weekly addition of limestone gravel to the vessels to facilitate continual treatment. A great deal of commitment is necessary to maintain a diversion well system for long periods of time. These systems are more economical and require less attention that conventional chemical treatment of acid water. However, these systems require more attention that traditional passive treatment methods for treatment of acid, including mine drainage. |

Abstract |
Bestimmte Wasserpflanzen in Teichen können Metalle aus sauren Grubenwässern binden durch Adsorption, Filtration und Einlagerung in Wurzeln und Blättern. Algen und oxydierende Bakterien unterstützen diesen Reinigungsprozeß. Angaben zur Anlage der Teiche: Durchflußkapazität 20 l/min bis 38 l/min, Spülung von 18 m(exp 2) pro 4 l Durchflußmenge, Wasserhöhe 5 cm bis 10 cm, der pH-Wert des austretenden Wassers ist größer als 4,0. |

Abstract |
The capability of soil fines to fix harmful elements, e.g. heavy metals and arsenic, depends on specific surface area and other characteristics, such as surface charge. In the pH-range typical of natural waters (pH 5,5-7,5), the surfaces of fine-grained silicate particles and manganese oxides are negatively charged; consequently cations, such as heavy metals, fix effectively to them. The iron oxide surfaces are usually positively charged and typically fix anions, such as sulphate and arsenate. Retention of anions is especially extensive to precipitates formed from acid mine drainage (pH 2,5-5,0). For example, precipitates found at Paroistenjarvi mine, Finland, contain more than 70 g/kg of arsenic (dry matter). Adsorbed anions, e.g. sulphate, enhance the capacity of precipitate to fix heavy metal cations in low-pH environments. |

Abstract |
In einem alten französischen Bergwerk, in dem früher Blei und Silber abgebaut wurden, kam es nach dem Wiederanstieg des Grundwassers zu einer erhöhten Schwermetallbelastung von Quellgebieten, die einen Fluß mit Forellenbesatz schädigten. Zur Beseitigung dieser Grundwasserverunreinigung wurde das saure Grubenwasser mit erhöhten Eisen- und Zinkgehalten übertage gefaßt und einer Wasseraufbereitung unterzogen. In der für einen Durchsatz von 100 m(exp 3)/h konzipierten Wasseraufbereitung wurden die Schadstoffbestandteile durch Oxidation und anschließende Neutralisation mit Kalk (Anhebung des pH-Wertes auf 8,2 bis 8,3) gefällt, durch Zugabe eines Flockungsmittels gebunden und die Schlammbestandteile anschließend einem Eindicker und Filterpressen zugeführt. Der Kalkverbrauch wird mit 240 kg/d angegeben. Die tabellarisch zusammengestellten Analysenergebnisse zeigen, daß die Wasseraufbereitung einen sehr guten Wirkungsgrad hatte. Neben einer Anhebung des pH-Wertes von 6,5 auf 8,2 konnten die Schwermetallgehalte bei Fe von 22 mg/l auf 0,09 mg/l und bei Zn von 38 mg/l auf 0,4 mg/l abgesenkt werden. |
