Abstract
The effects of equivalent of iron powder, particle size, agitation speed on the removal efficiency of copper ion were investigated by adding iron powder as cementation agents to simulated mine drainage solution with 117.15 mg/L Cu ion. The 50 % of Cu was removed at 90 min with 2 equivalent of iron powder while more than 99 % of Cu was removed at 60 min with 16 equivalent at 200 rpm and $20^{\circ}C$. The removal efficiencies of Cu ion were not different using 2 equivalent of $48{\mu}m$ and $150{\mu}m$ iron powder, and the removal efficiency increased rapidly with increasing the agitation speed to more than 400 rpm. This lower removal efficiency resulted from agglomeration of iron powder observed by SEM, which could reduce the effective specific surface area. More than 99 % of copper ion was removed using 2 equivalent of $48{\mu}m$ iron powder at 60 min, 600 rpm and $20^{\circ}C$.
