The Acidic Lignite Pit-lakes of Germany-microcosm Experiments on Acidity Removal through Controlled Eutrophication
Pit lakes in the Lausitz lignite mining district of Germany are diverse in size and morphometry. Many are extremely acidic with pH ≤ 3 and high in iron concentrations. Productivity in most of the mining lakes is generally low and they support only simple food webs; a few of the acidic lakes, with high nutrient concentrations, are highly productive. State planners hope to develop the lake region...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Potential for Use of Floating Photovoltaic Systems on Mine Pit Lakes: Case Study at the Ssangyong Open-Pit Limestone Mine in Korea
Recently, the mining industry has introduced renewable energy technologies to resolve power supply problems at mines operating in polar regions or other remote areas, and to foster substitute industries, able to benefit from abandoned sites of exhausted mines. However, little attention has been paid to the potential placement of floating photovoltaic (PV) systems operated on mine pit lakes beca...
متن کاملPit Latrine Additives: Laboratory and Field Trials
Pit latrines are on-site sanitation systems for accumulation and stabilization of faecal matter, urine and probably some other materials added to the system over a certain period of time. However, the process of anaerobic decomposition of materials in pit latrines is slow, resulting into build up of organic waste, odour production and fly nuisance which could pose significant risks to public he...
متن کاملMetagenomic investigation of the microbial diversity in a chrysotile asbestos mine pit pond, Lowell, Vermont, USA
Here we report on a metagenomics investigation of the microbial diversity in a serpentine-hosted aquatic habitat created by chrysotile asbestos mining activity at the Vermont Asbestos Group (VAG) Mine in northern Vermont, USA. The now-abandoned VAG Mine on Belvidere Mountain in the towns of Eden and Lowell includes three open-pit quarries, a flooded pit, mill buildings, roads, and > 26 million ...
متن کاملEvaluating remediation alternatives for mine drainage, Little Cottonwood Creek, Utah, USA
The vast occurrence of mine drainage worldwide, documented in descriptive studies, presents a staggering challenge for remediation. Any tool that can move beyond descriptive study and helps to evaluate options for remediation in a way that maximizes improvements to the water quality of streams and minimizes cost of remediation could save valuable resources and time. A reactive solute transport ...
