Book excerpt: Provides the tools needed to analyze and solve acid drainage problems Featuring contributions from leading experts in science and engineering, this book explores the complex biogeochemistry of acid mine drainage, rock drainage, and acid sulfate soils. It describes how to predict, prevent, and remediate the environmental impact of acid drainage and the oxidation of sulfides, offering the latest sampling and analytical methods. Moreover, readers will discover new approaches for recovering valuable resources from acid mine drainage, including bioleaching. Acid Mine Drainage, Rock Drainage, and Acid Sulfate Soils reviews the most current findings in the field, offering new insights into the underlying causes as well as new tools to minimize the harm of acid drainage: Part I: Causes of Acid Mine Drainage, Rock Drainage and Sulfate Soils focuses on the biogeochemistry of acid drainage in different environments. Part II: Assessment of Acid Mine Drainage, Rock Drainage and Sulfate Soils covers stream characterization, aquatic and biological sampling, evaluation of aquatic resources, and some unusual aspects of sulfide oxidation. Part III: Prediction and Prevention of Acid Drainage discusses acid-base accounting, kinetic testing, block modeling, petrology, and mineralogy studies. It also explains relevant policy and regulations. Part IV: Remediation of Acid Drainage, Rock Drainage and Sulfate Soils examines both passive and active cleanup methods to remediate acid drainage. Case studies from a variety of geologic settings highlight various approaches to analyzing and solving acid drainage problems. Replete with helpful appendices and an extensive list of web resources, Acid Mine Drainage, Rock Drainage, and Acid Sulfate Soils is recommended for mining engineers and scientists, regulatory officials, environmental scientists, land developers, and students.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Harris (LH), a 220-acre reservoir constructed in 1929, is a primary source of water for industry and the tertiary source for drinking water. Between 1969 and 1976, shallow coal seams hosted by the Pottsville Formation were strip mined and left abandoned without reclamation until 1986. For over a decade, sediment erosion and acid mine drainage (AMD) damaged the aquatic ecosystem of LH stream. Despite reclamation in 1986, LH Stream still shows visible signs of AMD impacts. This research used geochemical analysis to evaluate the impact of legacy mining on the processes and controls affecting LH Stream. LH Stream water data indicated that AMD impacts resulted in elevated levels of dissolved sulfate, chloride, Al, Ba, Ca, Co, Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni and Sr when compared to the CCW Stream and Lake Harris Lake Water (LHLW) samples. Additionally, the presence of iron-rich precipitates observed on the stream bed was confirmed by XRD and MWD analyses of the stream sediments, further supporting the presence of the AMD generation processes in the watershed. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified two principal components that make up a combined 73.2 percent of the total variance in the dataset. Principal Component 1 (PC-1) being strongly associated with AMD impacts and PC-2 being identified as a function of temperature and meteoric influences. Relationships between LH Stream water and GW samples with respect to PC-1 provides evidence that LH Stream receives GW during the wetter months. With respect to PC-2, the chemistry of CCW Stream and LHLW samples was strongly correlated with that ofivmeteoric water, indicating that CCW Stream is predominantly fed by precipitation and surface runoff.Data confirms that AMD still impact LH Stream due to oxidation of sulfide-bearing minerals within the poorly reclaimed Pottsville Formation mine spoil. Acidic conditions have resulted in the mobility of elements within the stream water discharging into Lake Harris. Upon reaching Lake Harris, the stream water mixes with lake water to further dilute trace element concentrations to levels at which acute impacts are minimized. However, chronic risks such as bioaccumulation were not assessed as a part of this study.
Download or read book Trace Elements in Soils written by Peter Hooda and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-04-13 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trace elements occur naturally in soils and some are essential nutrients for plant growth as well as human and animal health. However, at elevated levels, all trace elements become potentially toxic. Anthropogenic input of trace elements into the natural environment therefore poses a range of ecological and health problems. As a result of their persistence and potential toxicity, trace elements continue to receive widespread scientific and legislative attention. Trace Elements in Soils reviews the latest research in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of the chemistry, analysis, fate and regulation of trace elements in soils, as well as remediation strategies for contaminated soil. The book is divided into four sections: • Basic principles, processes, sampling and analytical aspects: presents an overview including general soil chemistry, soil sampling, analysis, fractionation and speciation. • Long-term issues, impacts and predictive modelling: reviews major sources of metal inputs, the impact on soil ecology, trace element deficient soils and chemical speciation modelling. • Bioavailability, risk assessment and remediation: discusses bioavailability, regulatory limits and cleanup technology for contaminated soils including phytoremediation and trace element immobilization. • Characteristics and behaviour of individual elements Written as an authoritative guide for scientists working in soil science, geochemistry, environmental science and analytical chemistry, the book is also a valuable resource for professionals involved in land management, environmental planning, protection and regulation.
