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 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 Renovation of a failed constructed wetland treating acid mine drainage Type Journal Article
Year 1999 Publication Environmental Geology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 39 Issue 1 Pages 39-50
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract Acid mine drainage (AMD) from abandoned underground mines significantly impairs water quality in the Tones Branch watershed in McCreary Co., Kentucky, USA. A 1022-m(2) surface-flow wetland was constructed in 1989 to reduce the I AMD effects, however, the system failed after six months due to insufficient utilization of the treatment area, inadequate alkalinity production and metal overloading. In an attempt to improve treatment efficiencies, a renovation project was designed incorporating two anoxic limestone drains (ALDs) and a series of anaerobic subsurface drains that promote vertical now or mine water through a successive alkalinity producing system (SAPS) of limestone beds overlain by organic compost. Analytical results from the 19-month post-renovation period are very encouraging. Mean iron concentrations have decreased from 787 to 39 mg l(-1), pH increased from 3.38 to 6.46 and acidity has been reduced from 2244 to 199 mg l(-1) (CaCO3 equivalent). Mass removal rates averaged 98% for Al, 95% for Fe, 94% for acidity, 55% for sulfate and 49% for Mn during the study period. The results indicate increased alkalinity production from limestone dissolution and longer residence time have contributed to sufficient buffering and metal retention. The combination of ALDs and SAPS technologies used in the renovation and the sequence in which they were implemented within the wetland system proved to be an adequate and very promising design for the treatment of this and other sources of high metal load AMD.
