  Title The UK coal authority minewater-treatment scheme programme: Performance of operational systems Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Jciwem Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 17 Issue 2 Pages 117-122  
  Keywords mine water treatment  
  Abstract This paper summarises the performance of minewater-treatment schemes which are operated under the Coal Authority's National Minewater Treatment Programme. Commonly-used design criteria and performance indicators are briefly discussed, and the performance of wetland systems which are operated by the Coal Authority is reviewed. Most schemes for which data are available remove more than 90% iron, and average area-adjusted iron-removal rates range from 1.5 to 5.5 g Fe/m(2). d. These values, which are based on performance calculations, can be distorted by several factors, including the practice of maximising wetland areas to make best use of available land. Removal rates are limited by influent iron loadings, and area-adjusted iron-removal rates should be used with caution when assessing wetland performance. Sizing criteria for all types of treatment system might be refined if more detailed data become available.

  Title Design, construction and performance of a full-scare compost wetland for mine-spoil drainage treatment at quaking houses Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Jciwem Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 5 Pages 313-318  
  Keywords Wetlands and estuaries geographical abstracts: physical geography hydrology (71 6 8) composting constructed wetland design performance assessment United Kingdom EnglandCounty Durham  
  Abstract Acidic spoil-heap drainage, containing elevated concentrations of iron, aluminium and manganese, has been polluting the Stanley Burn in County Durham for nearly two decades. Following the success of a pilot-scale wetland (the first application of its kind in Europe), a full-scale wetland was installed. Waste manures and composts have been used as the main substrate which is contained within embankments constructed from compacted pulverized fuel ash. The constructed wetland, which cost less than £20,000 to build, has consistently reduced iron and aluminium concentrations and has markedly lowered the acidity of the drainage. A third phase of activities at the site aims to identify and eliminate pollutant-release 'hot spots' within the spoil.
