Title Acid Mine Water Treatment using Engineered Wetlands Type Journal Article
Year 1990 Publication Int. J. Mine Water Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9 Issue 1-4 Pages 269-276
Keywords wetlands AMD passive treatment pollution control water treatment abandoned mines biological treatment pH bacterial oxidation wetland sizing sphagnum
Abstract 400 systems installed within 4 years During the last two decades, the United States mining industry has greatly increased the amount it spends on pollution control. The application of biotechnology to mine water can reduce the industry's water treatment costs (estimated at over a million dollars a day) and improve water quality in streams and rivers adversely affected by acidic mine water draining from abandoned mines. Biological treatment of mine waste water is typically conducted in a series of small excavated ponds that resemble, in a superficial way, a small marsh area. The ponds are engineered to first facilitate bacterial oxidation of iron; ideally, the water then flows through a composted organic substrate that supports a population of sulfate-reducing bacteria. The latter process raises the pH. During the past four years, over 400 wetland water treatment systems have been built on mined lands as a result of research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. In general, mine operators find that the wetlands reduce chemical treatment costs enough to repay the cost of wetland construction in less than a year. Actual rates of iron removal at field sites have been used to develop empirical sizing criteria based on iron loading and pH. If the pH is 6 or above, the wetland area (in2) required is equivalent to the iron. load (grams/day) divided by 10. Theis requirement doubles at a pH of 4 to 5. At a pH below 4, the iron load (grams/day) should be divided by 2 to estimate the area required (in2).

Title Pitfalls of passive mine water treatment Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Reviews in Environmental Science & Biotechnology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1 Issue 5 Pages 335-343
Keywords acid mine drainage acidophilic microorganisms heavy metals iron oxidation iron reduction remediation sulfate reduction wetlands Wheal Jane
Abstract Passive (wetland) treatment of waters draining abandoned and derelict mine sites has a number of detrac-tions. Detailed knowledge of many of the fundamental processes that dictate the performance and longevity of constructed systems is currently very limited and therefore more research effort is needed before passive treatment becomes an “off-the-shelf” technology.

Title Hydrogeochemistry and treatment of acid mine drainage in southern China Type Book Chapter
Year 1993 Publication Proceedings of the Annual National Meeting – American Society for Surface Mining and Reclamation, vol.10 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 277-283
Keywords acid mine drainage Asia bacteria chemical reactions China coal mines ecology Far East geochemistry hydrochemistry Jiangxi China lime mines oxidation pH pollution sulfides surface water trace elements water quality 22 Environmental geology 02B Hydrochemistry
Abstract Coal mines and various sulfide ore deposits are widely distributed in Southern China. Acid mine drainage associated with coal and metal sulfide deposits affects water quality in some mined areas of Southern China. Mining operations accelerate this natural deterioration of water quality by exposing greater surface areas of reactive minerals to the weathering effects of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Some approaches to reduce the effects of acid mine drainage on water quality are adopted, and they can be divided into two aspects: (a) Man-made control technology based on long-term monitoring of acid mine drainage; and, (b) Neutralization of acidity through the addition of lime. It is important that metals in the waste water are removed in the process of neutralization. A new method for calculating neutralization dosage is applied. It is demonstrated that the calculated value is approximately equal to the actual required value.
