Acid mine drainage (AMD) remediation has high costs, but could represent a source of metals, as shown by Skoronski et al. (2017), through recovery of Al and Fe contaminants in usable forms, and ...
South Africa is facing the increasing challenge of acid mine drainage (AMD) whose genesis is the country s mining history, which paid limited attention to post-mining mine site management. In mineral resource-rich Africa, this has emerged as one of the most daunting challenges of our time.

of acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major problem. Other significant impacts include fugitive dust and disposal of overburden/waste rock. In underground mines, the surface disturbance is less obvious, but the extent of possible subsidence can be very large. Methane generation and release can also be a problem under certain geological conditions. If

Reduction of volume or complete prevention of acid mine drainage. Treatment of acid mine drainage. The treatment approach is being aimed at each of 2 different objectives; i.e. treatment solely for the return of a legally acceptable discharge to streams of the Commonwealth, or more refined treatment to prepare a satisfactory water for potable use.
Acid mine drainage has been an issue of prime concern to international scientific communities. This is due to the magnitude, nature and extent of its environmental impacts. Acid mine drainage (AMD) contains hazardous and toxic chemical species that require removal prior discharging mine water to different environmental compartments.

2. Acid mine drainage generation and negative environmental impacts. Acid mine drainage is generated when sulfide minerals in the mined rock or overburden are exposed to oxygen and water during the mining process. These sulfide minerals include but not limited to pyrite (FeS 2), its dimorph marcasite, and pyrrhotite (Fe 1-x S).
ground waters interact with these wastes, acid mine drainage can be created, and this is probably the most serious environmental problem of metal mining and beneficiation. When water interacts in an oxidizing environment with the sulfide minerals typical of most metal mines, sulfuric acid is created.

Acid Mine Drainage Prediction Acid mine drainage prediction tests are increasingly relied upon to assess the long-term potential of acid generation. This concern has developed because of the lag time at existing mines between waste emplacement and observation of an acid drainage problem (Univ. of California, Berkley 1988). The issue of
Abstract Pollution of water resources by acid mine drainage (AMD) has been an issue of primary concern in recent decades. This is rooted to the fact that AMD negatively affects the environment and its suitability to foster life. As such, efforts to recover, valorise and beneficiate minerals acquired from AMD treatment process have been ongoing, albeit with minimal success.
Mine Drainage (AMD) from metal mining operations is the "largest problem facing the US mining industry." 2 In 2000, the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reported that the metal mining industry was the largest toxic polluter. 3 Increasing use and ongoing depletion of
The discharge of acid mine drainage (AMD) from the abandoned sulphur and copper mines at Avoca (S.E. Ireland) results in the formation of ochreous deposits on the river substrate.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) containing arsenic is a global environmental problem (5, 6) that also affects Japan, which has many abandoned or closed mines that have been generating AMD for the last ...
In the aftermath of intensive mining, the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) has been an issue of prime concern to national, regional, and international scientific and water care communities. Elevated concentrations of Al, Fe, Mn, and sulfate, among other contaminants, dominate AMD. This makes AMD a viable source of valuable metals and ...
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is predominated by Fe 2+ /Fe 3+, Al 3+, Mn 2+, and S O 4 2-, amongst traces of other elements. As such, major elements in AMD renders mine water a promising source of Fe-based minerals and sulphate. These elements can …

The effect of acid mine drainage (AMD) can occur indefinitely and as such its impact is not only felt by the existing mining operations but also on the environment and associated communities long after mining has ended. The processes responsible for its formation are autocatalytic and once it occurs on a large scale, it cannot be stopped.
