AN OBJECTIVE INDEX FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE CONTAMINATION OF SURFACE AND GROUND WATERS BY ACID MINE DRAINAGE
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 22, 1995-07 (reissued 2017-08)Temporal and spatial comparisons of acid mine drainage (AMD) contaminated waters are difficult due to the complex physico-chemical nature of the pollutant. An objective index has been developed and evaluated for assessment ... -
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE AVOCA RIVER: Acute Toxicity Experiments in the Field Using Macro-invertebrates
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-06-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 18, 1994-11-1 (reissued 2017-06-08)Field toxicity experiments were conducted in the Avoca River (Ireland) during August and September 1994 in order to evaluate the toxicity of acid mine drainage (AMD) to a number of selected macro-invertebrate species. The ... -
INFLUENCE OF POSSIBLE SECONDARY SULPHATE MINERALIZATION ON THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE TO SURFACE WATERS
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-06-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 16, 1995-02-01 (reissued 2017-06-08)Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major environmental pollutant of both surface and ground waters. Intensive sampling of drainage from mine adits has revealed a seasonal variation in the Zn:Cu ratio. This is linked to secondary ... -
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE AVOCA RIVER: Metal Fluxes in Water and Sediment. Part III. Metals in Water and Suspended Particulate Matter.
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-06-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 21, 1, 1995-04-01 (reissued 2017-06-08)Water and suspended particulate matter (SPM) was collected at weekly intervals during low flow conditions from the Avoca River (May and August, 1994). The total concentration of Zn, Cu, Cd and Fe was measured in both the ... -
FIELD ASSESSMENT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE CONTAMINATION IN SURFACE AND GROUND WATERS
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-06-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 14, 1, 1995-01-01 (reissued 2017-06-08)Both sulphate and conductivity are excellent indicators of AMD contamination. This is due to sulphate being an end product of pyrite oxidation. Unlike pH, they are both extremely sensitive to AMD even where large dilutions ...
