Title Reactive barrier treatment of groundwater contaminated by acid mine drainage; sulphur accumulation and sulphide formation Type Book Chapter
Year 1998 Publication Groundwater Quality: Remediation and Protection Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue (up) Pages 451-457
Keywords acid mine drainage Canada chemical analysis contaminant plumes Eastern Canada ground water hydraulic conductivity hydrolysis Nickel Rim Mine Ontario pH pollution porosity pyrrhotite remediation sample preparation Sudbury Basin sulfides sulfur tailings water pollution 22, Environmental geology
Abstract A permeable reactive barrier was installed in August 1995 at the Nickel Rim Mine near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, for the passive remediation of groundwater contaminated with acid mine drainage. The reactive component of the barrier consists of a mixture of municipal and leaf compost and wood chips: the organic material promotes bacterially-mediated sulphate reduction. Hydrogen sulphide, a product of sulphate reduction, may then complex with aqueous ferrous iron and precipitate as iron sulphide. This study presents the solid phase sulphur chemistry of the reactive wall after two years of operation, and discusses the formation and accumulation of iron sulphide minerals in the reactive material. The results from the solid-phase chemical analysis of core samples indicate that there is an accumulation of reduced inorganic sulphur in the reactive wall, with levels reaching 190 mu mol g (super -1) (dry weight) by July 1997.

Title Utilization of a ceramic membrane for acid mine drainage treatment Type Journal Article
Year 1997 Publication Tailings and Mine Waste '97 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue (up) Pages 453-460
Keywords acid mine drainage; Black Hawk Colorado; Central City Colorado; ceramic materials; Colorado; cost; disposal barriers; geochemistry; Gilpin County Colorado; heavy metals; mines; organic compounds; pollution; remediation; surface water; tailings; United States; utilization; volatile organic compounds; volatiles; waste disposal mine water treatment
Abstract BASX Systems LLC has developed a treatment system based on ceramic membranes for the removal of heavy metals from an acid mine drainage stream. This stream also contained volatile organic compounds that were required to be removed prior to discharge to a Colorado mountain stream. The removal of heavy metals was greater than 99% in most cases. A decrease of 30% in chemicals required for treatment and a reduction by more than 75% in labor over a competing technology were achieved. These decreases were obtained for operating temperatures of less than 5 degrees C. This system of ceramic microfiltration is capable of treating many different types of acid mine waste streams for heavy metals removal.
