Abstract:

Integrons are a two-part gene capture and expression system found in a wide diversity of bacterial lineages. The Integron is implicated in the spread and development of multiple-antibiotic resistance in clinical and animal production environments. In addition to their importance to human health, Integrons are a particularly suitable model for how bacteria adapt to selective pressure, as they combine an ability to collect and express genes of complementary function with the potential to participate in HGT. In this study, integrons are used as a model to examine how bacteria respond to selective

Abstract:

The waste products acid mine drainage formed during coal mining and fly ash from coal burning power generation, pose substantial environmental and economic problems for South Africa.

Abstract:

The treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has been reported in the literature as a possible alternative to chemical treatment. The overall objective of this study was to implement such a treatment process at the mine site and specifically within the open mine pit itself. The first step of this study was to characterize process parameters. To accomplish this, a reactor was designed and built to simulate hydrodynamic conditions found in the mine pit. This reactor contained a 6$ sp{ prime prime}$ deep gravel bed in which a mixed population of SRB was inoculated.

Abstract:

Acid mine drainage (AMD) at Stockton Coal Mine, located near Westport, New Zealand, is generated from the oxidation of pyrite within sedimentary overburden exposed during surface mining. The pyrite oxidation releases significant acidity, Fe, and sulphate together with trace metals to the receiving environment. Aluminium is also elevated in drainage waters due to acid leaching from overburden materials. Thirteen AMD seeps emanating from waste rock dumps, and associated sediment ponds were monitored at Stockton Coal Mine to characterise water chemistry, delineate their spatial and temporal varia

This thesis has assessed the viability of using Bayer precipitates, formed by the seawater neutralization of Bayer liquor residues, as an alternative neutralization reagent to treat acid mine drainage (AMD) water.

The robustness and versatility of Bayer precipitates for the treatment of different AMD waters makes them an attractive alternative to commercial materials, especially as they have the potential to reduce the footprint of both mining

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is characterized by high metal concentrations and an extremely low pH, primarily generated by the microbial oxidation of iron sulfides from mine tailings.

Here I examined the Bacterial, Archaeal, and eukaryotic AMD seasonal microbial community, using direct sequencing techniques on AMD samples from the Copper Cliff Tailings AMD site in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

Abstract:

Addition of alkalinity to acid mine drainage (AMD) results in the neutralisation of acidity and precipitation of dissolved metals as insoluble hydroxides. Two aspects of the current AMD treatment practice at the Stockton Mine could be enhanced. Firstly, residual water quality may be poor due to unreacted alkalinity reagents, particularly CaCO3, resulting in poor water clarity and elevated suspended solids (SS). Secondly, neutralisation to circum-neutral pH may not avoid the discharge of residual metals (Ni and Zn) due to incomplete adsorption and hydroxide precipitation. The aim of this projec

Acid mine drainage (AMD) and increasing salinity of freshwater ecosystems pose serious threats to water quality in water-stressed South Africa.

Therefore, the overarching hypothesis for this study was that “the combination of AMD and sulphate salts confers high ecological risk to the aquatic biota”.
