Abstract
An integrated approach is proposed for treating acidic coal discard leachate, consisting of CaCO3 handling and dosing, CaCO3-neutralization, and biological sulphate removal. It was found that: powdered CaCO3 can be slurried to a constant density and used to neutralize the acid water, remove Fe (II), Fe (III), and Al, and partially remove the sulphate (to saturation level); biological sulphate removal can be used to lower the sulphate to less than 200 mg/L using ethanol as the carbon and energy source; CO2 produced during calcium carbonate treatment can be used for H2S-stripping and; H2S gas recovered in the sulphate removal stage can be used for iron removal.
