Title Mine drainage treatment in Polish lignite mining Type Journal Article
Year 1992 Publication Mine Water Env. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue (up) 1 Pages 35-44
Keywords laboratory scale tests plants bogs biological filters open cut mining mine drainage filtration flocculation radiation particle size suspended solids water treatment water discharge field tests lignite mines poland mining and industrial water water treatment water quality
Abstract The paper presents volumes and characteristics of water discharged from some Polish lignite open pit mines and discusses methods for its treatment. Results of research work concerned with increase in mine drainage efficiency by using processes of radiation, flocculation and filtration through a set of bog plants, iknown as grass filter are also discussed

Title Injection of Fluidized Bed Combustion Ash into Mine Workings for Treatment of Acid Mine Drainage Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Mine Water Env. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 25 Issue (up) 1 Pages 45-55
Keywords acid mine drainage AMD alkaline injection technology fluidized bed combustion ash Oklahoma
Abstract A demonstration project was conducted to investigate treating acid mine water by alkaline injection technology (AIT). A total of 379 t of alkaline coal combustion byproduct was injected into in an eastern Oklahoma drift coal mine. AIT increased the pH and alkalinity, and reduced acidity and metal loading. Although large improvements in water quality were only observed for 15 months before the effluent water chemistry appeared to approach pre-injection conditions, a review of the data four years after injection identified statistically significant changes in the mine discharge compared to pre-injection conditions. Decreases in acidity (23%), iron (18%), and aluminium (47%) were observed, while an increase in pH (0.35 units) was noted. Presumably, the mine environment reached quasi-equilibrium with the alkalinity introduced to the system.

Title The adoption and adaptation of passive treatment technologies for mine waters in the United Kingdom Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication Mine Water Env. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 19 Issue (up) 2 Pages 84-97
Keywords wetlands SAPS aerobic wetlands acidity aerobic anaerobic compost iron metals passive reactive barrier water treatment
Abstract During the 1990s, passive treatment technology was introduced to the United Kingdom (UK). Early hesitancy on the part of regulators and practitioners was rapidly overcome, at least for net-alkaline mine waters, so that passive treatment is now the technology of choice for the long-term remediation of such discharges, wherever land availability is not unduly limiting. Six types of passive systems are now being used in the UK for mine water treatment: ¨ aerobic, surface flow wetlands (reed-beds); ¨ anaerobic, compost wetlands with significant surface flow; ¨ mixed compost / limestone systems, with predominantly subsurface flow (so-called Reducing and Alkalinity Producing Systems (RAPS)); ¨ subsurface reactive barriers to treat acidic, metalliferous ground waters; ¨ closed-system limestone dissolution systems for zinc removal from alkaline waters; ¨ roughing filters for treating ferruginous mine waters where land availability is limited. Each of these technologies is appropriate for a different kind of mine water, or for specific hydraulic circumstances. The degree to which each type of system can be considered “proven technology” corresponds to the order in which they are listed above. Many of these passive systems have become foci for detailed scientific research, as part of a $1.5M European Commission project running from 2000 to 2003.
