Abstract A system of planted and implanted small-scale SSF (subsurface flow) and SF (surface flow) constructed wetlands together with HP (hydroponic systems) were installed to compare the removal efficiencies of Fe and Zn from AMD (acid mine drainage) under long-term field conditions. Maximum removal of 94 % – 97 % (116 mg/m(exp 2)/d – 142 mg/m(exp 2)/d) for Fe and 69 % – 77 % (6.2 mg/m(exp 2)/d – 7.9 mg/m(exp 2)/d) for Zn was calculated for the planted soil systems. The planted SSF was most sensitive to heavy rain fall. Short-term increases of the metal concentration in the outflows, short-term breakdowns of the Fe removal and continual long-term breakdowns of the Zn removal were observed. In contrast to Zn removal, all wetland types are applicable for Fe removal with maximum removal in the range of 60 % – 98 %. Most of the removed Fe and Zn was transformed and deposited inside the soil bed. The amount absorbed by the plants (0.03 % to 0.3 %) and gravel-associated soil beds (0.03 % to 1.7 %) of the total input were low for both metals. The response of the planted SSF to rainfall suggests a remobilisation of metals accumulated inside the rhizosphere and the importance of buffering effects of the surface water layers of SF systems. The importance of plants for metal removal was shown.

Title Bioremediation method could cut cost of treating acid rock drainage Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication (down) Civil Engineering Abbreviated Journal
Volume 76 Issue 7 Pages 30-31
Keywords Pollution and waste management non radioactive geological abstracts: environmental geology (72 14 2) bioremediation cost benefit analysis water treatment acid mine drainage pollutant removal lake water heavy metal Lawrence County South Dakota South Dakota United States North America
Abstract The Gilt Edge Mine in South Dakota's Lawrence County was a gold mine that was abandoned later when its recent owner went bankrupt. Seeking a cost-effective method for treating millions of gallons of acid rock drainage (ARD), CDM partnered with Green World Science, Inc. (GWS) of Boise, Idaho, for the development of an in situ bioremediation process that can be used to remove metals from pit lake water. Recent testing revealed that the in situ bioremediation method can successfully remove metals from highly acidic water without the need to construct costly water treatment facilities.

Title Biostimulation and bioaugmentation enhances aerobic biodegradation of dichloroethenes Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication (down) Chemosphere Abbreviated Journal
Volume 63 Issue 4 Pages 600-608
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract The accumulation of dichloroethenes (DCEs) as dominant products of microbial reductive dechlorination activity in soil and water represent a significant obstacle to the application of bioremediation as a remedial option for chloroethenes in many contaminated systems. In this study, the effects of biostimulation and/or bioaugmentation on the biodegradation of cis- and trans-DCE in soil and water samples collected from contaminated sites in South Africa were evaluated in order to deter-mine the possible bioremediation option for these compounds in the contaminated sites. Results from this study indicate that cis- and trans-DCE were readily degraded to varying degrees by natural microbial populations in all the soil and water samples tested, with up to 44% of cis-DCE and 41% of trans-DCE degraded in the untreated soil and water samples in two weeks. The degradation rate constants ranged significantly (P < 0.05) between 0.0938 and 0.560 wk(-1) and 0.182 and 0.401 wk(-1), for cis- and trans-DCE, respectively, for the various treatments employed. A combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation significantly increased the biodegradation of both compounds within two weeks; 14% for cis-DCE and 18% for trans-DCE degradation, above those observed in untreated soil and water samples. These findings support the use of a combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation for the efficient biodegradation of these compounds in contaminated soil and water. In addition, the results clearly demonstrate that while naturally occurring microorganisms are capable of aerobic biodegradation of cis- and trans-DCE, biotransformation may be affected by several factors, including isomer structure, soil type, and the amount of nutrients available in the water and soil.

Title Limestone fluidized bed treatment of acid-impacted water at the Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery, Maine, USA Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication (down) Aquacultural Engineering Abbreviated Journal
Volume 34 Issue 2 Pages 61-71
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract Decades of atmospheric acid deposition have resulted in widespread lake and river acidification in the northeastern U.S. Biological effects of acidification include increased mortality of sensitive aquatic species Such as the endangered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a limestone-based fluidized bed system for the treatment of acid-impacted waters. The treatment system was tested at the Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery in East Orland, Maine over a period of 3 years. The product water from the treatment system was diluted with hatchery water to prepare water supplies with three different levels of alkalinity for testing of fish health and Survival. Based on positive results from a prototype system used in the first year of the study, a larger demonstration system was used in the second and third years with the objective of decreasing operating costs. Carbon dioxide was used to accelerate limestone dissolution, and was the major factor in system performance, as evidenced by the model result: Alk = 72.84 X P(CO2)(1/2); R-2 = 0.975. No significant acidic incursions were noted for the control water over the course of the Study. Had these incursions occurred, survivability in the untreated water would likely have been much more severely impacted. Treated water consistently provided elevated alkalinity and pH above that of the hatchery source water. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Title An Apatite II permeable reactive barrier to remediate groundwater containing Zn, Pb and Cd Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication (down) Appl. Geochem. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 21 Issue 12 Pages 2188-2200
Keywords Pollution and waste management non radioactive Groundwater quality apatite groundwater remediation zinc lead cadmium acid mine drainage copper sulfate nitrate permeability water treatment precipitation chemistry
Abstract Phosphate-induced metal stabilization involving the reactive medium Apatite II(TM) [Ca10-xNax(PO4)6-x(CO3)x(OH)2], where x < 1, was used in a subsurface permeable reactive barrier (PRB) to treat acid mine drainage in a shallow alluvial groundwater containing elevated concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu, SO4 and NO3. The groundwater is treated in situ before it enters the East Fork of Ninemile Creek, a tributary to the Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho. Microbially mediated SO4 reduction and the subsequent precipitation of sphalerite [ZnS] is the primary mechanism occurring for immobilization of Zn and Cd. Precipitation of pyromorphite [Pb10(PO4)6(OH,Cl)2] is the most likely mechanism for immobilization of Pb. Precipitation is occurring directly on the original Apatite II. The emplaced PRB has been operating successfully since January of 2001, and has reduced the concentrations of Cd and Pb to below detection (2 μg L-1), has reduced Zn to near background in this region (about 100 μg L-1), and has reduced SO4 by between 100 and 200 mg L-1 and NO3 to below detection (50 μg L-1). The PRB, filled with 90 tonnes of Apatite II, has removed about 4550 kg of Zn, 91 kg of Pb and 45 kg of Cd, but 90% of the immobilization is occurring in the first 20% of the barrier, wherein the reactive media now contain up to 25 wt% Zn. Field observations indicate that about 30% of the Apatite II material is spent (consumed).
