Responsible use and effective treatment of mine water are prerequisites of sustainable mining. The behavior of contaminants in mine water evolves in relation to the metastable characteristics of some species, changes related to the mine life cycle, and mixing processes at various scales. In cold climates, water treatment requires adaptation to site-specific conditions, including high flow rates, salinity, low temperatures, remoteness, and sensitivity of receiving waterbodies. Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) represent a newer issue in mine water treatment. This paper reviews recent research on the challenges and opportunities related to CECs in mine water treatment, with a focus on advanced oxidation and membrane-based processes on mine sites operating in cold climates. Finally, the paper identifies research needs in mine water treatment.

Mine Water Treatment

Ferrovum is a recently found new genus of acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria.Ferrovumspp. dominate the microbial community of a pilot plant for biological mine-water treatment and together with someGallionellarelatives appear to be key players of the process. Isolation ofFerrovumstrains should greatly be facilitated by a new APPW medium. Sequencing of the genome ofFerrovumsp. JA12 so far did not point to any alternative electron donors and also did not reveal genes for nitrogen fixation.
