“…In the case of anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewater from textile (Kabdasli et al, 1995), paper (Janssen et al, 2009), breweries or pharmaceutical industry (Rodríguez Martinez et al, 2005), the problem is high concentration of oxidized forms of sulfur, mainly sulfates and sulfites. Mine water also contains a considerable amount of sulfates (Choudhary and Sheoran, 2012). Sulfides can thus be released during anaerobic treatment of these wastes and wastewater either by sulfate-reducing bacteria by direct reduction of sulfates or by activity of other anaerobic bacteria that break down and subsequently decompose the sulfur proteins.…”

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most important environmental problem faced by some of the coal and many metal mines which is required to be treated and managed in economical and efficient manner. The AMD is harmful for aquatic life and corrodes the pumps, pipes and machineries in the mines. The AMD problem originates from active mines, abandoned mines, coal waste spoils and stripped area. About 40% of the AMD pollution problems originates from active mines both surface and underground and rest from others. The discharged acidic water from the mines is detrimental to environment in general and water quality in particular, because if their high acidity, high metal concentration and high sulfate content. Lots of researches are going on throughout the worlds to tackle and minimize the problems of AMD in coal mines of USA, Canada, Australia and India. Therefore it requires neutralization up to acceptable limit. Now days, various treatment systems are available for treatment of AMD. Active treatment system is costly and requires continuous supervision, whereas passive treatment system is long process. The application of SAPS utilizes the advantage of active treatment system and passive treatment system. In present paper, an attempt has been made to highlight AMD generation and application of SAPS for treatment of AMD.

“…There are various techniques available for remediation of AMD, which may be divided into either chemical or biological mechanisms to remove metals from solution. A number of reported studies have shown that a bioreactor based on nZVI and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) media can be applied for the treatment of a real acid water system containing a mixture of sulphate, heavy metals, and low pH-value pollutants [8][9][10]. Furthermore, permeable reactive barriers (PRB) as an alternative option for in-situ removal of contaminated groundwater [10][11][12] have been used widely to provide treatment of contaminants from AMD [13][14][15].…”

In this study, a coupled membrane-free microbial fuel cell (MFC) with permeable reactive barrier (PRB) was reported and its treatment performance and electricity generation for acid mine drainage (AMD) were examined. The pilot-scale continuous flow MFC-PRB was operated for five periods at a hydraulic retention time of 48.0 h, and the average sulphate removal percentages of 51.2%, 39.8%, and 33.1% were obtained in effluent of 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 mg/l, respectively. More than 99.5% of the initial concentrations of Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , and Pb 2+ were removed, resulting in concentrations of those elements of 0.01-0.05 mg/l in the effluent. The results demonstrated that the MFC-PRB holds a potential capacity for remediation of AMD.
