Analysis 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 کاملA review of acidity generation and consumption in acidic coal mine lakes and their watersheds.
Lakes developing in former coal mine pits are often characterized by high concentrations of sulfate and iron and low pH. The review focuses on the causes for and fate of acidity in these lakes and their watersheds. Acidification is primarily caused by the generation of ferrous iron bearing and mineralized groundwater, transport through the groundwater-surface water interface, and subsequent iro...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملPit lakes as an end use of mining: A review
Theoretical review of ‘mining pit lakes’ indicates that like natural lakes such lakes display a huge diversity. They are typically in a non-equilibrium state with respect to their surroundings. Hence, at the decommissioning phase of mining operation a detailed technical study are required on different aspects of such created water bodies considering its morphometry, geology, hydrology, water qu...
متن کاملStructure and function of the microbial community in an in situ reactor to treat an acidic mine pit lake.
Sulfate-reducing bioreactors are a promising option for the treatment of acid mine drainage. We studied the structure and function of a biofilm in a methanol-fed fixed-bed in-lake reactor for the treatment of an acidic pit lake by a combination of laboratory incubations, chemical and molecular analyses and confocal laser scanning microscopy to determine whether competition by different groups o...
