There are five different systems for mine water heat recovery, including both open and closed types. A comprehensive review of geothermal mine water systems worldwide, both planned and existing, as well as their accompanying studies, shows that such systems have already been installed as heating and cooling applications at more than 51 sites. Approximately 85 MW of heating and 20 MW of cooling capacity worldwide are currently provided by geothermal mine water systems, and due to rising energy prices, new systems are increasingly being planned and installed. Most systems have supplied single properties with heating and cooling capacities below 200 KW; however, a trend towards larger systems that are able to provide energy for entire neighborhoods or districts can be observed. In this study, a comparison of monitoring results of four locations in Europe and North America shows that the parallel use of mine water for heating and cooling can achieve seasonal performance factors (SPF) of up to 10 for the overall system. Thus, even with high electricity prices, operational costs for geothermal mine water energy of between 5 and 10 ct/kWh heat are possible. Therefore, depending on fossil energy prices, performance factors of over 3 (Europe) or over 3.5 (USA) are feasible.","PeriodicalId":18571,"journal":{"name":"Mine Water and the Environment","volume":"44 3","pages":"519-543"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10230-025-01057-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147899311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this problem, a methodology to assess NMD risk was developed using Lac Tio Mine waste rock as a positive control. The methodology compares the maximum potential for contaminant release (in this case, nickel) using the waste rock's total metal content and the sorption capacity of the material (qmax) combined with a mineralogical assessment and modified kinetic leaching experiments that use a chelating agent to prevent immobilization processes from occurring. The results indicate that the potential NMD risk associated with Lac Tio waste rock would be assessed as probable with the proposed methodology. Indeed, the total nickel concentrations in the Lac Tio waste rock range from 270 to 590 mg/kg. The nickel is found in Ni-rich pyrites, which proved to effectively leach when no immobilization occurred (using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA, leaching). The material's sorption capacities were between 127 and 197 mg/kg of Ni. The sorption capacity to total Ni content ratio of the material was < 1, indicating that the material has fewer sorption sites for Ni than Ni contained within the material, thereby underscoring the potential risk of Ni leaching over time. The approach proposed in this work provides an additional tool for the assessment water quality risk associated with NMD.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10230-025-01023-6.","PeriodicalId":18571,"journal":{"name":"Mine Water and the Environment","volume":"44 1","pages":"16-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11933128/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143720468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the potential of Fe and Al ‘dilution factors’ (stream water divided by overbank sediment concentrations) under base flow hydrological conditions to detect AMD-related trace metal contamination in the study site. Waters of the Blesbokspruit River were characterized by acidic (< 3) to near neutral (≈7) pH, high EC (up to 2240 µS/cm), high sulfate (up to 1530 mg/L), ultra-high degrees of Fe contamination and minor to moderately severe enrichment of trace metals, all of which strongly indicate that the river is affected by AMD. Fe and Al dilution factors showed moderate to strong positive correlations with dissolved trace metals (Co, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cr, and Cd), but not with Cu, which is likely more associated with kaolinite in the study area. In addition, correlation analysis showed that dilution factors were better for detecting aqueous Co and Cd, and comparable for detecting aqueous Ni, relative to stream pH and aqueous Fe and Al. Dilution factors have an advantage over stream pH and aqueous Al and Fe because, once calculated, they can be used to monitor AMD-related trace metal contamination in streams during dry seasons by using only Al and Fe content in sediments. This can be beneficial when preservation methods or storage necessary for water samples are not available. However, the robustness of dilution factors during wet seasons requires further investigation.","PeriodicalId":18571,"journal":{"name":"Mine Water and the Environment","volume":"43 2","pages":"368-381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10230-024-00982-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147919160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
