Acid leaching of heavy metals from bentonite clay, used in the cleaning of acid mine drainage
(SAIMM, 2010)Heavy metals and sulphates in acid mine drainage (AMD) can be adsorbed onto bentonite clay, leaving clean water and a heavy metal loaded clay precipitate as products. Due to the toxicity of heavy metals, the clay could ... -
Biological reduction of COD and sulphate by SRB in anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor under high metal loading conditions
(EARET, 2018)The performance of an anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) containing AnoxKaldnesTM K5 model for the treatment of raw acid mine drainage (AMD) was investigated for the reduction of sulphate and chemical oxygen ... -
Comparative analysis of brewing wastewater and lactate as carbon sources for microbial community treating acid mine drainage in anaerobic MBBR systems
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)This study investigated the effect of carbon sources (n = 2) on the performance of a microbial community in an anaerobic moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) treating acid mine drainage (AMD). The 1.5 L anaerobic MBBR was ... -
Mobility potential of metals in acid mine drainage occurring in the Highveld area of Mpumalanga Province in South Africa: implication of sediments and efflorescent crusts
(Elsevier, 2017)Prediction of the dispersion of pollutants from the acid mine drainage is an important step toward the development of remediation strategy and mitigation of environmental impact. Geochemical studies are often carried out ...
