Long-term Performance of Passive Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Systems
State and federal reclamation programs, mining operators, and citizen-based watershed organizations have constructed hundreds of passive systems in the eastern U.S. over the past 20 years to provide reliable, low cost, low maintenance mine water treatment in remote locations. While performance has been reported for individual systems, there has not been a comprehensive evaluation of the perform...
متن کاملHydraulic Conductivity of Geosynthetic Clay Liners to Low-Level Radioactive Waste Leachate
Hydraulic conductivity was evaluated for eight commercially available geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) permeated with leachate characteristic of low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal facilities operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Two of the GCLs (CS and GS) contained conventional sodium bentonite (Na-B). The others contained a bentonite–polymer mixture (CPL, CPH, GPL1, GPL2, an...
متن کاملRole of Microorganisms in Mining: Generation of Acid Rock Drainage and its Mitigation and Treatment
Natural oxidation of sulphide mineral wastes during their disposal and storage at the mining sites may result in generation of acid rock drainage (ARD) that may contain high acidity and high concentrations of dissolved metals and sulphates. Due to its chemical composition, ARD poses potential harm to the environment and significant challenges to many mining industries requiring development and ...
متن کاملFactors affecting hydration of Geosynthetic Clay Liners in landfill applications Facteurs influençant l’hydratation des géosynthétiques bentonitiques dans les applications d'enfouissement
The progression of hydration of Geosynthetic Clay liner (GCL) from underlying subsoil was studied for three GCL products under simulated landfill conditions, before and after being covered by municipal solid waste. GCL hydration is shown to be highly dependent on the GCL manufacturing techniques, the grain size distribution and initial moisture content of the subsoil. The hydration behaviour of...
متن کاملPrediction of long-term slake durability of clay-bearing rocks
A research program was conducted on different clay-bearing rocks selected from the Ilam, Sarpol-e Zahab and Tajarak regions (Iran) to predict their slaking characteristics. The new durability apparatus (nested mesh drums) separates disintegrated particles varying from > 25.4 to < 2 mm as the drums were rotated. On the basis of the particle size distribution, the disintegration ratio (DR) was us...
