AMD from the Anna S coal mine in Pennsylvania (USA) has been treated successfully since 2004 in the Anna and Hunters Drift (HD) passive systems. The systems, which consist of vertical flow ponds and constructed wetlands, are the largest and most costly mine water treatment project installed by a non-profit group in the USA to date. 15 years of monitoring data show that the systems effectively treated 1910 L/min of flow with pH 2.8–3.1 containing 121–330 mg/L acidity (as CaCO3), 11–31 mg/L Al, 6–33 mg/L Fe, and 6 mg/L Mn. The systems produced effluents with pH 7.5, 134–140 mg/L alkalinity (as CaCO3), < 1 mg/L Al, 1 mg/L Fe, 2–3 mg/L Mn, and never discharged water with less than 60 mg/L alkalinity (106 samples). In 15 years of operation, the systems generated a combined 5600 tonnes (t) of net alkalinity. Unit treatment costs were converted to 2018 U.S. $ and compared to active treatment systems. Over a 20 year period, passive systems generate alkalinity at a cost of $1168/t of CaCO3, which is 50% less than unit costs for lime treatment plants currently operated in Pennsylvania. 相似文献

When appropriately designed and maintained, passive systems can provide long-term, efficient, and effective treatment for many acid mine drainage (AMD) sources. Passive AMD treatment relies on natural processes to neutralize acidity and to oxidize or reduce and precipitate metal contaminants. Passive treatment is most suitable for small to moderate AMD discharges of appropriate chemistry, but periodic inspection and maintenance plus eventual renovation are generally required. Passive treatment technologies can be separated into biological and geochemical types. Biological passive treatment technologies generally rely on bacterial activity, and may use organic matter to stimulate microbial sulfate reduction and to adsorb contaminants; constructed wetlands, vertical flow wetlands, and bioreactors are all examples. Geochemical systems place alkalinity-generating materials such as limestone in contact with AMD (direct treatment) or with fresh water up-gradient of the AMD. Most passive treatment systems employ multiple methods, often in series, to promote acid neutralization and oxidation and precipitation of the resulting metal flocs. Before selecting an appropriate treatment technology, the AMD conditions and chemistry must be characterized. Flow, acidity and alkalinity, metal, and dissolved oxygen concentrations are critical parameters. This paper reviews the current state of passive system technology development, provides results for various system types, and provides guidance for sizing and effective operation. 相似文献

Abstract.
State and federal reclamation programs, mining operators,
and citizen-based watershed organizations have constructed
hundreds of passive systems in the eastern U. S. over the past
20 years to provide reliable, low cost, low maintenance mine
water treatment in remote locations. While performance has been
reported for individual systems, there has not been a
comprehensive evaluation of the performance of each treatment
type for a wide variety of conditions. We evaluated 83 systems;
five types in eight states. Each system was monitored for
influent and effluent flow, ph, net acidity, and metal
concentrations. Performance was normalized among types by
calclating acid loading reductions and removals, and by
converting construction cost, projected service life, and metric
tonnes of acid load treated into cost per tonne of acid treated.
Of the 83 systems, 82 reduced acid load. Average acid load
reductions were 9.9 t/yr for open limestone channels (OLC), 10.1
t/yr for vertical flow wetland (VFW), 11.9 t/yr for anaerobic
wetlands (AnW), 16.6 t/yr for limestone leach beds (LSB), and
22.2 t/yr for anoxic limestone drains (ALD). Average costs for
acid removal varied from $83/t/yr for ALDs to $527 for AnWs.
Average acid removals were 25
g/m2/day for AnWs, 62
g/m2/day for VFWs, 22 g/day/t for
OLCs, 28 g/day/t for LSBs, and 56 g/day/t for ALDs. It appears
that the majority of passive systems are effective but there was
wide variation within each system type, so improved reliability
and efficiency are needed. This report is an initial step in
determining passive treatment system performance; additional
work is needed to refine system designs and monitoring. 相似文献

The Marchand passive treatment system was constructed in 2006 for a 6,000 L/min discharge from an abandoned underground bituminous
coal mine located in western Pennsylvania, USA. The system consists of six serially connected ponds followed by a large constructed
wetland. Treatment performance was monitored between December 2006 and 2007. The system inflow was alkaline with pH 6.2, 337 mg/L
CaCO3 alkalinity, 74 mg/L Fe, 1 mg/L Mn, and <1 mg/L Al. The final discharge averaged pH 7.5, 214 mg/L CaCO3 alkalinity, and 0.8 mg/L Fe. The settling ponds removed 84% of the Fe at an average rate of 26 g Fe m−2 day−1. The constructed wetland removed residual Fe at a rate of 4 g Fe m−2 day−1. Analyses of dissolved and particulate Fe fractions indicated that Fe removal was limited in the ponds by the rate of iron
oxidation and in the wetland by the rate of particulate iron settling. The treatment effectiveness of the system did not substantially
degrade during cold weather or at high flows. The system cost $1.3 million (2006) or $207 (US) per L/min of average flow.
Annual maintenance and sampling costs are projected at $10,000 per year. The 25-year present value cost estimate (4% discount
rate) is $1.45 million or $0.018 per 1,000 L of treated flow. 相似文献

Conventional treatment of acid rock drainage (ARD) from coal mines generates large volumes of sludge, which requires further treatment and disposal. The aim of this work was to study the recovery of iron by selective precipitation to synthetize goethite for use as pigment. Goethite particles were successfully produced, and presented a particle distribution in the range of nano- and micro-sizes, varying from 0.04 to 5.0 µm when produced as paste suspension, or from 0.04 to 25.0 µm when dried at 60?°C and converted to a solid powder. The pigment was used to color a white cement paste, giving it a yellow ochre color. ARD treatment plants can adopt this process to reduce waste disposal issues and produce a valuable mineral (e.g., yellow pigment for concrete). 相似文献

Passive treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) relies on biological, geochemical, and gravitational processes to neutralize
acidity. Published design guidelines use sizing ‘rules of thumb’ based on AMD loadings at design flows. Using average performance
data for 82 treatment systems, we used regression modeling to investigate the influence of influent net acidity and water
loading on alkalinity generation by five treatment system types. Alkalinity generation increases with influent net acidity
loading for all system types. Influent net acidity loading can be deconstructed into concentration and water loading components.
In bivariate models, water loading was a predictor of alkalinity generation for all five system types but net acidity was
significant only for vertical flow systems (VFs). In multivariate models using both components as performance predictors,
both influenced alkalinity generation. These relationships were strongest for anaerobic wetlands (AWs), VFs, and open limestone
channels; anoxic limestone drains and limestone leach beds demonstrated these influences less consistently. These results
reflect the geochemical mechanisms governing the performance of limestone-based passive treatment system: solubility of limestone
decreases as dissolved reaction products and pH increase. 相似文献

In southern Spain, coal seams typically contain pyrite. The mines there are characteristically contaminated by the presence
of diverse metals disolved in acidic water. An experimental passive system, containing an anoxic limestone draine, organic
matter and wetlands, was constructed to assess how best to inprove the water chemistry. The procedure we used is reported
on here so others can learn from what we did. 相似文献

The Gray acid mine drainage index (AMDI) was developed to detect, quantify, and categorise mine water and to monitor recovery
of contaminated sites. A modified index (MAMDI) is proposed, incorporating the concentration of the dissolved metals that
are present (at significant levels) and analysed at a site, and adjusting the weighting to reflect, in part, the maximum contaminant
levels permitted by the U.S. EPA and WHO. In 98% of 206 analytical results applied to MAMDI, one or more of the four metals
(Al, Zn, Cu, or Cd) used in AMDI were replaced by Mn, Ni, As, Pb, Tl, CN, and Be, while 63% had two or more replaced. A scatter
diagram shows that in general, MAMDI is lower than AMDI when the total score is less than 50 and greater when the score is
more than 50. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to produce a ferric sulphate rich solution from acidic coal mine drainage that could be used as coagulant.
Precipitating the iron at pH 3.8, followed by dissolution in sulphuric acid, produced a coagulant consisting of 12.4% iron
and 1.3% aluminium. Water treatment tests proved that this coagulant was as efficient as the coagulant chemicals conventionally
used in water treatment plants. The process can be easily incorporated into conventional AMD treatment plants, thereby reducing
sludge waste issues and producing a valuable chemical reagent. 相似文献
