Abstract: A process for treating acid mine drainage removes iron ions from the acid mine drainage in the form of zero-valent iron nanoparticles which can be subsequently used for environmental remediation.

Abstract: Aqueous acid mine drainage is aerated and treated with slaked lime to reduce ferrous iron as a sludge. Further treatment with an alkaline sodium borohydride solution reduces residual iron and manganese which precipitates out and is removed.

Abstract: A flooding fluid for use in petroleum recovery from a petroleum-bearing formation is prepared by mixing an oxygen scavenger consisting essentially of an alkaline aqueous solution of at least one water-soluble borohydride with an aqueous or nonaqueous input fluid having oxygen dissolved therein to reduce the level of dissolved oxygen.

Abstract: A stream of acid mine drainage is treated by mixing an alkaline aqueous solution of sodium borohydride at a pH of from 7 to 8.5 to form a metallic precipitate which is separated from the stream.

Abstract: A process for enhanced oil recovery includes the steps of providing an alkali metal borohydride; providing an alkali metal bisulfite; combining the alkali metal borohydride and the alkali metal bisulfite along with water to provide an oxygen-scavenger composition; combining the oxygen-scavenger composition and an aqueous composition to provide an oil recovery solution; and introducing the oil recovery solution into an earthen formation at a pressure to provide for enhanced oil recovery.
