Abstract

Acid mine drainage (AMD) has been a detrimental by-product of sulphidic ores mining for many years. In most cases, this acid comes primarily from oxidation of iron sulphide, which is often found in conjunction with valuable metals. AMD is a worldwide problem, leading to ecological destruction in watersheds and the contamination of human water sources by sulfuric acid and heavy metals, including arsenic, copper and lead.
