Title (up) Microbial sulfate reduction under sequentially acidic conditions in an upflow anaerobic packed bed bioreactor Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Water Research Abbreviated Journal
Volume 40 Issue 13 Pages 2561-2571
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract The aim of this study was to operate an upflow anaerobic packed bed reactor (UAPB) containing sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) under acidic conditions similar to those found in acid mine drainage (AMD). The UAPB was filled with sand and operated under continuous flow at progressively lower pH and was shown to be capable of supporting sulfate reduction at pH values of 6.0, 5.0, 4.5, 4.0 and 3.5 in a synthetic medium containing 53.5 mmol l(-1) lactate. Sulfate reduction rates of 553-1052 mmol m(-3) d(-1) were obtained when the influent solution pH was progressively lowered from pH 6.0 to 4.0, under an optimal flow rate of 2.61 ml min(-1). When the influent pH was further lowered to pH 3.5, sulfate reduction was substantially reduced with only about 1% sulfate removed at a rate of 3.35 mmol m(-3) d(-1) after 20 days of operation. However, viable SRB were recovered from the column, indicating that the SRB population was capable of surviving and metabolizing at low levels even at pH 3.5 conditions for at least 20 days. The changes in conductivity in the SRB column did not always occur with changes in pH and redox potential, suggesting that conductivity measurements may be more sensitive to SRB activity and could be used as an additional tool for monitoring SRB activity. The bioreactor containing SRB was able to reduce sulfate and generate alkalinity even when challenged with influent as low as pH 3.5, indicating that such treatment systems have potential for bioremediating highly acidic, sulfate contaminated waste waters.

Keywords Wasserbehandlung AMD Acidic Mine Drainage In-situ-Laugung ISL Tagebaurestsee
Abstract Aktuelle Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der aktiven Wasserbehandlung im Bergbau in den spezifischen Anwendungsgebieten • Behandlung von sauren Bergbauwässern (AMD – acidic mine drainage) mit Schwerpunkt HDS-Technologie (HDS – high-density sludge) • In-situ-Behandlung bergbaubeeinflusster Grundwasserkörper, insbesondere nach Anwendung der In-situ-Laugung (ISL) • In-situ-Behandlung von Tagebaurestseen mit Schwerpunkt In-lake-Verfahren werden hinsichtlich Machbarkeit, technologischer Kenngrößen und Effizienz bewertet und kommen-tiert. Recent developments in the field of active water treatment technologies in the mining sector are re-viewed. Application areas of interest include • Treatment of acidic mine drainage (AMD) emphasizing HDS technology (HDS – high-density sludge) • In-situ treatment of groundwater affected by mining, in particular after the application of in-situ leaching (ISL) • In-situ treatment of lakes arising in former open-pit lignite mines, in particular the application of in-lake methods The various applications are evaluated with regard to feasibility, technical characteristics and treat-ment efficiency.

Title (up) Post closure management of the Mt Leyshon Gold Mine – Water the integrator Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Water in Mining 2006, Proceedings Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 233-242
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract Mining at the Mt Leyshon Gold Mine in semi-arid north Queensland stopped in 2002. Newmont Australia has recently initiated a thorough post-closure water management study of the site by revisiting the existing information and conducting new water-related investigations. The focus of this paper. which is the first publication on post-closure environmental management of the site. is an overview of the site water quality in view of the sources and spatial distribution of polluted mine water, and also the performance of cover systems in controlling water flux though mine wastes.

Title (up) Removal and recovery of metal ions from acid mine drainage using lignite-A low cost sorbent Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication J. Hazard. Mater. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 137 Issue 3 Pages 1545-1553
Keywords Geobase: Related Topics geobase: related topics (901) acid mine drainage adsorption ion iron sulfide lignite wastewater water treatment
Abstract Acid mine drainage (AMD), has long been a significant environmental problem resulting from the microbial oxidation of iron pyrite in presence of water and air, affording an acidic solution that contains toxic metal ions. The main objective of this study was to remove and recover metal ions from acid mine drainage (AMD) by using lignite, a low cost sorbent. Lignite has been characterized and used for the AMD treatment. Sorption of ferrous, ferric, manganese, zinc and calcium in multi-component aqueous systems was investigated. Studies were performed at different pH to find optimum pH. To simulate industrial conditions for acid mine wastewater treatment, all the studies were performed using single and multi-columns setup in down flow mode. The empty bed contact time (EBCT) model was used for minimizing the sorbent usage. Recovery of the metal ions as well as regeneration of sorbent was achieved successfully using 0.1 M nitric acid without dismantling the columns. < copyright > 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
