1. Using static, kinetic and metal mobility procedures to evaluate possibilities of coal waste land disposal at Moatize Mine, Mozambique
Abstract Coal mine waste rocks produced during mining and beneficiation can affect the environment due to land degradation and acid mine drainage generation. However, proper characterization and treatment of mineral processing wastes creates options for safe disposal, enhancing the environmental performance. The aim of this study was to use static and kineti

2. POTENTIAL OF AUTOCHTHONOUS SULFATE-REDUCING MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES FOR TREATING ACID MINE DRAINAGE IN A BENCH-SCALE SULFIDOGENIC REACTOR
Abstract Biological acid mine drainage treatment depends significantly on inoculum origin, pH, COD/sulfate ratio, and carbon source. In this study, the performance and microbial diversity of anaerobic batch reactors used for sulfate reduction was evaluated. A medium COD/sulfate ratio of 1.14 ± 0.10 was used, and the evaluation was performed in two steps: Ph

3. Application of the fundamental parameter method to the assessment of major and trace elements in soil and sediments from Osamu Utsumi uranium mine by WDXRF
Abstract Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF) is a suitable technique for the characterization of contaminated mining sites, providing a quick and reliable screening for areas of significant contamination. This study established and validated a non-destructive methodology for quantitative simultaneous determination of major and minor

4. Pyrite utilization in the carboniferous region of Santa Catarina, Brazil - Potentials, challenges, and environmental advantages
Abstract The main coal seams explored in the coal region of Santa Catarina are Barro Branco (BB) and Bonito (BO). Owing to the association with the mineral matter, the tailings generated in the beneficiation are arranged in disposal areas, and subject to the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of pyrite

5. Effectiveness of Arsenic Co-Precipitation with Fe-Al Hydroxides for Treatment of Contaminated Water
ABSTRACT Wastewater treatment is a challenging problem faced by the mining industry, especially when mine effluents include acid mine drainage with elevated arsenic levels. Iron (hydr)oxides are known to be effective in removal of As from wastewater, and although the resulting compounds are relatively unstable, the presence of structural Al enhances their st

6. ADSORPTION OF MANGANESE FROM ACID MINE DRAINAGE EFFLUENTS USING BONE CHAR: CONTINUOUS FIXED BED COLUMN AND BATCH DESORPTION STUDIES
AbstractIn the present study, continuous fixed bed column runs were carried out in an attempt to evaluate the feasibility of using bone char for the removal of manganese from acid mine drainage (AMD). Tests using a laboratory solution of pure manganese at typical concentration levels were also performed for comparison purposes. The following operating variab

7. Geochemistry of acid mine drainage from a coal mining area and processes controlling metal attenuation in stream waters, southern Brazil
Influência de drenagem ácida sobre a qualidade de água e sedimento foi investigada em uma área de mineração de carvão (sul do Brasil). A drenagem ácida mostrou pH entre 3,2 e 4,6 e elevadas concentrações de sulfato, As e metais, dos quais, Fe, Mn e Zn excederam os limites para emissão de efluentes da legislação brasileira. Arsênio também exced

8. Batch removal of manganese from acid mine drainage using bone char
The present study investigated batch kinetics and the batch equilibrium of manganese removal from acid mine drainage (AMD) using bone char as an adsorbent. Equilibrium tests revealed that the Langmuir-based maximum manganese uptake capacity was 22 mg g-1 for AMD effluents and 20 mg g-1 for laboratory solutions at a pH ranging from 5.5 to 5.7. The pseudo-seco

9. Modelling of acid mine drainage (AMD) in columns
A model is proposed in this paper to describe the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) in leaching columns. The model considers: (i) Water flow through the column, which is calculated using the 1 - D analytic solution of the Richards' equation assuming the existence of a similarity relationship between the water retention function and the water content pro

10. Estimativa simultânea de parâmetros hidráulicos e de transporte em estéreis de mineração de urânio / Simultaneous estimation of hydraulic and transport parameters inwaste rock from uranium mining
The present work aims to simultaneously estimate the hydraulic and transport parameters related to the material of one of the waste rock piles (Waste Rock Pile 4) from the Poços de Caldas uranium mining and milling facility. Before performing the estimation, it was necessary to study the chemical species that are dissolved from this material by the climate

11. Recuperação de urânio de rejeito de mina por meio de lixiviação alcalina / Recovery of uranium from mine wastes by alkaline leaching
Appropriate management of wastes is one of the most important environmental problems, particularly concerning the tailings of mining activities. Interim storage of the tailings at incorrect places pending treatment demands an urgent solution. The Osamu Utsumi Mine located in the city of Caldas, Minas Gerais, has faced such problem. The waste of the mine cons

12. Rejeito de mineração de carvão como adsorvente para remoção da acidez, Fe (III), Al (III) e Mn (II) em drenagem ácida
This study aimed the use of coal mining waste as a new adsorbent for H3O+ and removal of Al (III), Fe (III) and Mn (II) from acid mine drainage. Data from kinetic and equilibrium of the adsorption of H3O+ followed the pseudo second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity of H3O+ was 316 mmol kg-1. The adsorbent removed 100% of Al
