Title Reclamation and Decontamination of Metalliferous Mining Tailings Type Journal Article
Year (up) 1990 Publication Int. J. Mine Water Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9 Issue 1-4 Pages 223-235
Keywords Britain tailings metals land reclamation environmental damage ground water surface water Wales treatment options
Abstract Parts of Britain have large accumulations of metalliferous tailings derived from mining in the lath, 19th and 20th centuries. These tailings were never subject to land reclamation schemes at the time of mining and are situated very close to water courses. They cause considerable environmental damage in terms of contamination of soils, dust blow and pollution of water courses and groundwater. In some parts of the country mine drainage is a major part of river pollution. In recent years, particularly in Wales, efforts have been made to “clean up” these sites. This has involved using techniques to isolate and contain the spoil, diversion of water courses, and the installation of water treatment facilities and drainage and the establishment of a vegetation cover. Research is also being initiated to investigate ways of decontaminating these metalliferous spoils as an alternative to using covering systems to reclaim them.

Title Hydrogeochemistry and treatment of acid mine drainage in southern China Type Book Chapter
Year (up) 1993 Publication Proceedings of the Annual National Meeting – American Society for Surface Mining and Reclamation, vol.10 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 277-283
Keywords acid mine drainage Asia bacteria chemical reactions China coal mines ecology Far East geochemistry hydrochemistry Jiangxi China lime mines oxidation pH pollution sulfides surface water trace elements water quality 22 Environmental geology 02B Hydrochemistry
Abstract Coal mines and various sulfide ore deposits are widely distributed in Southern China. Acid mine drainage associated with coal and metal sulfide deposits affects water quality in some mined areas of Southern China. Mining operations accelerate this natural deterioration of water quality by exposing greater surface areas of reactive minerals to the weathering effects of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Some approaches to reduce the effects of acid mine drainage on water quality are adopted, and they can be divided into two aspects: (a) Man-made control technology based on long-term monitoring of acid mine drainage; and, (b) Neutralization of acidity through the addition of lime. It is important that metals in the waste water are removed in the process of neutralization. A new method for calculating neutralization dosage is applied. It is demonstrated that the calculated value is approximately equal to the actual required value.
