Abstract. Leachate water quality from covered and uncovered unoxidised sulphide-rich tailings in six pilot-scale (5x5x3 m 3) test cells was monitored during 2004 and 2005. The covers consisted of a layer of clayey till, sewage sludge, apatite or
Trisoplast (a commercial mixture of tailings, bentonite, and a polymer). All layers were protected by an unspecified till
except in one reference cell, where the tailings were left open. All leachate waters showed near-neutral pH as a result of
neutralization by calcite in the tailings and by Ca(OH) 2 added prior to deposition. Average dissolved sulphur concentrations in the leachates were ≈ 600 mg L -1, except in the cell with sewage sludge (300 mg L -1). The source of sulphur was mainly pyrite oxidation, but residual sulphur probably remained from the enrichment process.
The near-neutral pH favoured precipitation of metal-(oxy)hydroxides with subsequent removal of trace elements such as Cd,
Cu and Pb (< 15 μg L -1) from the solutions. High concentrations of Co, Mn, Ni, and Zn were found in leachates from the apatite, Trisoplast, and
uncovered tailings cells. High As concentrations were found in the leachates in the sewage sludge and clayey till cells. The
lowest metal concentrations, redox potential, and highest pH were found in the sewage sludge cell. Decreased elemental metal
concentrations during 2004 suggest improved performance over time. 相似文献

This work investigates the use of oxidative acid eluents for the elution of base metals from strong base ion exchange resins. Eluents composed of a mixture of H 2O 2 and H 2SO 4 were tested for eluting base metals from resins loaded with mixtures of base and precious metal cyanides. This process removed 100% of Cu and Zn loaded on the resin, without affecting the precious metal loading. It was found that copper could be removed separately from the other base metals. The elution technique was not effective for removing iron from the resin. Cyanide associated with base metals was recovered as NaCN. Some oxidation of cyanide was noticed, subject to the elution conditions.This oxidative acid elution process could be used in commercial operations for the selective elution of base metals from a strong base ion exchange resin bed operating in alternative adsorption/base metal elution cycles. Thus, virtually all metal cyanide species could be recovered from cyanide leached solutions or slurries to give relatively clean tailings without compromising precious metal recovery efficiency. The process also caters for cyanide recovery and recycling. 相似文献

The feasibility of inoculating coal mine waste piles with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) to prevent the production of acidic leachates containing sulfate and metal contaminants was evaluated in batch and column bioreactors. The results showed that SRB growth and activity could be attained in the presence of acidic (pH 4.5) coal mine waste using lactate or ethanol as a carbon source, while no obvious growth was found at pH <3.5. Inoculation of coal mine waste in batch reactors with lactate or ethanol as a carbon source resulted in efficient neutralization and high removal of sulfate and metals. Similar results were attained in dynamic-flow columns inoculated with SRB. SEM-EDS analysis of the precipitates showed iron sulfide to be the main component. This study indicates that SRB could possibly be used to prevent or limit acidic drainage from coal mine waste piles. 相似文献

Abstract. The Lexington tunnel is the last accessible underground mine working in the Butte, Montana mining district. Used as recently
as 1993, the tunnel and adjacent workings have been abandoned for over 10 years. Although the Lexington tunnel is over 200
m above the regional water table, perched water is present over much of its extent. Mine water near the portal is moderately
acidic (pH 4 to 5), with extremely high concentrations of metals, including Cu (up to 1000 mg/L) and Zn (up to 1400 mg/L).
In the middle reaches of the tunnel, the quality of the water is much better, with near-neutral pH, high bicarbonate alkalinity,
and lower concentrations of heavy metals. The low acidity and metal content is attributed to a lack of pyrite and other sulfides
in this portion of the mine, as well as the presence of carbonate minerals, such as rhodochrosite (MnCO 3), in exposed veins. Sulfide minerals are more widespread further back in the tunnel, and are now oxidizing rapidly, leading
to pockets of severe acid drainage (pH< 3, dissolved Zn up to 5000 mg/L).
Geochemical modeling suggests that the near-neutral waters—the most voluminous type encountered in the Lexington tunnel—are
close to equilibrium saturation with rhodochrosite and hydrous Zn-carbonate (ZnCO 3•H 2O). The Eh of these waters is most likely controlled by redox reactions involving dissolved Mn 2+ and secondary, Zn-rich, hydrous Mn-oxides. In contrast, the Eh of the acidic waters appears to be controlled by reactions
involving Fe 2+ and Fe 3+. Most of the acidic waters are saturated with K-jarosite, which forms delicate, straw-like dripstones at several localities.
Decaying mine timbers could be an important renewable source of organic carbon for heterotrophic microorganisms, such as iron-
and sulfate-reducing bacteria, especially deeper in the mine workings where the ground is saturated with anoxic ground water. 相似文献

The abandoned Zgounder Mine (Morocco) was exploited for Ag from 1982 to 1990 and generated nearly 490,000 t of mill tailings before it was closed without being reclaimed. The tailings contain low concentrations of sulfide (mainly as pyrite, sphalerite, and galena) and carbonates (mainly dolomite). Silicates (muscovite, albite, chlorite, labradorite, actinolite, and orthoclase) occur in high concentrations. The most abundant trace elements are As, Ti, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Pb. We studied the geochemical behavior of the mine wastes to identify the main factors controlling drainage water chemistry. Particular emphasis was put on sorption phenomena to explain the low As concentrations in the leachates despite significant As levels in the tailings. Weathering cell tests carried out on various tailings produced two types of contaminated drainage: acidic and neutral. The kinetic test leachates contained high concentrations of some contaminants, including As (0.8 mg L ?1), Co (11 mg L ?1), Cu (34 mg L ?1), Fe (70 mg L ?1), Mn (126 mg L ?1), and Zn (314 mg L ?1). Acidity and contaminants in the leachates were controlled by dissolution of soluble salts and Fe hydrolysis rather than sulfide oxidation. Batch sorption tests quantified the significance of As sorption, and sequential extraction showed that most of the As sorption was associated with the reducible fractions (Fe and Mn oxides and oxyhydroxides). 相似文献

采用柱状淋溶模拟试验,分析添加粉煤灰防治煤矸石酸性和重金属污染的效果及机理.结果表明:煤矸石淋溶液具有典型的酸性矿山废水特征.在粉煤灰处理中,淋溶液的pH值呈中性或微碱性,重金属浓度显著下降.这主要是因为:① 粉煤灰促进了Fe等氢氧化物沉淀和多种重金属的共沉淀;② 生成的Fe沉淀具有包被作用,阻隔黄铁矿的氧化;③ 碱性环境抑制了氧化亚铁硫杆菌的生长和对黄铁矿的微生物催化氧化.研究表明,粉煤灰直接覆盖可以明显地抑制煤矸石中硫化物的氧化并提高煤矸石淋溶液的水质. 相似文献

This study focused on acid neutralization reactions and the effects of water composition on the release and mobility of metals from mine tailings. The aims of this study were to: investigate leaching of metals from neutral mine tailings, determine the factors responsible for metal leaching, and investigate potential metal filtering by the soil. Tailings and soil samples were collected from an iron mine and analyzed. Equilibrium thermodynamic data and metal fractionation were then used to predict precipitation/dissolution of minerals and ion adsorption/desorption. Three column experiments were designed. The first column was filled with tailings, while the second column contained tailings above a layer of soil; both were leached with distilled water as rainfall. The third column was packed with soil and percolated with synthetic groundwater. The results indicated that iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) mobility are mainly controlled by precipitation–dissolution mechanisms, while sorption onto oxides and carbonates limit the mobility of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni). Cadmium (Cd) and manganese (Mn) mobility are affected by both mechanisms. Water discharging from column 3 (soil washed with groundwater) contained high concentrations of dissolved metals, indicating that water composition played an important role in metal mobility. Buffering minerals like carbonates and hornblende, chlorite, and albite decreased acid generation. 相似文献

Solvent extraction of Hf(IV) from acidic chloride solutions has been carried out with PC-88A as an extractant. Increase of acid concentration decreases the percentage extraction of metal indicating the ion exchange type mechanism. The plot of log D vs log[extractant], M is linear with slope 1.8 indicating the association of two moles of extractant with the extracted metal species. Plot of log D vs log[H +] gave a straight line with a negative slope of ∼2 indicating the exchange of two moles of hydrogen ions for every mole of Hf(IV). The effect of Cl − ion concentration at constant concentration of [H +] did not show any change in D values. Addition of sodium salts enhanced the percentage extraction of metal and follows the order NaSCN > NaCl > NaNO 3 ∼ Na 2SO 4. Stripping of metal from the loaded organic (LO) with different acids indicated sulphuric acid as the best stripping agent. Regeneration and recycling capacity of PC-88A, temperature, extraction behavior of associated elements was studied. 相似文献

A novel, alternative method for acid rock drainage (ARD) remediation and metal recovery has been developed that uses a peat-humic agent (PHA) created by mechanical, chemical, and thermobaric treatment of peat from the Krugloe deposit (Novosibirsk region, Russia). The PHA effectively neutralised moderately acidic ARD and removed potential pollutants (e.g. Fe, Al, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Co, and Hg), forming metal–organic residues. The organic matter can be removed completely from the metal–organic residues by heating them at 450–500 °C. After this treatment, the metal concentrate residues generally contained aggregates (20–350 μm in size), mainly composed of metal oxides and sulphates. Thermal decomposition of the organic matter in the PHA and metal–organic residues is an exothermic process with significant calorific value (9–15 kJ/g). 相似文献

Pyrrhotite tailings at the abandoned Kettara mine site in Morocco are producing acid mine drainage (AMD). We investigated
the use of alkaline phosphate waste (APW) rock from a nearby operating open-pit phosphate mine to control the AMD. The neutralizing
potential of the APW, using the Paktunc method, was estimated between 500 and 680 kg CaCO 3/t. In laboratory column tests, the addition of 15 wt% APW to the coarse Kettara tailings produced leachates with significantly
lower acidities and metal concentrations than unamended controls. The high calcium concentration in the flushed solutions
indicates that calcite was responsible for the neutralization. Dolomite dissolution seems to be negligible and fluorapatite
was stable under the testing conditions. It was also observed that when the treated solution comes in contact with unweathered
Kettara coarse tailings, the pH becomes acidic, although the metal concentrations remain low. 相似文献

From 1942 to the 1966, oil was produced by pyrolysis of shale, in Kvarntorp, Sweden. This generated some 40 million m 3 of metal rich pyrolyzed shale and discarded fines that were piled on site with its original metal content almost intact. The present study focuses on the leaching of vanadium, manganese, iron and molybdenum from fines after addition of wood chips and steel slag, in outdoor 1 m 3 reactor systems at low liquid to solid ratio, in order to evaluate the potential environmental impact and recovery of the elements from the leachates. Seasonal variations were observed, with increased leaching during peak summer. For vanadium and molybdenum, high addition of wood chips decreased the leaching, probably due to adsorption. Manganese showed the opposite behavior while leaching of iron was almost independent of the amount of wood chips. Depending on the systems, up to 2200 μg L −1 vanadium, 90 μg L −1 molybdenum, 25 mg L −1 manganese and 500 mg L −1 iron was found in the aqueous phase. Applied to the 40 million m 3 pile, the annual leaching of those elements may reach 14 ton, 0.6 ton, 200 ton and 2400 ton, respectively. 相似文献

Current passive treatment systems for metal removal from sulphate-rich mine-influenced water, such as biochemical reactors and permeable reactive barriers, are based on a one-time application of a solid waste organic matrix. These are prone to declining efficiency and reliability as the carbon source is depleted over time. Also, in many of these systems, metal sulphide precipitates are retained in situ, creating a legacy liability on the mine site. A novel hybrid passive/active treatment system was designed to overcome these shortcomings by supplying a liquid nutrient source derived in a separate upstream step through fermentation of waste organic material, and by carrying out sulphidogenesis and chemical metal precipitation in two separate packed-bed column reactors, in which sulphide is fed back from the bioreactor into the upstream metal sulphide precipitation reactor. A separate metal precipitation module will enable eventual removal of the metals from the mine site. Liquid fermentation products from a woodchip/hay-grass mixture were compared with molasses as nutrient sources. The systems were tested for a duration of 96 days, demonstrating that the tested liquid carbon sources reduced sulphate at maximum rates of 41.2 and 28.7 mg-SO42?L?1 d?1, respectively, and removed 85% and 90% Zn, respectively, in the chemical precipitation step, making it possible to remove these from the mine site for recycling. 相似文献
