Title Constructed vertical flow aerated wetlands Type RPT
Year 1994 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords acid mine drainage; aeration; Butte Montana; carbonate rocks; case studies; clastic sediments; Clear Creek County Colorado; Colorado; construction; controls; fluid dynamics; gravel; heavy metals; Idaho Springs Colorado; limestone; Montana; pollution; rates; sedimentary rocks; sediments; Silver Bow County Montana; substrates; tailings; United States; waste water; water; water management; water quality; water treatment; wetlands 22, Environmental geology
Abstract In the report, wetland technology is described in which the main reactive layer is limestone gravel (rather than organic material) which is overlain by a fine gravel filter and soil. The three-year project included laboratory and field studies. Vertical aerated wetlands, simulated by columns, constructed in the field and in the laboratory, were operated during the project. The report presents a summary of results given in previous reports and summaries of results obtained using water from Butte, MT, and field studies at the Rockford Tunnel, near Idaho Springs, CO.

Title Moznosti upravy kysleho banskeho vytoku loziska Banska Stiavnica-Sobov. Remediation of acid mine drainage from Sobov Mine, Banska Stiavnica Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Mineralia Slovaca Abbreviated Journal
Volume 33 Issue 1 Pages 53-60
Keywords acid mine drainage aluminum Banska Stiavnica Slovakia Central Europe copper Eh Europe gangue heavy metals iron manganese metals metamorphic rocks oxidation pH pollution precipitation pyrite quartzites reduction remediation Slovakia Sobov Mine sulfides vegetation waste disposal wetlands 22, Environmental geology
Abstract A waste dump formed during the exploitation of quartzite deposit in Sobov mine (Slovakia) produces large quantity of acid mine drainage (AMD) which is mainly a product of pyrite oxidation. Sulphuric acid--the most aggressive oxidation product--attacks gangue minerals, mainly clays, as well. This process lead to a sharp decrease of the pH values (2-2.5) and increase of Fe, Al and SO (super 2-) (sub 4) contents (TDS = 20-30 mg/1). Passive treatment system was designed to remediate AMD. Chemical redox reactions along with microbial activity cause a precipitation of mobile contamination into a more stable forms. The sulphides are formed in the anaerobic cell, under reducing conditions. Fe-, Al- oxyhydroxides are precipitated in the aerobic part of the system. Precipitation decreases the Fe and Al contents along with immobilization of some heavy metal closely related to oxyhydroxides. Besides oxidation, the wetland vegetation is an active part of on aerobic cell. The system has been working effectively since September 1999. The pH values of outflowing water are apparently higher (6.2-6.8) and contents of dissolved elements (Fe from 2.260 to 4.1; Al from 900 to 0.18; Mn from 51 to 23; Cu from 4.95 to 0.03 mg/l) is significantly lowers.
