Abstract |
Just as the application of technology in mining processes can cause pollution, it can also be harnessed to minimise, and sometimes eliminate, mine-related contaminants. Waste minimisation can be achieved through decreased waste production, waste collection, waste recycling, and the neutralisation of pollutants into detoxified forms. This article reviews examples of how technology can be used to minimise air, water, land and noise pollution in the mining industry. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |

Abstract |
The accumulation of dichloroethenes (DCEs) as dominant products of microbial reductive dechlorination activity in soil and water represent a significant obstacle to the application of bioremediation as a remedial option for chloroethenes in many contaminated systems. In this study, the effects of biostimulation and/or bioaugmentation on the biodegradation of cis- and trans-DCE in soil and water samples collected from contaminated sites in South Africa were evaluated in order to deter-mine the possible bioremediation option for these compounds in the contaminated sites. Results from this study indicate that cis- and trans-DCE were readily degraded to varying degrees by natural microbial populations in all the soil and water samples tested, with up to 44% of cis-DCE and 41% of trans-DCE degraded in the untreated soil and water samples in two weeks. The degradation rate constants ranged significantly (P < 0.05) between 0.0938 and 0.560 wk(-1) and 0.182 and 0.401 wk(-1), for cis- and trans-DCE, respectively, for the various treatments employed. A combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation significantly increased the biodegradation of both compounds within two weeks; 14% for cis-DCE and 18% for trans-DCE degradation, above those observed in untreated soil and water samples. These findings support the use of a combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation for the efficient biodegradation of these compounds in contaminated soil and water. In addition, the results clearly demonstrate that while naturally occurring microorganisms are capable of aerobic biodegradation of cis- and trans-DCE, biotransformation may be affected by several factors, including isomer structure, soil type, and the amount of nutrients available in the water and soil.

Abstract |
The aim of this research was to assess the treatment efficiencies for gully pot liquor of experimental vertical-flow constructed wetland filters containing Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud. (common reed) and filter media of different adsorption capacities. Six out of 12 filters received inflow water spiked with metals. For 2 years, hydrated nickel and copper nitrate were added to sieved gully pot liquor to simulate contaminated primary treated storm runoff. For those six constructed wetland filters receiving heavy metals, an obvious breakthrough of dissolved nickel was recorded after road salting during the first winter. However, a breakthrough of nickel was not observed, since the inflow pH was raised to eight after the first year of operation. High pH facilitated the formation of particulate metal compounds such as nickel hydroxide. During the second year, reduction efficiencies of heavy metal, 5-days at 20 degrees C N-Allylthiourea biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids (SS) improved considerably. Concentrations of BOD were frequently < 20 mg/L. However, concentrations for SS were frequently > 30 mg/L. These are the two international thresholds for secondary wastewater treatment. The BOD removal increased over time due to biomass maturation, and the increase of pH. An analysis of the findings with case-based reasoning can be found in the corresponding follow-up paper (Part B). |

Abstract |
Decades of atmospheric acid deposition have resulted in widespread lake and river acidification in the northeastern U.S. Biological effects of acidification include increased mortality of sensitive aquatic species Such as the endangered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a limestone-based fluidized bed system for the treatment of acid-impacted waters. The treatment system was tested at the Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery in East Orland, Maine over a period of 3 years. The product water from the treatment system was diluted with hatchery water to prepare water supplies with three different levels of alkalinity for testing of fish health and Survival. Based on positive results from a prototype system used in the first year of the study, a larger demonstration system was used in the second and third years with the objective of decreasing operating costs. Carbon dioxide was used to accelerate limestone dissolution, and was the major factor in system performance, as evidenced by the model result: Alk = 72.84 X P(CO2)(1/2); R-2 = 0.975. No significant acidic incursions were noted for the control water over the course of the Study. Had these incursions occurred, survivability in the untreated water would likely have been much more severely impacted. Treated water consistently provided elevated alkalinity and pH above that of the hatchery source water. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |

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. |
