Περίληψη | The groundwater in the area near the tailings ponds at the Burgas
Copper Mines, Bulgaria, is contaminated with radionuclides, sulphates and
toxic heavy metals (mainly copper, lead, molybdenum and manganese) by
drainage waters from the pond. The groundwater level and the quality of
groundwater were monitored regularly by a system of piezometers. It was
found that natural cleanup processes took place during groundwater flow.
The main cleanup process is the microbial dissimilatory sulphate reduction
carried out by the indigenous sulphate-reducing bacteria. The hydrogen
sulphide, produced as a result of this process, reduced the hexavalent
uranium to the insoluble tetravalent state and precipitated the heavy metal
ions as the relevant insoluble sulphides. The in situ activity of the sulphatereducing
bacteria was enhanced by adding nutrients (soluble organic matter,
ammonium and phosphate ions) to the groundwater through injection
boreholes. The concentration of pollutants decreased below the permissible
levels after such treatment.
