| Abstract | Wet coal cleaning produces fine coal slurry, which is commonly disposed of in surface impoundments. Following impoundment failures in the early 1970s, regulatory agencies encouraged placement of coal slurry in underground mine voids. That option was not without environmental risk, since it placed slurry in direct contact with mine water, a major component of local groundwater systems. We studied analytical data from coal slurry injection into two Central Appalachian underground coal mines with regards to potential water quality impacts on surface and groundwater. A dilution analysis model was used to predicted exceedances of surface and groundwater standards. The model proved useful for discriminating the effects of slurry injection and background pollutants, such as those generated in mines independent of slurry injection. The data did not identify a link between slurry injection in either of the two studied mines and exceedances of primary drinking water standards for arsenic, lead, or selenium in the mine pool water down-gradient of slurry injection. Contaminants associated with alkaline mine drainage (aluminum, iron, manganese, sulfate, and total dissolved solids) often exceeded secondary drinking water standards up-gradient in the slurry liquids and down-gradient of slurry injection. The results indicate that the liquid fraction, more than the solid fraction, of contaminants determines the effect of coal slurry injection on water quality. The study concluded that no public health problem attributable only to the coal slurry could be documented from the available data.Bei der Nassaufbereitung von Kohle entsteht feinkörniger Kohlenschlamm, der üblicherweise in Absetzanlagen eingelagert wird. Nach Versagensfällen in den frühen 1970er Jahren regten die Genehmigungsbehörden die Verbringung der Kohlesuspensionen in untertägige Grubenhohlräume an. Diese Option geht jedoch mit Umweltrisiken einher, da der Schlamm in direkten Kontakt zu Grubenwasser gerät, welches wiederum wichtiger Bestandteil lokaler Grundwassersysteme ist. Untersucht wurde die Injektion von Kohlenschlamm in zwei untertägige Kohlengruben in den Zentral-Appalachen im Hinblick auf potentielle Einflüsse auf die Qualität von Grund- und Oberflächenwasser. Zur Vorhersage von Grenzwertüberschreitungen bei Grund- und Oberflächenwässern wurde ein Verdünnungsmodell genutzt. Das Modell bewährte sich hinsichtlich der Unterscheidung zwischen Effekten der Schlamminjektion und in den Gruben unabhängig von der Schlammeinspülung auftretenden Hintergrundbelastungen. Bei beiden untersuchten Gruben ließen die Daten keinen Zusammenhang zwischen der Schlammeinspülung und Überschreitungen von Trinkwassergrenzwerte für Arsen, Blei bzw. Selen im abstromig von der Einspülstelle gelegenen Grubenwasserkörper erkennen. Kontaminanten, die mit alkalischen Grubenwässern assoziiert sind (Aluminium, Eisen, Mangan, Sulfat, Filtrattrockenrückstand) überschritten hingegen die Trinkwasserrichtwerte oft, sowohl in der Schlammflüssigphase als auch abstromig der Injektionsstelle. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass die Beeinflussung der Wasserqualität in stärkerem Maße von der gelösten, jedoch weniger stark von der im Feststoff gebundenen Schadstofffraktion bestimmt wird. Die Studie kommt zu dem Schluss, dass sich auf Basis der vorliegenden Daten kein ausschließlicher Zusammenhang zwischen Problemen der öffentlichen Gesundheit und dem Kohlenschlamm belegen lässt.El lavado húmedo de carbón produce lodo fino de carbón que es comúnmente dispuesto en diques en la superficie. A partir de las fallas en los diques hacia 1970, las agencias de control recomendaron la ubicación del lodo de carbón en agujeros de minas subterráneas. Esta opción no está libre de riesgo ambiental debido a que el lodo queda en contacto con el agua de mina que es componente principal de los sistemas de aguas subterráneas. Hemos estudiado el impacto sobre la calidad del agua superficial y subterránea provocada por la inyección de lodo de carbón en 2 minas de carbón subterráneas en los Apalaches Centrales. Un modelo de análisis de dilución fue usado para predecir los excedentes sobre los valores estándares que presentan tanto el agua superficial como la subterránea. El modelo es capaz de discriminar los efectos de la inyección de lodo y los contaminantes de base, tales como aquellos generados en las minas en forma independiente a la inyección de lodo. Los datos no identificaron una conexión entre la inyección de lodo en las dos minas estudiadas y los excedentes de los estándares primarios de agua potable para arsénico, plomo o selenio en el agua de mina gradiente abajo de la inyección de lodo. Los contaminantes asociados con los drenajes alcalinos de mina (aluminio, hierro, manganeso, sulfato y total de sólidos disueltos) frecuentemente exceden los estándares secundarios de agua potable, gradiente arriba en los líquidos del lodo y gradiente debajo de la inyección de lodo. Los resultados indican que la fracción líquida, más que la sólida, de los contaminantes determina el efecto de la inyección de lodo de carbón sobre la calidad del agua. El estudio concluyó que a partir de los datos disponibles no se pueden atribuir problemas de salud pública a los lodos de carbón.湿式洗煤产生大量细粒煤浆,尾矿库是圈闭处理煤浆的重要工程。在70年代初期发生多次煤浆尾矿库溃坝之后,监管部门鼓励将煤浆注入地下采空区。这种处理方法将煤浆直接与矿井水接触,也并非不存在环境风险。为研究该方法对地表水和地下水水质的潜在影响,我们研究了中央阿巴拉契亚(Central Appalachian)两个地下煤矿采空区的煤浆注入资料。稀释分析模型是一个预测地表水和地下水水质超标状态的模型,用于区分煤浆注入引入的污染物和与煤浆注入无关的背景污染物。两个煤矿的煤浆注入资料都不足以证明煤浆注入与矿井水砷、铅、硒含量超一级饮用水标准之间的直接关系,超标值随煤浆注入增多而减少。另外,与碱性矿山废水相关的污染物(铝、铁、锰、硫酸盐和总溶解固体)超过饮用水次级标准,污染物浓度在煤浆浆液中升高而注入煤浆中降低。研究结果表明,是污染物的液相而不是固相影响着煤浆注入对地下水水质的影响。目前还没有充分数据证明公共健康问题完全是由煤浆注入引发的。 |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
