Title Passive mine water treatment as an alternative to active systems Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Grundwasser Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7 Issue 2 Pages (down) 67-77
Keywords Groundwater quality geographical abstracts: physical geography hydrology (71 6 11) water treatment groundwater pollution water quality mine
Abstract For the treatment of contaminated mine waters reliable treatment methods with low investment and operational costs are essential. Therefore, passive treatment systems recently have been installed in Great Britain and in Germany (e.g. anoxic limestone drains, constructed wetlands, reactive barriers, roughing filters) and during the last eight years such systems successfully treated mine waters, using up to 6 ha of space. In some cases with highly contaminated mine water, a combination of active and passive systems should be applied, as in any case the water quality has to reach the limits. Because not all the processes of passive treatment systems are understood in detail, current research projects (e.g. EU-project PIRAMID) were established to clarify open questions.

Title Retention of harmful elements by ochreous precipitates of iron Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Tutkimusraportti Geologian Tutkimuskeskus Abbreviated Journal
Volume - Issue 154 Pages (down) 30-33
Keywords Surface water quality Pollution and waste management non radioactive geographical abstracts: physical geography hydrology (71 6 9) geological abstracts: environmental geology (72 14 2) iron oxide precipitation chemistry sulfate arsenate heavy metal pH water pollution remediation
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.

Title Minewater treatment using wetlands Type Journal Article
Year 1997 Publication Water and Environment Manager Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue 4 Pages (down) 11
Keywords Wetlands and estuaries geographical abstracts: physical geography hydrology (71 6 8) wetlands mine drainage water treatment
Abstract Experiences gained by the UK Mining Industry and effluent treatment companies in theuse of wetlands for treating minewaters are discussed. Discharges from abandoned mines is a major cause of freshwater pollution in some regions. Key topics relating to the use of wetlands for minewater treatment will be discussed at a CIWEM conference in Newcastle on 5 September 1997.
