Title Water management during the Pinto Valley removal action Type Conference Article

Abstract Der Bruch des Dammes einer Halde der Grube Nr. 14 des Kupfer- Bergbaubetriebes Pinto Valley in Arizona, USA, im Jahre 1997 führte zum Eintrag von 370000 yd(exp 3) Bergematerials und Tailings in das Bett des Flusses Pinto Creek, USA, wodurch letzteres blockiert wurde. Der Vorfall ereignete sich in bergigem Gelände unterhalb eines 14 Quadratmeilen großen Abschnittes des Flusseinzugsgebietes oberhalb des Sees Roosevelt Lake, USA, einer Trinkwasserquelle für Phoenix, USA. Aufgrund der Bedeutung des Gebietes wurde eine Strategie zur Verhütung weiterer Beeinträchtigungen der Wasserqualität ausgearbeitet. Diese beinhaltete Managementaspekte zur Gewährleistung einer schnellen Planung und Ausführung der notwendigen Arbeiten gekoppelt mit der Planung, dem Bau und dem Betrieb von Rückhalte und Umleitungssystemen für auftretende Wässer. Die Auslegung dieser Systeme erfolgte auf der Grundlage der Daten des Einzugsgebietes und der klimatischen Verhältnisse, wobei verschiedene Wahrscheinlichkeiten der Überschreitung der ermittelten Werte berücksichtigt wurden. Innerhalb von acht Monaten konnten die Tailings aus dem betroffenen Gebiet entfernt werden, ohne dass belastete Oberflächenwässer freigesetzt wurden.

Title Reduction of leachability of heavy metals in acid mine drainage Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication J. Environ. Sci. Health Part A Environ. Sci. Eng. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 29 Issue 2 Pages 371-388
Keywords 1 Geography
Abstract The leaching characteristics of sludges from the treatment of acid mine drainage(AMD) from Iron Mountain Mine near Redding, California were compared using two different processes: caustic soda treatment and a modified lime/sulfide treatment process. The modified lime/sulfide process produced a sludge with better dewaterability characteristics than sludge from the caustic soda process. The results of the Cal WET indicated that the modified lime/sulfide process sludge had less leachability than that of sludge from the caustic soda process. Both processes could achieve a substantial reduction of heavy metals in leachate to levels below the federal regulatory limits(TCLP). For cadmium and zinc, however, neither process produced a sludge that met the requirements of the Cal WET procedure.

Title Moznosti upravy kysleho banskeho vytoku loziska Banska Stiavnica-Sobov. Remediation of acid mine drainage from Sobov Mine, Banska Stiavnica Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Mineralia Slovaca Abbreviated Journal
Volume 33 Issue 1 Pages 53-60

Abstract A waste dump formed during the exploitation of quartzite deposit in Sobov mine (Slovakia) produces large quantity of acid mine drainage (AMD) which is mainly a product of pyrite oxidation. Sulphuric acid--the most aggressive oxidation product--attacks gangue minerals, mainly clays, as well. This process lead to a sharp decrease of the pH values (2-2.5) and increase of Fe, Al and SO (super 2-) (sub 4) contents (TDS = 20-30 mg/1). Passive treatment system was designed to remediate AMD. Chemical redox reactions along with microbial activity cause a precipitation of mobile contamination into a more stable forms. The sulphides are formed in the anaerobic cell, under reducing conditions. Fe-, Al- oxyhydroxides are precipitated in the aerobic part of the system. Precipitation decreases the Fe and Al contents along with immobilization of some heavy metal closely related to oxyhydroxides. Besides oxidation, the wetland vegetation is an active part of on aerobic cell. The system has been working effectively since September 1999. The pH values of outflowing water are apparently higher (6.2-6.8) and contents of dissolved elements (Fe from 2.260 to 4.1; Al from 900 to 0.18; Mn from 51 to 23; Cu from 4.95 to 0.03 mg/l) is significantly lowers.
