Overview of Active and Passive Systems for Treating Acid Mine Drainage

Abstract: Acid mine drainage is among one of the qualitative pollution created mainly by mining activities. Water drained from active or abandoned mine workings is often indicated by low pH (pH value less than 5.6) with high concentrations of heavy iron and metals sulfate. This water is commonly referred as AMD. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is known to be one of the most severe environmental problem throughout the world in the mining affecting the environment as well as the economics of metal and coal mining operations.

“…Mine water management involves the collection, treatment, and discharge of water that is encountered during mining operations. This water can include groundwater, surface water, and water that are used in the mining process. Managing this water is essential to ensuring that it does not harm the environment or human health. However, due to the complex nature of mining operations, managing MIW requires advanced statistical data analysis approaches as opposed to the current methods (summary in Text S1 in the Supporting Information).…”

“…The occurrence of sulfide minerals dictates the generation of AMD besides other factors like hydrogeology of area, nature of adjoining rocks, presence of water, temperature, and oxygen supply, etc. [7,18]. The AMD generation reaction can be expressed as 4 FeS 2 + 15 O 2 + 14 H 2 O -------4 Fe(OH) 3 ↓ + 8 H 2 SO 4 The surrounding aquatic environment is adversely affected byAMD discharge and as a result aquatic livings are killed.AMD also increases the probability of corrosion in mining machine and fittings and reduces the mining machinery'slife.…”
