| Abstract |
Acid formation in a mine cavity can be prevented by keeping water (one of the reactants) out of the mine. This might be accomplished by forming a waterproof seal over the mine cavity to prevent the seepage of surface water into the mine. In laboratory tests using reconstructed soil columns, rubber latex showed good sealing efficiency. The ideal situation in which latex would coagulate in a narrow zone two to three feet below the surface by reacting with acidic or metallic constituents of the soil was not attained. Rather, in field tests the latex was deposited progressively. Latex stability appears to be a more critical property than latex particle size in controlling penetration. Addition of excess anionic surfactants to latex improved its penetration into the soil. Costs are discussed. |
