Permeable reactive barriers designed to enhance bacterial sulfate reduction and metal sulfide precipitation have the potential to prevent acid mine drainage and the associated release of dissolved metals. Two column experiments were conducted using simulated mine-drainage water to assess the performance of organic carbon-based reactive mixtures under controlled groundwater flow conditions. The simulated mine drainage is typical of mine-drainage water that has undergone acid neutralization within aquifers. This water is near neutral in pH and contains elevated concentrations of Fe(II) and SO4. Minimum rates Of SO4 removal averaged between 500 and 800 mmol d(-1) M-3 over a 14-month period. Iron concentrations decreased from between 300 and 1200 mg/L in the influent to between <0.01 and 220 mg/L in the columns. Concentrations of Zn decreased from 0.6-1.2 mg/L in the input to between 0.01 and 0.15 mg/L in the effluent, and Ni concentrations decreased from between 0.8 and 12.8 mg/L to <0.01 mg/L. The pH increased slightly from typical input values of 5.5-6.0 to effluent values of 6.5-7.0. Alkalinity, generally <50 mg/L (as CaCO3) in the influent, increased to between 300 and 1300 mg/L (as CaCO3) in the effluent from the columns. As a result of decreased Fe(II) concentrations and increased alkalinity, the acid-generating potential of the simulated mine-drain age water was removed,and a net acid-consuming potential was observed in the effluent water.
