Acid mine drainage, acid and metalliferous drainage AMD , or acid rock drainage ARD is the outflow of acidic water from metal mines or coal min Acid rock drainage occurs naturally within some environments as part of the rock weathering process but is exacerbated by large-scale earth disturbances characteristic of mining and other large construction activities, usually within rocks ....
Introduction The mining of coal deposits and metal ores often results in a phenomenon called acid mine drainage AMD This results primarily from the oxidative breakdown of transition metal sulfides, especially pyrite FeS 2 There is actually a complex series of reactions and side reactions, but the net equation is often written according to Equation 1...
