Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Management

Abstract

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 number of researchers. This paper describes Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) generation and its associated pollution.
