Leaching Induced Changes in Substrate and Solution Chemistry of Mine Soil Microcosms

Leaching of soluble salts formed as the result of pyrite oxidation and primary mineral weathering is a major process in mine soil development. A microcosm experiment was designed to study leaching rates from mine soil columns under controlled laboratory conditions. Objectives of this experiment were to investigate the effect of leaching and the effect of fly ash amelioration on mid- to long-term chemical soil properties, and to test whether the results are qualitatively comparable to long-term field studies along a site chronosequence. The leaching experiment was conducted over a period of 850 days representing a kind of time-lapse picture due to high water fluxes. Leaching resulted in more favourable mid- to long-term properties of mine site topsoils, especially a reduced risk for acidity and salt stress. Ash amelioration decreases leaching rates by increasing pH and Al and Fe precipitation. It could be shown that the results of the column leaching studies are qualitatively in good agreement with field observations at least for long-term considerations. By enhancing the leaching process mid- to long-term chemical soil properties can be estimated.     

MODELING ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON A WATERSHED SCALE FOR TMDL CALCULATIONS1

ABSTRACT: The Cheat River of West Virginia is impaired by acid mine drainage (AMD). Fifty‐five of its river segments were placed on the 303(d) list, which required calculations of total maximum daily load (TMDL) to meet the water quality criteria for pH, total iron, aluminum, manganese, and zinc. An existing watershed model was enhanced to simulate AMD as nonpoint source load. The model divided a watershed into a network of catchments and river segments. Each catchment was divided into soil layers, which could contain pyrite, calcite and other minerals. A kinetic expression was used to simulate pyrite oxidation as a function of oxygen in the soil voids. Oxygen in the soil voids was consumed by pyrite oxidation and replenished by earth breathing. The by‐products of pyrite oxidation were calculated according to its mass action equations. Chemical equilibrium was used to account for the speciation of ferrous and ferric irons and precipitation of metal hydroxides. Simulated hydrology and water quality were compared to available data. The USEPA used the calibrated model to calculate the TMDLs in the Cheat River Watershed.
