Abstract The use of constructed wetlands for acid mine drainage amelioration has become a popular alternative to conventional treatment methods, however, the metal attenuation processes of these systems are poorly understood. Precipitates from biotic and abiotic zones of a staged constructed wetland treating high metal load (approx. equal to 1000 mg L (super -1) ) and low pH (approx. 3.0) acid mine drainage were characterized by chemical dissolution, x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Characterization of abiotic/aerobic zones within the treatment system suggest the presence of crystalline iron oxides and hydroxides such as hematite, lepidocrocite, goethite, and jarosite. At the air/water interface of initial abiotic treatment zones, SO (sub 4) /Fe ratios were low enough (<2.0) for the formation of jarosite and goethite, but as the ratio increased due to treatment and subsequent reductions in iron concentration, jarosite was transformed to other Fe-oxyhydroxysulfates and goethite formation was inhibited. In addition, elevated pH conditions occurring in the later stages of treatment promoted the formation of amorphous iron oxyhydroxides. Biotic wetland cell substrate characterizations suggest the presence of amorphous iron minerals such as ferrihydrite and Fe(OH) (sub 3) . Apparently, high Fe (super 3+) activity, low Eh and low oxygen diffusion rates in the anaerobic subsurface environment inhibit the kinetics of crystalline iron precipitation. Some goethite, lepidocrocite and hematite, however, were observed near the surface in biotic areas and are most likely attributable to increased oxygen levels from surface aeration and/or oxygen transport by plant roots. Alkalinity generation from limestone dissolution within the substrate and bacterially mediated sulfate reduction also has a significant role on the mineral retention process. The formation of gypsum, rhodochrocite and siderite are by-products of alkalinity generating reactions in this system and may have an impact on S, Mn, and Fe solubility controls. Moreover, the buffering of acidity through excess alkalinity appears to facilitate the precipitation and retention of metals within the system.

Title Performance of a nanofiltration plant on hard and highly sulphated water during two years of operation Type Journal Article
Year 1997 Publication Desalination Abbreviated Journal
Volume 113 Issue 2-3 Pages 277-281
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract A highly sulphated, hard water from a flooded iron mine was treated by nanofiltration for the production of drinking water (125 m(3)/h). This paper introduces the context and summarizes the configuration and operating conditions of the plant. The process performance in terms of product water quality and permeability during the first 2 years is presented and discussed.

Volume 2 Issue 4 Pages 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.

Abstract Im lothringischen Steinkohlenbergbau werden bis 3 m(exp 3)/min Wasser bei den Gewinnungsarbeiten zur Staubbekämpfung benötigt, die anschließend einer mehrstufigen Wasseraufbereitung zugeführt werden müssen. Die Abscheidung der Feststoffe aus dem Grubenwasser erfolgt teilweise in der Nähe der Gewinnungsbereiche in untertägigen Absetzbecken. Die dort anfallenden Schlämme werden in Zyklonieranlagen entwässert und als Versatzmaterial verwendet. Die so gereinigten Wässer werden der Hauptwasserhaltung zugeführt. In den meisten Fällen ist eine derartige Reinigung der Abwässer im Vorortbereich jedoch nicht möglich, und die mit Feststoffen belasteten Wässer müssen dann durch Schlammpumpen (leistungsfähige Kolbenpumpen) zu zentralen untertägigen Absetzbecken gefördert werden, wo sich die Schlämme absetzen und die geklärten Wässer der Wasserhaltung zugeführt werden. Es werden die unterschiedlichen Verfahren zur Behandlung der Schlämme aus den Absetzbecken beschrieben. Im Rahmen einer Rekonstruktion wurden die ursprünglich vorhandenen 43 Kreiselpumpen zur Schlammförderung (installierte Leistung von 2365 kW) durch 3 leistungsfähige Kolbenpumpen (installierte Leistung 960 kW) ersetzt, was sich günstig auf die Kosten auswirkte. Die von der Hauptwasserhaltung gehobenen Grubenwässer werden im Übertagebereich nochmals in Absetzbecken geklärt bzw. in einer neuen Zyklonanlage gereinigt.
