This report evaluates the results of a continuous 4.5-day laboratory aeration experiment and the first year of passive, aerobic treatment of abandoned mine drainage (AMD) from a typical flooded underground anthracite mine in eastern Pennsylvania, USA. During 1991–2006, the AMD source, locally known as the Otto Discharge, had flows from 20 to 270 L/s (median 92 L/s) and water quality that was consistently suboxic (median 0.9 mg/L O2) and circumneutral (pH ≈ 6.0; net alkalinity >10) with moderate concentrations of dissolved iron and manganese and low concentrations of dissolved aluminum (medians of 11, 2.2, and <0.2 mg/L, respectively). In 2001, the laboratory aeration experiment demonstrated rapid oxidation of ferrous iron (Fe2+) without supplemental alkalinity; the initial Fe2+ concentration of 16.4 mg/L decreased to less than 0.5 mg/L within 24 h; pH values increased rapidly from 5.8 to 7.2, ultimately attaining a steady-state value of 7.5. The increased pH coincided with a rapid decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) from an initial value of 10−1.1 atm to a steady-state value of 10−3.1 atm. From these results, a staged aerobic treatment system was conceptualized consisting of a 2 m deep pond with innovative aeration and recirculation to promote rapid oxidation of Fe2+, two 0.3 m deep wetlands to facilitate iron solids removal, and a supplemental oxic limestone drain for dissolved manganese and trace-metal removal. The system was constructed, but without the aeration mechanism, and began operation in June 2005. During the first 12 months of operation, estimated detention times in the treatment system ranged from 9 to 38 h. However, in contrast with 80–100% removal of Fe2+ over similar elapsed times during the laboratory aeration experiment, the treatment system typically removed less than 35% of the influent Fe2+. Although concentrations of dissolved CO2 decreased progressively within the treatment system, the PCO2 values for treated effluent remained elevated (10−2.4 to 10−1.7 atm). The elevated PCO2 maintained the pH within the system at values less than 7 and hence slowed the rate of Fe2+ oxidation compared to the aeration experiment. Kinetic models of Fe2+ oxidation that consider effects of pH and dissolved O2 were incorporated in the geochemical computer program PHREEQC to evaluate the effects of detention time, pH, and other variables on Fe2+ oxidation and removal rates. These models and the laboratory aeration experiment indicate that performance of this and other aerobic wetlands for treatment of net-alkaline AMD could be improved by aggressive, continuous aeration in the initial stage to decrease PCO2, increase pH, and accelerate Fe2+ oxidation.

Process water from the Ranger Uranium Mine requires treatment to meet stringent environmental water quality criteria. The acidic water contains substantial SO4, metals, and U. One novel treatment method under consideration is the use of Na-aluminate to both neutralise the process water and precipitate hydrotalcites. Hydrotalcites are a class of Mg–Al layered double hydroxide minerals with a typical endmember chemical composition: Mg6Al2(A)(OH)16·n(H2O), where A = CO3 2−, SO4 2−, etc. Many acidic wastewaters contain Mg and/or Al in sufficient abundance for hydrotalcite formation upon addition of alkali to achieve solution pH > 5, and Mg and/or Al to attain a Mg:Al ratio of 2 to 3:1. The utility of hydrotalcites lies in their ability to incorporate a range of cationic (Cu2+, UO2 2+), metalloid (AsO4 3−), and (oxy)anionic contaminants (CrO4 2−). The broad spectrum removal of contaminants, including U, also indicates that hydrotalcites and their derivatives could potentially be used as a containment material in nuclear waste repositories. In this study, Ranger process water derived from extraction of U from chloritic schist was treated with Na-aluminate sourced from Bayer process liquor, in combination with NaOH or Ca(OH)2. Hydrotalcites formed as the primary mineral during process water neutralisation with the ability to simultaneously remove a suite of contaminants from solution.  相似文献

Abstract:  The net acidity of a water sample can be measured directly by titration with a standardized base solution or calculated from the measured concentrations of the acidic and basic components. For coal mine drainage, the acidic components are primarily accounted for by free protons and dissolved Fe2+, Fe3+, Al3+, and Mn2+. The base component is primarily accounted for by bicarbonate. A standard way to calculate the acidity for coal mine drainage is: Acidcalc = 50*(2*Fe2+/56 + 3*Fe3+/56 + 3*Al/27 + 2*Mn/55 + 1000*10-pH)—alkalinity, where acidity and alkalinity are measured as mg/L CaCO3 and the metals are mg/L. Because such methods of estimating acidity are derived by independent laboratory procedures, their comparison can provide a valuable QA/QC for AMD datasets. The relationship between measured and calculated acidities was evaluated for 14 datasets of samples collected from mine drainage discharges, polluted receiving streams, or passive treatment systems, containing a total of 1,484 sample analyses. The datasets were variable in nature, ranging from watersheds where most of the discharges contained alkalinity to ones where all of the discharges were acidic. Good relationships were found to exist between measured and calculated acidities. The average acidity measurement was 239 mg/L CaCO3 and the average acidity calculation was 226 mg/L CaCO3. Linear regressions were calculated for individual datasets and for the entire dataset. The linear regression for the entire dataset was: Acidcalc = 0.98 * Acidmeas – 8, r2 = 0.98. The good correlation between calculated and measured acidity is the basis for an easy and inexpensive QA/QC for AMD data. Substantial variation between measured and calculated acidities can be used to infer sampling or analytical problems.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the different preferences of thermophiles to oxidize S0 or Fe2+ is reflected by different [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] levels in solution. In those studies it was concluded that [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] governs the thermophilic bioleaching of chalcopyrite rather than temperature or pH. Therefore, the proposed model is mainly based on the finding that thermophilic bioleaching of chalcopyrite is governed by [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] that result from the activity of thermophiles. A direct interaction between chalcopyrite and thermophiles is neglected because it has been reported that this is not a general behavior for all thermophiles. The case of constant temperature, initial pH 1.5–2.5, and chalcopyrite concentrates is considered. The main assumption is that chalcopyrite can be anodically oxidized or cathodically reduced depending on [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] in solution. When chalcopyrite is oxidized at high [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] levels, Cu2+ is formed directly at low rates: CuFeS2 + 4Fe3+  Cu2+ + 5Fe2+ + S0. Whereas, when chalcopyrite is reduced at low [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] levels, an intermediate (Cu2S) is formed at higher rates: CuFeS2 + Fe2+ + Cu2+ + 2H+  Cu2S + 2Fe3+ + H2S. Because the oxidation of Cu2S is relatively fast: Cu2S + 4Fe3+  2Cu2+ + S0 + 4Fe2+, its accumulation is assumed to be negligible. To take into account the possibility of chalcopyrite being oxidized or reduced depending on [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] in solution, the principle of mixed potentials is used. The model is validated by comparing the calculated and measured values of copper extraction, total iron in solution, and pH.  相似文献

Formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidising agent stronger than oxygen, by pyrite (FeS2), the most abundant metal sulphide on Earth, during grinding was investigated. It was found that pyrite generated H2O2 in pulp liquid during wet grinding and also the solids when placed in water immediately after dry grinding. Type of grinding medium on formation of hydrogen peroxide revealed that the mild steel produced more H2O2 than stainless steel grinding medium, where Fe2+ and/or Fe3+ ions played a key role in producing higher amounts of H2O2. The effect of grinding atmosphere of air and N2 gas showed that nitrogen environment free from oxygen generated more H2O2 than air atmosphere suggesting that the oxygen in hydrogen peroxide is derived from water molecules. In addition, the solids after dry grinding producing more H2O2 than wet grinding indicate the role of pyrite surface or its catalytic activity in producing H2O2 from water. This study highlights the necessity of relooking into the electrochemical and/or galvanic interaction mechanisms between the grinding medium and pyrite in terms of its flotation behaviour.  相似文献

It is difficult to economically recover rare earths (RE) and niobium (Nb) from Bayan Obo tailings by the existing metallurgical processes. In this study, a novel hydrometallurgy process was employed for separating and recovering RE and Nb from Bayan Obo tailings. Firstly, by sulfating roasting at 250 °C and subsequent leaching at 60 °C, the RE and Nb present in the polymetallic minerals can be efficiently extracted into the leach solution. Secondly, after the reduction of Ti4+ and Fe3+ ions (to Ti3+ and Fe2+ ions) with iron powders followed by hydrolysis at pH 2.01, the Nb can be efficiently precipitated from the leach solution. The impurities present in the precipitated product can then be removed by treating with NH3⋅H2O–H2C2O4 system at pH 4.50. Thirdly, the RE can be efficiently precipitated at pH 7.15 from the filtrate of above hydrolysis reaction mixture. Finally, the impurities present in the crude RE can be removed by oxalate co-precipitation method. The yield of RE and Nb in this novel process reaches up to 90% and 78%, respectively. Both the Nb (60.67 wt% Nb2O5) and RE products (>88.65 wt% RExOy) have high application value.  相似文献

For the noble metal flotation reagents, the authors propose a new test method of selective adsorption on surface of minerals covered with noble metal grains, by using a scanning electron microscope equipped with an X-ray energy-dispersive microanalyzer. Sorption of DTPINa was recorded by SEM and thin layer chromatography on surface of platinum metal grains in the form of a compound identical to the synthesized compound Pt[(iso-C4H9)2PS2]2. It has been found that interaction of DTPI and platinum ions can run in unheated aqueous solutions at a rate sufficient for flotation. In pH 4–9 range, the rate of platinum DTPI formation is maximal. __________ Translated from Fiziko-Tekhnicheskie Problemy Razrabotki Poleznykh Iskopaemykh, No. 2, pp. 75–84, March–April, 2009.  相似文献

This study examines the leaching of copper from waste electric cables by chemical leaching and leaching catalysed by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in terms of leaching kinetics and reagents consumption. Operational parameters such as the nature of the oxidant (Fe3+, O2), the initial ferric iron concentration (0–10 g/L) and the temperature (21–50 °C) were identified to have an important influence on the degree of copper solubilisation. At optimal process conditions, copper extraction above 90% was achieved in both leaching systems, with a leaching duration of 1 day. The bacterial leaching system slightly outperformed the chemical one but the positive effect of regeneration of Fe3+ was limited. It appears that the Fe2+ bio-oxidation is not sufficiently optimised. Best results in terms of copper solubilisation kinetics were obtained for the abiotic test at 50 °C and for the biotic test at 35 °C. Moreover, the study showed that in same operating conditions, a lower acid consumption was recorded for the biotic test than for the abiotic test.  相似文献

Acid surface dissolution as a pretreatment method converts Fe2+ ions on the ilmenite surface to Fe3+ ions. XPS analysis showed that the content of Fe3+ increases from 48.5% to 59.8% after surface dissolution for 15 min in a solution of sulfuric acid with a concentration of 10%. This conversion, without any phase transformation, decreases the zeta potential of ilmenite in a wide pH range, resulting in a shift in IEP (Iso-Electric Point) from a pH of 5.4 to 2.3. FTIR spectra and zeta potential measurements showed that the increase of oleate ions adsorption on the ilmenite surface, resulting from the surface dissolution process, is insignificant. After surface dissolution, the formation of more ferric iron oleate species (Ksp = 10−29.7) being more stable than ferrous iron oleate (Ksp = 10−15.5) compounds yields an increase of ilmenite hydrophobicity and floatability in a wide pH range. Using 3.65 × 10−4 M sodium oleate at a pH of 6.3, the maximum flotation recoveries are obtained as 73.5% and 92% for non-treated and acid pretreated ilmenite, respectively.  相似文献

The removal of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions from synthetic wastewater with a modified Jameson cell (MJC) was studied using adsorption colloidal flotation (ACF). A colloidal dispersion of Fe (OH)3 (formed in situ from FeCl3) at pH 11 was used as an adsorbent colloid to ensure full adsorption and precipitation. The precipitates were flocculated with polyacrylamide and hydrophobised with sodium oleate and pine oil as a frother during the flotation stage. In the modified jet cell, the downcomer was sealed at the bottom with a diffuser, and the re-flotation of detached flocs and the probability of bubbles/particles capture was enhanced, which improved the recovery rate. As a result, the modified Jameson cell was more efficient (higher loaded carrier recoveries) than the conventional jet cell (CJC) in removing heavy metals ions. The physico-chemical characteristics, cell design and operating parameters were studied, and the removal efficiency was evaluated by monitoring the final concentration of ions in the treated effluent. The results indicated that the removal efficiencies of the MJC were approximately 95% and 98% for dilute (Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ concentration of 2 mg/L) and concentrated wastewater (25 mg/L of each ion), respectively. The optimal parameters included a Fe+3/ion ratio of 0.5 and a minimum air flow-rate/feed flow-rate ratio of 0.18. The results are discussed in terms of the physical and physico-chemical parameters, and the findings suggested that the proposed flotation technique has great potential for the treatment of wastewater.  相似文献

通过纯矿物的浮选试验、电动电位测试、Fe~(3+)溶液化学分析、以及X射线光电子能谱分析(XPS),系统地研究了Fe~(3+)对辉钼矿表面性质、可浮性的影响及其作用机制。结果表明,Fe~(3+)的加入明显降低了辉钼矿的浮选回收率;Fe~(3+)在辉钼矿表面发生了较强的吸附,辉钼矿经Fe~(3+)作用后其表面电位发生显著偏移;Fe~(3+)在溶液中主要以羟基络合铁离子、氢氧化铁沉淀及少量铁离子形态存在,其中羟基络合铁离子、氢氧化铁沉淀具有极强的极性,能吸附在辉钼矿上,而铁离子能与辉钼矿棱氧化生成的MoO_4~(2-)发生化学反应;由于辉钼矿棱的面积要比面的面积小,而铁离子主要是吸附在棱上,因此由XPS检测分析可知,铁元素的峰不明显,铁的含量不多,但可以看出铁离子吸附在辉钼矿表面,且吸附既有物理吸附也有化学吸附。  相似文献

The experimental data are reported on intensification of the copper-nickel grinding by feeding fluorinated saturated mono-atomic alcohols of a general formula H - (CF2CF2) n - CH2 - OH into a mill. The feeding of this reagent into a mill at the rate of 25–100 g/t of feed provides better exposure of aggregates in the ore preparation circuit thus intensifying the subsequent ore flotation. The increment of copper and nickel recovery into a concentrate amounts to more than 4%. __________ Translated from Fiziko-Tekhnicheskie Problemy Razrabotki Poleznykh Iskopaemykh, No. 4, pp. 95–100, July–August, 2008.  相似文献

In this study, ozonator combined with flotator (OCF) have been applied to treat the mineral processing wastewater. The process efficiency has been evaluated in the bench scale. Removing xanthate from aqueous solution was conducted by OCF. In all cases, the butyl xanthate concentration in the treated water was found to be negligible (<0.42 mg L1). The experiments were preceded under different reaction conditions to study the ozonation time and pH on the oxidation of butyl xanthate. The concentration of butyl xanthate and sulfide are analyzed at special time intervals to elucidate the decomposition of butyl xanthate. In addition, oxidation reduction potential and pH are continuously measured in the course of experiments. Chemical oxygen demand is chosen as a mineralization index of the ozonation of butyl xanthate. The degradation mechanism between butyl xanthate and ozone has been discussed. The OCF technology showed to be an efficient process, which requires ozone and flotator, and the treated water ended up with a very low residual concentration of xanthate and COD. It can be inferred from ultraviolet spectrum, HPLC-MS and COD measurement that SO42 is produced. The COD of butyl xanthate solution declined dramatically, the removal rate of COD reached 72.21% when ozonation time is 60 min. And the biodegradability (BOD/COD) of butyl xanthate solution increased markedly and shifted from 0.251 to 0.361. It is believed that this ozonation–flotation technique, here named OCF, using ozonator and flotator has a high potential as a alternative method for pollutants removal (flotation reagents, such as butyl xanthate) form waste mining effluents.  相似文献

Tailings produced from Üçköprü Chromite Concentrator are composed of fines mostly below 1 mm of which 52.3 wt. % is below 0.1 mm. A new flow sheet involving shaking table for processing −1 + 0.1 mm size fraction, and High Intensity Wet Magnetic Separator (HIWMS) and column flotation for treating -0.1 mm size fraction was put forward. According to the new ffowsheet, the Üçköprü Concentrator tailings assaying 13.99 wt. % Cr2O3 was upgraded to 47.4 percent Cr23 at a recovery of 66.4 wt. % using shaking table followed by a combination of magnetic separation and column flotation with a mixture of anionic collectors at pH 11. The success of such high pH with anionic surfactants is indeed intriguing. Electrokinetic methods were used to elucidate the mechanism of collector adsorption and correlate the findings with the optimum flotation conditions. Multivalent constituent ions such as Cr3+, Al3+, Fee+ and Mg2+ were found to adsorb on chromite surface and shift the iep of chromite in the direction of oxide form of the mineral. The anionic collectors also imparted a negative charge to chromite in the entire pH region. The positive sites on the chromite surface, onto which anionic collectors adsorb, are generated through the formation of significant amounts of hydroxy complexes of magnesium ion at pH 11. Complementary infrared data reveals the absence of a shift in the spectra indicating the possibility of physical adsorption in the system.  相似文献

Thiocyanate formation from cyanidation of gold bearing ores is becoming a more common problem during gold processing. In this work, the application of an advanced oxidation process based on the use of persulfate (S2O82) as an environmentally friendly oxidant in the presence of ferric ion for destruction of a persistent and non-volatile inorganic contaminant, such as thiocyanate, in aqueous solutions is reported for the first time. The influence of various reaction parameters like ferric ion and persulfate dosage, initial thiocyanate concentration and the influence of radical scavenger are examined. An accelerated reaction using S2O82 to destroy thiocyanate can be achieved via chemical activation with Fe3+ to generate highly reactive sulfate anion-radicals (SO4). The results showed that degradation efficiency was negligible when persulfate was used alone, ferric ions significantly improved the degradation efficiency of thiocyanate at ambient temperature. Under the optimum molar ratios ([S2O82]:[SCN] = 5:1 and [S2O82]:[Fe3+] = 1:0.2), 99% of thiocyanate present in aqueous solution at the initial concentration range of 1.72–17.2 mM was degraded within 60 min of reaction time. To evaluate the contribution of reactive free radicals generated through Fe(III)-mediated activation of persulfate to thiocyanate degradation, quenching experiments using methanol as the radical quenching agent were carried out. The obvious decrease in thiocyanate oxidation efficiency in the presence of methanol confirmed that the radical-based pathway was the dominant mechanism in Fe3+/S2O82 system. The degradation of thiocyanate was accompanied by the formation of cyanide as the main final product of the reaction. Thus the catalytic oxidation of thiocyanate makes it possible to return NaCN into the production process for leaching of precious metals. The work presents an efficient and environmentally acceptable wastewater treatment process applicable in mining facilities utilizing cyanidation of sulfide ores and/or concentrates.  相似文献
