Mine Drainage Control and Treatment Options
Citation:
Butler, B. Mine Drainage Control and Treatment Options. Presented at Region 10 Webinar Workshops (#3) - Hardrock Mine Geochemistry and Hydrology, Cincinnati, OH, March 05, 2013.
Impact/Purpose:
To discuss the formation of mine drainage, suggested mitigation methods, how ions in the drainage change if drainage does not get to the environment, some remedial options for cleanup, and a case study that will evaluate the efficiency of a passive treatment system.
Description:
This presentation is the third in a series of webinars for Region 10's Hardrock Mine Geochemistry and Hydrology Webinar Workshops. It will discuss briefly how mine drainage forms, some suggested mitigation methods, how ions in the drainage change if drainage does get to the environment, and some remedial options for cleanup. Additionally, a case study to evaluate the efficiency of a passive treatment system to both remove ions and ecotoxicity is presented.
