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 (up) 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 Comparison of calcite to quicklime for amending partially oxidized sulfidic mine tailings before flooding Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Environ Sci Technol Abbreviated Journal
Volume 37 Issue 7 Pages 1408-1413
Keywords (up) mine water treatment
Abstract Flooding partially oxidized mine tailings for the purpose of mitigating further oxidation of sulfide minerals and generation of acid drainage is generally preceded by treatment with alkaline amendments to prevent releasing previously accumulated acidity to the water cover. This work compares the ability of calcite (CaCO3) and quicklime (CaO), two common amendments, to establish and maintain pH conditions and dissolved metal concentrations within environmentally acceptable ranges over long time periods. Although higher initial pH values were obtained with quicklime, the pH of quicklime treated tailings decreased over time. This was attributed to the low buffering capacity of quicklime treated tailings and to the consumption of hydroxide ions by incongruent dissolution of water-insoluble iron oxyhydroxysulfate minerals. In contrast, the pH of tailings treated with calcite increased initially and then remained stable at pH approximate to 6.7. This pH behavior was due to the lower reactivity of iron oxyhydroxysulfates with calcite, the increased buffering capacity provided by bicarbonate ions, and the incomplete dissolution of calcite. Overall, calcite was found preferable to quicklime for maintaining long-term neutral pH conditions in the treated tailings. With the exception of zinc, acceptable dissolved metal concentrations were achieved with calcite treated tailings.

Title Mining waters treatment for drinking and economic aims Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication VI National Polish Scientific Conference on Complex and Detailed Problems of Environmental Engineering Abbreviated Journal
Volume 21 Issue Pages 333-348
Keywords (up) mine water treatment
Abstract Poland is comparatively a poor country in relation to resources of drinking water. In count per capita it is oil one of the last places in Europe. Such state forces to save resources for example by closing water circulations and also desalination of mining waters.

Title Remediation of the Eagle Mine superfund site: a biological success story Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Tailings and Mine Waste '03 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 481-485
Keywords (up) mine water treatment
Abstract Remediation of the Eagle Mine Superfund Site began in 1988. Remedial action included: bulk-heading adits, flooding mine workings; constructing diversion ditches around waste rock; consolidating mine wastes in an on-site tailings pile; capping the tailings pile with a multi-layer, engineered cap; and revegetating disturbed areas with native plants. Flooding the mine workings resulted in unacceptable seepage into the Eagle River in late 1989. A water treatment plant was constructed to collect mine seepage and groundwater at the main tailings pile. In October 2001, construction of the remedy was declared “complete” and the site is now in the operation, maintenance and monitoring phase. A strong downward trend in zinc and cadmium concentrations in the Eagle River has occurred and, trout and macroinvertebrate populations have increased. Biological data are being used to establish water quality standards for the Eagle River.
