摘要

矿山废石给环境带来了巨大挑战。由于粒度分布广泛、酸生成和缓冲矿物分布不均匀以及不同粒度组分对酸性矿井排水(AMD)生成的贡献各不相同,因此评估管理和复垦方案尤为复杂。反应迁移模拟有助于补充和克服实验室和现场实验的局限性。然而,要预测废石的实地尺度和长期地球化学行为,需要更好地理解数值参数的扩展。在本研究中,将三种具有不同矿物成分和粒度分布的废石分离成不同的馏分,并在实验室中进行了测试。动力学测试用于校准数值模型,调整矿物的有效动力学速率常数,使其与测量的 pH 值和金属浓度相匹配。经过校准的反应传输模拟能够准确再现颗粒大小对 pH 值以及硫酸盐和钙生成率的影响。实验和数值结果证实,废石氧化和中和率随着颗粒大小的增加而降低。对几种模型进行了测试,有效动力学速率常数的加权几何平均数作为各组分比例的函数,提供了对整个试样动力学速率常数的最准确估计。通过一次实验室测试预测废石地球化学行为的新方法也取得了可喜的成果。总之,这些结果将有助于改进实验室动力学测试结果的外推至实地预测。

Effect of waste rock particle size on acid mine drainage generation: Practical implications for reactive transport modeling

Mine waste rock poses significant environmental challenges. Evaluating management and reclamation options is particularly complex because of the wide particle size distribution, the non-uniform distribution of acid-generating and buffering minerals, and the variable contribution of the different particle size fractions to acid mine drainage (AMD) generation. Reactive transport simulations can be useful to complement and overcome the limitations of laboratory and field experiments. However, predicting field-scale and long-term geochemical behavior of waste rock requires a better understanding of numerical parameters scale-up. In this study, three waste rocks, with different mineral composition and particle size distribution, were separated into different fractions and tested in the laboratory. Kinetic tests were used to calibrate numerical models and adjust minerals' effective kinetic rate constants to match measured pH and metal concentrations. Calibrated reactive transport simulations were able to reproduce accurately the effect of particle size on pH and sulfate and calcium production rates. Experimental and numerical results confirmed that waste rock oxidation and neutralization rates tended to decrease with increasing particle sizes. Several models were tested and the weighted geometric mean of the effective kinetic rate constants as a function of the proportion of each fraction provided the most accurate estimation of the whole specimen kinetic rate constants. A novel approach to predict waste rock geochemical behavior from a single laboratory test also showed promising results. Overall, these results should contribute to improving the extrapolation of laboratory kinetic test results to field predictions.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Contaminant Hydrology is an international journal publishing scientific articles pertaining to the contamination of subsurface water resources. Emphasis is placed on investigations of the physical, chemical, and biological processes influencing the behavior and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants in the unsaturated (vadose) and saturated (groundwater) zones, as well as at groundwater-surface water interfaces. The ecological impacts of contaminants transported both from and to aquifers are of interest. Articles on contamination of surface water only, without a link to groundwater, are out of the scope. Broad latitude is allowed in identifying contaminants of interest, and include legacy and emerging pollutants, nutrients, nanoparticles, pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa), microplastics, and various constituents associated with energy production (e.g., methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide). The journal''s scope embraces a wide range of topics including: experimental investigations of contaminant sorption, diffusion, transformation, volatilization and transport in the surface and subsurface; characterization of soil and aquifer properties only as they influence contaminant behavior; development and testing of mathematical models of contaminant behaviour; innovative techniques for restoration of contaminated sites; development of new tools or techniques for monitoring the extent of soil and groundwater contamination; transformation of contaminants in the hyporheic zone; effects of contaminants traversing the hyporheic zone on surface water and groundwater ecosystems; subsurface carbon sequestration and/or turnover; and migration of fluids associated with energy production into groundwater.
