The Historical Use Of Mine-Drainage And Pyrite-Oxidation Waters In Central And Eastern England, United Kingdom

Phosphorus removal performance of acid mine drainage from wastewater

“…When AMD is used as coagulants, it will have different coagulation performance and resultant heavy metal concentration in effluent. For example, AMD was used as coagulant in sewage treatment in Derbyshire [10] and in flocculation process of potable water treatment for treatment of surface water from Langsett reservoir [11], and pumped into sewage-impacted river to support amenity value of watercourse [9]. AMD was developed for P removal from municipal wastewater directly, and most of the heavy metal concentrations of the treated water and the sludge were below the standards [12].…”

Mining Impacts on the Fresh Water Environment: Technical and Managerial Guidelines for Catchment Scale Management

“…The impacts can be beneficial. For instance, some mine waters are of good enough quality that they can be used for public supply (Banks et al 1996). Beneficial impacts are noncontentious, and thus require little further discussion.…”

Waste Water in Mines and Status of Utilization.

“…Globally all coal, ore and metal mines discharging huge amount of mine waste water which can be effectively utilized in different purposes (Banks et al, 1996, Wolkersdorfer, 2008, direct ally or indirect ally after small treatment. Although mining activities also required water for different mining operations and its related activities e.g.…”
