This book was released on 2013 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was completed to assess passive treatment methods for mitigation of acid mine drainage (AMD) at a former mine site in British Columbia. The objectives were to determine if suitable passive treatment methods were available, and if concentrations of Cd, Zn, and other key contaminants in groundwater could be reduced to below regulatory standards during bench-scale testing. Biological treatment with sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) was selected, and bench-scale treatment testing was conducted using columns amended with low cost organic sources. Removal of more than 99% Cd, 93% Co, 96 % Cu, 86% Ni and 98% Zn was observed, resulting in metals concentrations in treated effluent consistently lower than applicable groundwater standards. Sustainability attributes of treatment with SRB and the potential to recover valuable metals are discussed, and recommendations for further testing and implementation are provided. Keywords : acid mine drainage, passive treatment, sulphate-reducing bacteria, bioreactor.

Download or read book Potential Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Utilizing Acidophilic Sulfate Reducing Bacteria in an Upflow Bioreactor written by Elise Fay Kittrell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During coal and iron mining, pyrite is often exposed to oxygen, causing acid mine drainage (AMD). Acid mine drainage has characteristic traits of: a rust color, low pH levels (around 3 or 4) and high concentrations of sulfate, metal sulfates and heavy metals. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are often utilized in acid mine drainage treatment by implementing them into biochemical reactors (BCR). As SRB break down various carbon sources, bicarbonate is produced, raising the pH and generating hydrogen sulfide which reacts with numerous metals. This approach can be troublesome, as SRBs do not thrive at low pH levels often associated with AMD. Previous studies have found acidophilic sulfate reducing bacteria (aSRB) able to reduce sulfate and remove metals at pH values as low as 3.25. However these studies often use easily degradable carbon sources like ethanol, lactic acid and glycerol. In the present study, various solid carbon sources at a pH range of 3.0 to 6.0, high and low sulfate concentration, and media that provided either sulfate or iron as an electron acceptor were tested. Of the five carbon sources, sweet potato and horse manure resulted in black precipitate, indicating possible sulfate reduction. To mimic a BCR, column studies were conducted. After flowing pH 3.5 to 4.0 synthetic AMD through the upflow columns for 117 days, pH was raised to between 6.0 and 7.0. Sulfate reduction was evident in one column containing sweet potato and inoculum, but no others were active in this ongoing study. A leading hypothesis is that complete reduction was inhibited by the presence of fermenting bacteria."--Abstract, page iii.

Download or read book Plant Material as Substrate for Sulphate Reduction in Acid Mine Drainage Treatment written by Punyapriya Patel and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acid mine drainage (AMD) contains high concentrations of heavy metals at low pH. Biological treatment using sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has many potential advantages over chemical treatment of the AMD. The benefits of the biological process depend upon the availability of an economical carbon source in the vicinity of the treatment site. Earlier research indicated, contrary to expectations, that plant material was a poor substrate for SRB. In the present research, a single batch reactor, simulating the previous work, was used for both plant fermentation and then sulphate reduction using the plant fermentation products. This reactor failed because of the accumulation of total sulphides to about 700 mg/L which is well above the toxic limit for SRB. A two phase system was then designed to study the effect of the carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio, separately, on plant fermentation and sulphate reduction. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
