Contents Notes A two-phase study, involving both laboratory and field investigations, has demonstrated the feasibility of using reverse osmosis to provide potable water from acid mine drainage. The laboratory investigations involved the determination of methods for controlling iron fouling and the selection of a process flow sheet. During the field test, the process developed in Phase I was used to treat acid mine drainage from an underground abandoned anthracite coal mine. Treatment prior to reverse osmosis consisted of filtration (10 microns) followed by ultraviolet light disinfection. Brine from the RO unit was treated by neutralization, oxidation, and settling. Results obtained indicated that membrane fouling due to iron was satisfactorily controlled, but calcium sulfate fouling limited the recovery of product water to about 75%. Product water was of potable quality in all respects except for iron, manganese, and pH. Calcium sulfate precipitate on the RO membrane was successfully removed using a solution of ammoniated citric acid at pH 8.
