Title Mitigation of water contamination at the historic Ferris-Haggarty Mine, Wyoming Type Journal Article

Abstract An historic underground copper mine in Wyoming is discharging neutral but copper-laden water into a pristine creek. The EPA-deferred site qualifies for reclamation by the Wyoming Abandoned Mine Land (AML) program. The cleanup goal is to restore the discharge so that the creek can eventually support a trout fishery. Hydrological and geochemical investigations underground have suggested two sources of mine water: one clean and the other containing copper. Results of bench- and pilot-scale tests support the viability of using low-cost passive treatment techniques to reduce copper concentrations in the near-freezing mine discharge.

Title Remediating historic mine sites in Colorado Type Journal Article
Year 1999 Publication Min. Eng. Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 51 Issue 8 Pages 32-35
Keywords Reclamation and conservation Groundwater problems and environmental effects geological abstracts: environmental geology (72 14 1) geomechanics abstracts: excavations (77 10 10) abandoned mine acid mine drainage environmental effect remediation United States Colorado
Abstract This article provides examples of reclamation and remediation in Colorado watersheds. The projects were undertaken by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8, in cooperation with the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG), Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), US Forest Service (USFS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and the US Geological Survey (USGS). These agencies collaborated on the environmental problems at abandoned mines. These samples involved the interaction of surface and ground waters with sulfide-bearing rocks, mine workings and surface mine spoils that produce acid solutions charged with heavy metals that are toxic to organisms. In these examples, acid mine drainage from historic mines in Colorado has been approached cooperatively with stakeholders. Each example emphasizes one aspect of the three-stage process. These stages include characterization and prioritization, hydrologic controls and the evaluation of long-term remediation activities.

Title Treatment of inorganic contaminants using permeable reactive barriers Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication J Contam Hydrol Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 45 Issue 1-2 Pages 123-137
Keywords acid mine drainage; adsorption; agricultural waste; aquifers; chemical reactions; chromium; concentration; contaminant plumes; decontamination; disposal barriers; dissolved materials; drainage; ground water; heavy metals; metals; nitrate ion; nutrients; permeability; phosphate ion; pollution; pump-and-treat; remediation; sulfate ion; waste disposal; water treatment mine water treatment Remediation Groundwater Metals Nutrients Radionuclides
Abstract Permeable reactive barriers are an emerging alternative to traditional pump and treat systems for groundwater remediation. This technique has progressed rapidly over the past decade from laboratory bench-scale studies to full-scale implementation. Laboratory studies indicate the potential for treatment of a large number of inorganic contaminants, including As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Tc, U, V, NO3, PO4 and SO4. Small-scale field studies have demonstrated treatment of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, NO3, PO4 and SO4. Permeable reactive barriers composed of zero-valent iron have been used in full-scale installations for the treatment of Cr, U, and Tc. Solid-phase organic carbon in the form of municipal compost has been used to remove dissolved constituents associated with acid-mine drainage, including SO4, Fe, Ni, Co and Zn. Dissolved nutrients, including NO3 and PO4, have been removed from domestic septic-system effluent and agricultural drainage.

Title Mine drainage treatment and ferrite sludge application Type Journal Article
Year 1991 Publication NEC Technical Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 44 Issue 5 Pages 4-16
Keywords ferrite applications mining water treatment mine drainage treatment waste water treatment ions metal recovery catalysts environmental problems solution ferrite sludge application iron oxidation bacteria ferrite formation process mine drainage Matsuo Mine magnetic marking materials magnetic fluid metal separation semiactive magnetic damper batteries fish gathering cement tracer Electrical and Electronic Engineering Manufacturing and Production
Abstract The `ferrite process' is an excellent method for treating waste water containing iron and arsenic, but cannot be directly applied to mine drainage where silicon and aluminum ions are present, because they strongly inhibit ferrite formation. As a result of the development of related technologies such as the elimination of silicon, the concentration of iron, and the oxidation of ferrous ions using iron-oxidation bacteria, a new ferrite formation process has been developed and applied to the mine drainage of the Matsuo Mine. The paper discusses the application of the ferrite sludge to magnetic marking materials, magnetic fluid for metal separation and recovery, and the semiactive magnetic damper is described. The related technologies which will be expected to play an important role in solving the environmental problems are also described. These technologies will change the ferrite sludge to beneficial materials, which can be used for carbon dioxide decomposing catalysts, reuse of dry batteries, fish gathering blocks, and cement tracer for ground improvement
