Abstract: Im lothringischen Steinkohlenbergbau werden bis 3 m(exp 3)/min Wasser bei den Gewinnungsarbeiten zur Staubbekämpfung benötigt, die anschließend einer mehrstufigen Wasseraufbereitung zugeführt werden müssen. Die Abscheidung der Feststoffe aus dem Grubenwasser erfolgt teilweise in der Nähe der Gewinnungsbereiche in untertägigen Absetzbecken. Die dort anfallenden Schlämme werden in Zyklonieranlagen entwässert und als Versatzmaterial verwendet. Die so gereinigten Wässer werden der Hauptwasserhaltung zugeführt. In den meisten Fällen ist eine derartige Reinigung der Abwässer im Vorortbereich jedoch nicht möglich, und die mit Feststoffen belasteten Wässer müssen dann durch Schlammpumpen (leistungsfähige Kolbenpumpen) zu zentralen untertägigen Absetzbecken gefördert werden, wo sich die Schlämme absetzen und die geklärten Wässer der Wasserhaltung zugeführt werden. Es werden die unterschiedlichen Verfahren zur Behandlung der Schlämme aus den Absetzbecken beschrieben. Im Rahmen einer Rekonstruktion wurden die ursprünglich vorhandenen 43 Kreiselpumpen zur Schlammförderung (installierte Leistung von 2365 kW) durch 3 leistungsfähige Kolbenpumpen (installierte Leistung 960 kW) ersetzt, was sich günstig auf die Kosten auswirkte. Die von der Hauptwasserhaltung gehobenen Grubenwässer werden im Übertagebereich nochmals in Absetzbecken geklärt bzw. in einer neuen Zyklonanlage gereinigt.

Abstract: Treatment of radioactively-contaminated and metal-laden mine waters and of seepage fiom tailings ponds and waste rock piles is among the key issues facing WISMUT GmbH in their task to remediate the legacy of uranium mining and processing in the Free States of saxony and rhuringia, Federal Republic of Germany. Generally, contaminant loads of feed waters wn aimnisn over time. At a certain level of costs for the removal of one contaminant unit, continued operation of conventional water treatment plants can hardly be justified any longer. As treatment is still required for water protection, there is an urgent need for-the development and implementation of more cost efficient technologies. WISMUT GmbH and BioPlanta GmbH have studied the suitability of helophye species for contaminant removal from mine waters. In a fust step, original waters were used for an in vitro bioassay. The test results allowed for the determination of the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on helophy'tes'tolerancer ange, growth, and uptake capability of radionuclides and metals. Test series were carried out using Phiagmites australis, Carex disticha, Typha latifolia, and Juncus effusus. Relevant cont-aminant components of the mine waters under investigation included uraniunl iron, arsenic, manganese, nickel, and copper. Investigations led to a number of recommendations conceming plant selection for specific water treatment needs. In a second step, based on these results, a constructed wetland was built in l99g as a pilot plant for the treatment of flood waters liom the pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine and went on-line. Relevant constituents of the neutral flood waters include radium, iron, and arsenic. This wetland specifically uses both physico-chemical and microbiological processes as well as contaminant accumulation by helophytes to achieve the treatment objectives. with the pilot plant in operation for three years now, average removal rates achieved are 95 Yo for kon, 86 yo for arsenic, and 75 % for raäium. WISMUT GmbH intends to put a number of other projects of passive/biological mine water treatment into operation before the end of 2001_

Abstract: Contaminated water flowing from abandoned coal mines is one of the most significant contributors to water pollution in former and current coal-producing areas. Acid mine drainage (AMD) can have severe impacts to aquatic resources, can stunt terrestrial plant growth and harm wetlands, contaminate groundwater, raise water treatment costs, and damage concrete and metal structures. In the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States alone, more than 7,500 miles of streams are impacted. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission estimates that the economic losses on fisheries and recreational uses are approximately $67 million annually (ref). While most modern coal-mining operations (Figure 1) must meet strict environmental regulations concerning mining techniques and treatment practices, there are thousands of abandoned mine sites in the United States (Figure 2). Treatment of a single site can result in the restoration of several miles of impacted streams. The purpose of this document is to briefly summarize key issues related to AMD treatment. This document is intended as a brief overview; thus, it is neither inclusive nor exhaustive. The technical note presents the preliminary planning issues
