Download or read book Sulfate Reduction in Five Constructed Wetlands Receiving Acid Mine Drainage written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructed wetlands have been shown to be effective in treating various types of wastewater. One type, Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), is characterized by high acidity, heavy metals, and sulfate. Five Constructed Wetlands, Friar Tuck, Tecumseh, and Midwestern in southwestern Indiana, and Simco and Wills Creek wetland in Ohio, were studied to determine their treatment efficiencies for sulfate and metal removal. Sulfate Reduction by microorganisms in constructed wetlands can remove sulfate and dissolved metals, and can generate alkalinity. Approximately 100 water samples and 50 soil samples were taken during the winter and summer seasons at the five wetlands and analyzed for sulfate and metal concentrations, sulfur isotope values, pH, Eh, and conductivity. Resulting data indicates that sulfate reduction is occurring at all five wetlands, but varies in degrees of treatment effectiveness. The Friar Tuck wetland shows minimal evidence of sulfate reduction, with dilution being the main remediation mechanism. A small volume of AMD is being overwhelmed by numerous freshwater inputs resulting in a significant improvement in water chemistry due to this dilution. The Tecumseh wetland shows little change in influent/effluent sulfate and sulfide values suggesting that treatment of the influent wastewater by sulfate reduction was ineffective for both sampling seasons. The Midwestern wetland for the summer season shows a significant increase in water sample d 34 S, from -5.03 permil to +0.27 permil with a corresponding drop in sulfate concentrations from 1740 ppm to 831 ppm, demonstrating successful sulfate reduction and wastewater treatment. However, the winter season sampling showed no change in d 34 S, indicating only minor sulfate reduction, but sulfate concentrations still fell from 1740 ppm to 831 ppm, indicating an additional sulfate removal process. The Wills Creek wetland shows little change in influent/effluent sulfate concentrations and sulfur isotope values suggesting that sulfate reduction is inactive for both sampling seasons. The Simco wetland was flooded due to beaver constructed damns during our winter sampling and accurate data were not obtained. Summer water sample data show a significant increase in d 34 S, from -3.58 at the influent to +6.26 at the effluent and a corresponding decrease in sulfate concentrations from 640 ppm to 290 ppm, demonstrating successful sulfate reduction trends.

Download or read book Wastewater Treatment in Constructed Wetlands with Horizontal Sub Surface Flow written by Jan Vymazal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetlands have been used for uncontrolled wastewater disposal for centuries. However, the change in attitude towards wetlands during the 1950s and 1960s caused the minimization of the use of natural wetlands for wastewater treatment (at least in developed countries). Constructed wetlands have been used for wastewater treatment for about forty years. Constructed wetland treatment systems are engineered systems that have been designed and constructed to utilize the natural processes for removal of pollutants. They are designed to take advantage of many of the same processes that occur in natural wetlands, but do so within a more controlled environment. The aim of this book is to summarize the knowledge on horizontal s- surface flow constructed wetlands (HF CWs) and objectively evaluate their treatment efficiency under various conditions. The information on this type of wastewater treatment technology is scattered in many publications but a comprehensive summary based on world-wide experience has been lacking. The book provides an extensive overview of this treatment technology around the world, including examples from more than 50 countries and examples of various types of wastewater treated in HF CWs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book allows readers to grasp both the fundamentals and the latest technological advances in the field of mine drainage, which is increasingly crucial both environmentally and economically. Its extensive coverage of current and promising passive treatment technologies, combined with numerous practical guides, makes it an indispensable tool for early researchers seeking promising trends and identifying gaps. The book systematically explores recent literature on passive treatment research, classifying them as preventative, in-situ, and ex-situ solutions. It covers relevant passive treatments such as permeable reactive barriers, constructed wetlands, gravel bed reactors, saturated rock fills, and passivation techniques, among other common source control tactics. Each technology is discussed in terms of principal mechanisms, state-of-the-art technological advances, advantages and disadvantages, and suitability for a given mine drainage chemistry and flow regime. The book provides a comprehensive view of the entire field, offering researchers and policymakers a reference guide, research ideas, understanding, and practical applications for each technology. Furthermore, the contains an overview of recent trends in material selection for passive treatment applications, primarily through the use of industrial waste and by-products, which incorporate more sustainable practices in mine drainage remediation. Uniquely, the manuscript includes a flowchart based on water chemistry and flow rates to guide readers to ideal treatment options, along with written analysis to further support the readers’ decision-making. Overall, this equips early researchers in the field with knowledge of fundamentals and promising research routes when dealing with different mine drainage complexities while also providing them with promising research avenues that can advance the field further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes the results and conclusions gained from the three demonstration projects. The paper concentrates on the characteristics of the processed material, equipment production, and the cost of the operation. Samples taken from windrows during the crushing operation were tested to determine hardness and gradations before and after crushing. The test results are included in the appendix. Cost varied from $6.38 to $18.83 per cubic yard, including roadbed preparation, crushing and blading. Rocks and boulders to‍?16-inch (406 millimeter) maximum size were crushed. The processed material has a maximum size of 2 to 3 inches (50 to 75 millimeters).‍?The product produced by the crusher offers a viable alternative for aggregate on a road surface, particularly as a road surface cushion material, where the quality and expense of standard crushed aggregate are not warranted.
