Biological sulfate removal using waste organic substrates in continuous flow-through columns simulating mine water vertical flow bioreactors
Ingendorf, J.D. (2020)In mine water passive treatment systems, biological sulfate (SO42-) reduction in vertical flow bioreactors (VFBRs) is often utilized to precipitate trace metals as metal sulfides and to generate alkalinity. Sulfate removal ... -
QUANTIFYING HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY IN MINE DRAINAGE PASSIVE TREATMENT SYSTEM VERTICAL FLOW BIOREACTORS
Page, Bryan J. (2016-12)Heavy industrial mining has occurred in the United States for more than 100 years, and in many cases, has led to large-scale environmental degradation, especially from historical operations where mining occurred prior to ... -
The Role of Solar-Powered Float-Mix Aerators on Iron Retention in Passive Treatment Oxidation Ponds
Dorman, Dayton (2019-12)In passive treatment of net-alkaline mine drainage, oxidation ponds are typically the primary process unit designed to promote iron oxidation, hydrolysis, and precipitation. Iron oxidation kinetics can be accelerated by ...
