- N/A
On the site of the waste pile 371 of WISMUT the first constructed wetland (4 serially connected basins) for the biological treatment of mining water in Germany was designed and built. For the discharge into a nearby river water, uranium and arsenic have to be removed. Extensive investigations on the management, robustness and long-time stability of the constructed wetland have been carried out. The operation under properly controlled redox conditions is essential to achieve low arsenic and uranium levels at the same time.
