Efficiencies of available organic mixtures for the biological treatment of highly acidic-sulphate rich drainage of the San Jose mine, Bolivia

The environmental contamination due to mining activities in the Andean region of Bolivia is a serious concern, as it leads to highly acidic (pH 2.4) acid mine drainage (AMD), severely polluted by sulfate (>12,000 mg L-1). Passive bioreactors entailing biological sulfate reduction and removal of m...

520 |a The environmental contamination due to mining activities in the Andean region of Bolivia is a serious concern, as it leads to highly acidic (pH 2.4) acid mine drainage (AMD), severely polluted by sulfate (>12,000 mg L-1). Passive bioreactors entailing biological sulfate reduction and removal of metals through sulfide precipitation have been recognized as a promising biotechnology. The reactivity of mixtures containing locally available substrates: sheep manure, compost and straw, was assessed through batch experiments conducted with a synthetic solution simulating the composition of AMD from San José mine (Oruro). The removal of sulfate and metals was successful in all reactors, at the end of the experiment (56 days) sulfate concentrations dropped to 1378-2081 mg L-1, corresponding to a removal efficiency between 84% and 89%, while average removal for Fe, Zn, Pb, and Cd were 99.8%, 98.5%, 94.7%, 98.6%, respectively. The sulfate and metal removal showed three phases. In the first phase, the removal was independent of the organic composition and attributable to pH-controlled mechanisms i.e. adsorption, precipitation of oxy(hydroxides) and co-precipitation. During the second phase, sulfate and metals concentrations remained rather constant; while in the third phase, the removal was affected by the organic matter composition. Sulfate removal rate attained the highest values (227-243 mg L-1 d-1) in the third phase, and it was attributable to biological reduction with not sulfate limitation. The depletion of nutrients rather than the sulfate availability may have limited the sulfate removal at the end of the experiment
