Title Assessment of the Rum Jungle strategy for acid mine drainage control. Bewertung der Sanierungsstrategie von Rum Jungle zur Beherrschung des Problems der Freisetzung saurer Grubenwässer Type Conference Article

Abstract Das 1971 stillgelegte Uran- und Kupferbergwerk Rum Jungle kontaminierte durch aus dem Bergbau, der Aufbereitung und der Haufenlaugung resultierende saure Grubenwässer das Grundwasser und die Vorfluter. Die von 1983 bis 1986 durchgeführten Sanierungsarbeiten werden ausführlich unter Angabe der zeitlichen Veränderung der Meßwerte für den Schadstoffaustrag beschrieben. Das anschließend (bis 1993) realisierte Monitoringprogramm (mit staatlich gestützten Forschungsaktivitäten) zeigte, daß die Sanierung erfolgreich abgeschlossen worden war und alle Anforderungen erfüllte. Gegenwärtig ist ein neues Forschungsprogramm für weitere 5 Jahre angelaufen, bei dem es vorrangig darum geht, eine Quantifizierung der Schadstoffgenerierungsmengen und der Schadstoffbelastung zu erreichen sowie die Transportmechanismen zu untersuchen.

Title The effectiveness of the covers on waste rock dumps at Rum Jungle and the impact in the long term Type Journal Article

Abstract Covers are widely used as a means of controlling pollutant generation from sulfidic waste piles. To date, there has been little data available to test the effectiveness of such covers. Monitoring of two waste rock dumps at Rum Jungle over more than fifteen years has provided the opportunity to assess cover effectiveness in the medium term. For the first 9 years the infiltration rate through the cover on Whites dump was less than the design figure of 5 per cent of rainfall. In subsequent years, however, the rate has increased to between 5 and 10 per cent. In the first six years the infiltration rate through the cover on Intermediate dump was also less than 5 per cent. Unfortunately, further measurements had to be abandoned due to equipment malfunction in this dump. Oxygen and temperature profiles measured below the cover have been used to estimate the overall oxidation rate in the two dumps. This is between 30 and 50 per cent of the oxidation rate prior to installation of the cover. The effect these results have on pollutant loads in drainage in the long term depends on the nature of the control mechanisms in the system. If pollutant concentrations in drainage are determined by secondary mineralisation within the dumps then pollutant loads in the long term will be essentially proportional to any further increase in the infiltration rate. If the pollutant loads in drainage are largely determined by the overall oxidation rates then we can expect the pollutant loads from the two dumps to increase in the long term to a level about one third to one half of that prior to rehabilitation. In this context, 'long term' means about 40 years after installation of the cover system. Given the implications this work has for the use of soil covers, the following additional studies should be undertaken: A measurement program to quantify the pollution loads from Intermediate and Whites waste rock dumps. A program of computation, backed by acquisition of mineralogical data on the wastes, to address the question of controls on concentration and load in effluent from the two dumps. A program to determine the reason for the deteriorating performance of the covers at Rum Jungle.

Title Desulphurization of tailings with low neutralizing potential; kinetic study and flotation modeling Type Book Chapter
Year 1999 Publication Sudbury '99; Mining and the environment II; conference proceedings Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords acid mine drainage chemical properties chemical reactions environmental analysis environmental effects experimental studies flotation geochemistry kinetics laboratory studies mathematical models neutralization pH pollution sulfur tailings 22 Environmental geology 02A General geochemistry
Abstract Environmental desulphurization is an attractive alternative for acid generating tailings management as demonstrated during the last few years. In fact, such process placed at the end of the primary treatment circuit allows to reduce greatly the amount of problematic tailings by concentrating the sulphidic fraction. Moreover, the desulphurized tailings (non-acid generating) have the geotechnical and environmental properties for being used as fine material in a cover with capillary barrier effects. To produce desulphurized tailings, non selective froth flotation is the most adapted method as shown in many previous works. Desulphurization level is fixed by tailings sulphur content (or sulphide content) and neutralization potential NP. The final residue should have enough NP to compensate for his acid generating potential AP. In this paper, the authors present the results of laboratory tests conducted in Denver cells for studying the sulphide flotation kinetics of four mine tailings which are characterized by a weak neutralization potential (under 37 kg CaCO (sub 3) /t). Tailings 1, 2, 3 and 4 contain respectively 5.27, 10, 4.25 and 16.9 sulphur Wt. %. Tailings 1 and 2 are cyanide free and are well floated at pH around 11 by using amyl xanthate as collector. Collector dosage was optimized for these tailings and the results show that Tailing 2 need more collector. However, Tailings 3 and 4, which come from a gold cyanidation process, could not provide good sulphide recovery with xanthate collector because of the pyrite depression. To overcome this problem, amine acetate was used successfully but induces important entrainment. The consumption of this collector was also optimized. The results of kinetic tests and collector dosage were combined and modeled to establish relationships which allow to estimate the desulphurization performances.
