Abstract In the paper the contaminants that may be generated in Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) process were listed and include mainly mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, heavy metals, cyanides, ammonium, chloride and sulphate. As a method of UCG contaminated groundwater treatment a Permeable Reactive Barrier technology was proposed. To assess the effectiveness of this technology two tests were carried out. Granulated activated carbon (GAC) and zeolite, and granulated activated carbon and scrap iron were applied in the first and second test respectively. For these materials the hydro geological parameters called reactive material parameters were determined and discussed. The results of the experiments showed that GAC seems to be the most effective material for phenols, BTX, PAH, cyanides and slightly lowers ammonia removal, while zeolites and scrap iron removed free cyanide, ammonia and heavy metals respectively.

In this paper, a batch experiment was conducted to evaluate the water quality obtained from using pervious concrete (PERVC) technology to treat acid mine drainage (AMD). The study proposes an innovative application of PERVC as a permeable reactive barrier liner in evaporation ponds. The effectiveness of PERVC adsorbent in removing heavy metals was compared with that of zero-valent iron (ZVI) of particle size 1.0 to 1.8 mm. The AMD used in the study was obtained from abandoned gold and coal mines. PERVC mixtures consisted of granite aggregate and ordinary Portland cement CEM I 52.5R (CEM I) or CEM I containing Class F 30% fly ash (30%FA) as a cement replacement material. ZVI was prepared from a mixture of silica sand and iron grit of specific sizes. PERVC and ZVI media were used to conduct batch reactor tests with AMD, for a period of 43 days at a ratio of 1 L of reactive material to 3 L of AMD. The quality of treated AMD was compared against effluent discharge standards. The contaminants Al, Fe and Zn were effectively removed by both PERVC and ZVI. Also, both adsorbents reduced Ni, Co and Cu to levels below those measured in raw AMD. However, PERVC was more effective in removing Mn and Mg while ZVI was ineffective. Although PERVC removed more heavy metals and with greater efficiency than ZVI, the PERVC-treated water showed high pH levels and exhibited elevated Cr6+ concentrations, owing to leaching from the cement and fly ash materials used in PERVC mixtures.

Slovakia holds 4th to 5th postition in the world with respect to supplies and mining output of magnesite. The most important product of natural magnesite processing is magnesia. While dead-burnt magnesia is uded to producing basic refractory materials for metallurgy and cement industry, caustic calcined magnesia (CCM) founds new applications in industries, agriculture and environment protection. Use of CCM, due to its alkaline nature, as a reactive material for remediation of wastewaters, can provide all advantages of methods based on neuralization (pH adjustment) by lime. In tihis study, CCM was experimentally tested as a reactive material for the removal of cations Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ from wastewaters. The effect of chemical composition of model wastewaters tested and water-to.CCM weight ratio were investigated. The results have shown that CCM is a suitable material for the removal of heavy metals, especially copper, zinc and nicel, from acidic contaminated water. The efficienty of cation removal up to 100% has been observed.

Accumulation of Cu and Pb by Alisma plantago-aquatica L. plants under laboratory conditions on separate solutions (3 MPC) and changes in the content of heavy metals (HM) when placed on distilled water (control) were studied. The phytoremediation potential of Alisma plantago-aquatica, taken from different stations, is assessed: from conditionally clean habitat located in the middle course of Yagorba river (Cherepovets region) and from conditionally polluted habitat located on the bank of Serovka river within Cherepovets city. It is established that irrespective of what stations are taken plants of Alisma plantago-aquatica, they actively accumulate heavy metals, but plants from conditionally clean habitat accumulate more. More effective in the purification of water from heavy metals is Alisma plantago-aquatica from conditionally clean habitat. Alisma plantago-aquatica specimens from different areas are capable of excretion of Cu and Pb ions, the leaves being the most important in this. Alisma has a good phytoremediation potential and is suitable for inclusion in the composition of bioplato to clean the water of small rivers from Cu and Pb.
