  Abstract Acid mine drainage (AMD) is the most serious environmental problem facing the Canadian mineral industry today. It results from oxidation of sulphide minerals (e.g. pyrite or pyrrhotite) contained in mine waste or mine tailings and is characterized by acid effluents rich in heavy metals that are released into the environment. A new acid remediation technology is presented, by which metallurgical residues from the aluminium extraction industry are used to construct permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) to treat acid mine effluents. This technology is very promising for treating acid mine effluents in order to decrease their harmful environmental effects

  Title Treatment of inorganic contaminants using permeable reactive barriers Type Journal Article
  Year 2000 Publication J Contam Hydrol Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 45 Issue 1-2 Pages 123-137  
  Keywords acid mine drainage; adsorption; agricultural waste; aquifers; chemical reactions; chromium; concentration; contaminant plumes; decontamination; disposal barriers; dissolved materials; drainage; ground water; heavy metals; metals; nitrate ion; nutrients; permeability; phosphate ion; pollution; pump-and-treat; remediation; sulfate ion; waste disposal; water treatment mine water treatment Remediation Groundwater Metals Nutrients Radionuclides  
  Abstract Permeable reactive barriers are an emerging alternative to traditional pump and treat systems for groundwater remediation. This technique has progressed rapidly over the past decade from laboratory bench-scale studies to full-scale implementation. Laboratory studies indicate the potential for treatment of a large number of inorganic contaminants, including As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Tc, U, V, NO3, PO4 and SO4. Small-scale field studies have demonstrated treatment of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, NO3, PO4 and SO4. Permeable reactive barriers composed of zero-valent iron have been used in full-scale installations for the treatment of Cr, U, and Tc. Solid-phase organic carbon in the form of municipal compost has been used to remove dissolved constituents associated with acid-mine drainage, including SO4, Fe, Ni, Co and Zn. Dissolved nutrients, including NO3 and PO4, have been removed from domestic septic-system effluent and agricultural drainage.

  Title Chemical precipitation of heavy metals from acid mine drainage Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Water Res Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 36 Issue 19 Pages 4757-4764  
  Keywords mine water treatment BDET Acid mine drainage Water treatment Remediation Heavy metals Chemical precipitation Mercury Iron  
  Abstract The 1,3-benzenediamidoethanethiol dianion (BDET, known commercially as MetX) has been developed to selectively and irreversibly bind soft heavy metals from aqueous solution. In the present study BDET was found to remove >90% of several toxic or problematic metals from AMD samples taken from an abandoned mine in Pikeville, Kentucky. The concentrations of metals such as iron, may be reduced at pH 4.5 from 194 ppm to below 0.009 ppm. The formation of stoichiomietric BDET-metal precipitates in this process was confirmed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and infrared spectroscopy (IR).
