尾矿酸浸液制备氢氧化铁过程中施威特曼石的形成与转变

尾矿酸浸液在制备氢氧化铁的过程中,由于逐渐滴加碱液正好形成了pH值为2.8～3.8的高SO2-4、高Fe环境,因而生成了施威特曼石.施威特曼石是一种亚稳定矿物,随着时间的延长和体系状态改变,它可以转变为更稳定的针铁矿(氢氧化铁).考查了pH值、温度及时间对施威特曼石相转变的影响.结果表明,在60℃条件下,在pH值为12的碱溶液中转化36 h,施威特曼石可完全转变为Fe(OH)3.     

A laboratory study of covers made of low-sulphide tailings to prevent acid mine drainage

Covers with capillary barrier effects (CCBE) are considered to be one of the most effective ways to control acid mine drainage (AMD) production from mine wastes. The use of low-sulphide tailings in CCBE has been proposed recently for cases where other types of material may be unavailable near the mining site. This paper presents leaching column test results showing that CCBEs with a moisture-retaining layer made of slightly reactive tailings, with three different sulphide contents, can effectively limit the production of AMD from the acid-generating tailings placed underneath. With these layered covers, the leachate pH was maintained near neutrality throughout the testing period. When compared to uncovered tailings, the efficiency of the cover systems for reducing the amount of contaminants in the percolated water was determined to be greater than 99% for zinc, copper and iron. This study shows that the use of low-sulphide tailings can improve the ability of a CCBE to limit gas diffusion by consuming a fraction of the migrating oxygen.     

矿山尾矿矿物学研究进展

矿山尾矿由于产生大量酸性排水和释放重金属，污染地下水和地表水，破坏生态环境而成为人们关注的焦点。尾矿引起的环境问题是地表条件下，水一气一矿物复杂反应的综合结果。近年来尾矿矿物学的研究已经揭示出尾矿中矿物分解和形成的规律，水一气一矿物反应的机制和影响因素，酸性排水和重金属迁移规律，为尾矿环境危险性评价和尾矿污染防治提供了基础资料和新的思路。
