Preventing acid mine drainage from mine tailings
Mining activity always has high impact on its surroundings, being waste deposition the cause of multiple and complex problems to the environment. One of them is Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), causing acid water percolation through large areas in the mine site. Portugal was a prosper tungsten producer from the beginning of the XX century, having its apogee during World War II. Nowadays there are mill...
متن کاملHeavy Metals from Acid Mine Drainage in Coal Mines-A Case Study
Acid drainage is most common problem or associated with almost all mines containing sulphide deposits and coal containing high pyrite. Acid drainage is caused when rain water and or seepage from rock formation interact with sulphur bearing minerals. It produces water of high acidity with higher metal concentration. Acid drainage is most susceptible to dissolve heavy metals particularly Iron, Zi...
متن کاملBioremediation by Sulfate Reducing Bacteria of Acid Mine Drainage
Mining activity produces metal sulfide wastes particularly pyrite which remain in the mine long after operations cease. When water percolates through a mine where oxygen is present, a series of chemical reactions occur which produce extremely low pH and high concentrations of toxic sulfate and metal ions. This toxic leachate can cause severe aquatic habitat degradation downstream of the mine. T...
متن کاملRecovery of Metals from Acid Mine Drainage
Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) poses a severe pollution problem attributed to current and past mining activities. Low pH, high concentrations of sulphates and various heavy metals makes AMD treatment a major concern because of possible deleterious effects of the effluent on the surroundings. Treatment methods to address AMD focus on neutralizing, stabilizing and removing problem pollutants through va...
متن کاملAcid Mine drAinAge (AMd) MAnAgeMent
AMd is recognized as one of the most serious environmental problem in the mining industry. the problem of acid mine drainage (AMd) has been present since mining activity began thousands of years ago. Mining activity has disrupted the hydrology of mining areas so badly that it is extremely difficult to predict where water would eventually re-emerge. its causes, treatment have become the focus of...
