The second year of method development work was conducted on the ADTI-WP1 (Humidity Cell) and the ADTI-WP2 (Leaching Column) standard test methods. The performance of the leaching column method was superior to the humidity cell method. In making improvements to the leaching column method, variations in column diameter and water-handling/gas-handling procedures were evaluated. Two commercial laboratories and a university research lab participated in the study. Relative percent differences between duplicate samples and relative standard deviations between laboratories were evaluated. Surface area measurements, using BET methods, were conducted on each of 8 particle size classes, before and after weathering tests on 4 different lithologic samples. Observed alkalinity concentrations were consistent with the elevated PCO2 and approached saturation with respect to calcite for calcareous rocks. The maximum concentrations of acidity (33,700 mg/L), sulfates (37,404 mg/L) and iron (9,120 mg/L) for the high-sulfur coal refuse sample were consistent with the maximum concentrations observed in the field. The measured surface areas of the shale samples were significantly higher than the sandstone, limestone and coal- refuse samples. However, the surface area measurements post-weathering were not significantly different from the pre-weathering measurements for most rock samples and most particle size classes.
