Acid tolerance of an acid mine drainage bioremediation system based on biological sulfate reduction.
The acid tolerance response of an AMD bioremediation system based on sulfate reduction was investigated. Efficient sulfate reduction was observed with a maximum sulfate reduction rate of 12.3±0.8 mg L(-1) d(-1) and easily available organic carbon was released during high acid treatment with an initial pH of 2.0. The rapid increase in sulfate reduction was observed when the extreme acid treatmen...
متن کاملComparison of Inocula Applied in the Remediation of Acid Mine Drainage by Sulfate Reduction
Sulfate-reducing permeable reactive zones (PRZs), such as anaerobic wetlands, sulfate-reducing bioreactors, and permeable reactive barriers, are an attractive means of passively treating mining influenced waters contaminated with heavy metals. While the low cost and maintenance requirements are significant advantages of PRZs, the lack of clear design criteria is a disadvantage. It is not known ...
متن کاملBioremediation by Sulfate Reducing Bacteria of Acid Mine Drainage
Mining activity produces metal sulfide wastes particularly pyrite which remain in the mine long after operations cease. When water percolates through a mine where oxygen is present, a series of chemical reactions occur which produce extremely low pH and high concentrations of toxic sulfate and metal ions. This toxic leachate can cause severe aquatic habitat degradation downstream of the mine. T...
متن کاملPreventing acid mine drainage from mine tailings
Mining activity always has high impact on its surroundings, being waste deposition the cause of multiple and complex problems to the environment. One of them is Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), causing acid water percolation through large areas in the mine site. Portugal was a prosper tungsten producer from the beginning of the XX century, having its apogee during World War II. Nowadays there are mill...
متن کاملAcid Mine drAinAge (AMd) MAnAgeMent
AMd is recognized as one of the most serious environmental problem in the mining industry. the problem of acid mine drainage (AMd) has been present since mining activity began thousands of years ago. Mining activity has disrupted the hydrology of mining areas so badly that it is extremely difficult to predict where water would eventually re-emerge. its causes, treatment have become the focus of...
