Abstract

The possibility of on-line membrane size-fractionation of water components and simultaneous separation of particulate and dissolved matter at each filtration stage has been shown. The distribution patterns have been studied for As, Fe and Mn in effluent samples of tin ore tailings (Altenberg, Saxony, Germany). The seepage composition is characterized by high concentrations of Fe and As. The particulate and dissolved components were separated in five fractions between 0.025 and 8 μm. It was suggested that the distribution patterns of As and Fe compounds depend on the chemical conditions at the sampling sites. Manganese exists mainly in solvated forms in the liquid fractions.
