PROTOCOL FOR MONITORING AND PREDICTING THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE: SEDIMENT SAMPLING
(Tigroney Press, 2017-05)
Sampling acid mine drainage (AMD) impacted sediments is complex requiring appropriate field sampling techniques to ensure representative samples which are both repeatable and reproducible. This report examines the important ...
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE RIVER AVOCA: Metal Fluxes in Water and Sediment. Part I. Introduction to Metal Accumulation in Riverine Sediments
(Tigroney Press, 2017-05-15)
As part of an extensive study of the environmental impacts of the abandoned CU-S mines at Avoca in County Wicklow in Ireland, extensive studies were made of the river sediments and their toxicity. Originally written in ...
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE RIVER AVOCA: Metal Fluxes in water and sediment. Part II. Metal Contamination of Riverine Sediments
(Tigroney Press, 2017-06-01)
The discharge of acid mine drainage (AMD) from sulphur bearing mineral deposits causes iron to precipitate as hydroxides and the formation of ochreous deposits on the substrate of the receiving river system. The sediments ...
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, 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 ...
