Metal leaching and add rock drainage are naturally occurring processes that are caused when minerals containing metals and sulphur (called sulphides) come in contact with both air and water. When sulphides are exposed to water and the oxygen from air, they net (or oxidize). This oxidizing of sulphides can also produce acid.

Acid rock generation and drainage (ARGD) and metal leaching (ML) processes have been ongoing throughout geological time and will continue into the future. ARGD and ML are natural "reaction processes". Additional to this are the man-made (anthropogenic) effects which exacerbate the processes by breaking up acid generating material so as to ...

AMD is also known as Acid Mine Drainage or Metal Leaching/Acid Rock Drainage (ML/ARD) and it encompasses contaminant mobility under acidic or neutral/alkaline pH conditions. Stopping AMD formation, once initiated, may be challenging because it is a process that, if unimpeded, will continue (and may accelerate) until one or more of the …

In the prediction of minesite-drainage chemistry, an important aspect is reasonably upscaling the results of smaller-scale testwork to larger scales. However, this goal remains elusive. Case studies show that the underestimation (underprediction) of full-scale drainage chemistry and water contamination is the preferred objective of upscaled prediction. A …
