  Title Geochemistry of a permeable reactive barrier for metals and acid mine drainage Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Environmental Science & Technology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 33 Issue 16 Pages 2793-2799  
  Keywords mine water treatment  
  Abstract A permeable reactive barrier, designed to remove metals and generate alkalinity by promoting sulfate reduction and metal sulfide precipitation, was installed in August 1995 into an aquifer containing effluent from mine tailings. Passage of groundwater through the barrier results in striking improvement in water quality. Dramatic changes in concentrations of SO4 (decrease of 2000-3000 mg/L), Fe (decrease of 270-1300 mg/L), trace metals (e.g., Ni decreases 30 mg/L), and alkalinity (increase of (800-2700 mg/L) are observed. Populations of sulfate reducing bacteria are 10 000 times greater, and bacterial activity, as measured by dehydrogenase activity, is 10 rimes higher within the barrier compared to the up-gradient aquifer. Dissolved sulfide concentrations increase by 0.2-120 mg/ L, and the isotope S-34 is enriched relative to S-32 in the dissolved phase SO42- within the barrier. Water chemistry, coupled with geochemical speciation modeling, indicates the pore water in the barrier becomes supersaturated with respect to amorphous Fe sulfide. Solid phase analysis of the reactive mixture indicates the accumulation of Fe monosulfide precipitates. Shifts in the saturation states of carbonate, sulfate, and sulfide minerals and most of the observed changes in water chemistry in the barrier and down-gradient aquifer can be attributed, either directly or indirectly, to bacterially mediated sulfate reduction.

  Title The treatment of a deposited lignite pyrolysis wastewater by adsorption using activated carbon and activated coke Type Journal Article
  Year 1998 Publication Colloids and Surfaces a-Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 139 Issue 1 Pages 91-97  
  Keywords mine water treatment  
  Abstract To study the functions of activated carbon and activated coke adsorption for the treatment of highly contaminated discolored industrial wastewater with a wide molecular size distribution of organic compounds, the deposited lignite pyrolysis wastewater from a filled open-cast coal mine was used for continuous and discontinuous experiments.

  Title Performance of a nanofiltration plant on hard and highly sulphated water during two years of operation Type Journal Article
  Year 1997 Publication Desalination Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 113 Issue 2-3 Pages 277-281  
  Keywords mine water treatment  
  Abstract A highly sulphated, hard water from a flooded iron mine was treated by nanofiltration for the production of drinking water (125 m(3)/h). This paper introduces the context and summarizes the configuration and operating conditions of the plant. The process performance in terms of product water quality and permeability during the first 2 years is presented and discussed.

  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 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.
