Abstract

Acidic mine drainage (AMD) is a serious environmental problem in mining areas throughout the world. AMD occurs as a result of the natural oxidation of sulfide minerals when they are exposed to oxygen and water during their disposal and storage at the mining areas. Because it includes low pH and high concentrations of dissolved metals and sulphates, AMD can potentially damage to the environment. If the formation of AMD can’t be prevented and controlled, it must be collected and treated to remove acidity and reduce the concentration of heavy metals and suspended solids before its release to the environment. Different types of microorganisms in the treatment of AMD can play a very important role in the development and the application of microbiological prevention, control and treatment technologies. The purpose of this article is to give information about the passive biological methods used in the treatment and the control of AMD and the role of microorganisms in these methods.

Özet

Asidik maden drenajı (AMD), dünyanın her yerinde madencilik alanlarında önemli bir çevresel problemdir. Sülfürlü minerallerin madencilik alanlarında depolanması ve atılması sürecinde su ve oksijene maruz bırakılması sonrasında, bu tür minerallerin doğal oksidasyonunun bir sonucu olarak AMD meydana gelmektedir. Asidik Maden Drenajının düşük pH ve yüksek derişimlerde çözünmüş metal ve sülfatları içermesi nedeniyle çevreye potansiyel olarak zarar verebilmektedir. Eğer AMD’nın oluşumu önlenemez veya kontrol edilemezse; toplanmalı, çevreye bırakılmadan önce ağır metal konsantrasyonu ve askıda katı madde miktarını azaltmak ve asitliğini bertaraf etmek için muamele edilmelidir. AMD’nın giderilmesinde farklı tipteki mikroorganizmalar; mikrobiyolojik önleme, kontrol ve giderim teknolojilerinin uygulanmasında ve gelişmesinde çok önemli bir rol oynayabilmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı, AMD’nın kontrolü ve gideriminde kullanılan pasif biyolojik yöntemler ve bu yöntemlerdeki mikroorganizmanın rolü ile ilgili bilgi vermektir.
