Acid mine drainage Passive treatment sulfur reducing bacteria sulfur reduction alkalinity production constructed wetland metals sludge mass balance <p>This paper describes a nineteen month case study of a fouling successive alkalinity producing system (SAPS) treating a strong acid mine drainage (AMD) source in Coshocton County, Ohio. Average water quality characteristics of the primary source were: pH 3.85, 30 mg/L aluminum, 111 mg/L iron, and 370 mg/L acidity as CaCO3. Prior to the commencement of the study, a large volume of black amorphous sludge had accumulated in one of two aerobic wetlands. The sludge was found to be organic in nature, with high concentrations of sulfur and iron. Comprehensive water quality analysis and flow measurement enabled a thorough performance assessment and mass balance analysis. The investigation revealed that large amounts of metals were accumulating within the underdrain system, alkalinity production was decreasing, and sulfur reducing bacteria were contributing significant amounts of alkalinity to the system. General conclusions and suggestions regarding passive AMD treatment systems are provided.</p> 2007-04-20 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1173151741 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1173151741 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
