REMOVAL
OF MANGANESE FROM ACID MINE DRAINAGE IN CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS (1989). 18

Type of
Report: Final Report .
Abstract:
Report
discusses wetland treatment system which is most efficient in removing
iron
from mine drainage. Wetland also
consistently reduces bottom manganese
acidity,
& sulfate loads. Although
reductions are not always statistically
important,
environmental significance of reduced mineral loads are noted. Most
salient
feature of study may well be questions on relationship of iron &
manganese
uptake in aquatic vegetation. Future
studies should be implemented to
determine
what effect, if any, iron has on manganese uptake in wetland
vegetation. Information could be extremely useful in
design of future wetland
treatment
systems.
