Series: Wastes Management ; March 2004, 12-13(2)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Investigates clean-up projects which aim to stop polluted water from seeping into local streams from abandoned mines. This form of pollution is the responsibility of the Coal Authority, which usually drains the iron-polluted water into large tanks, where the iron settles on the bottom. Reed beds or bacteria complete the filtering process. Plans are being formulated to recycle the accumulated iron deposits. New projects look at using recycled materials to help clean the polluted water in an effort to promote sustainablity.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
