Evaluation of organic covers over oxidized mine tailings to control acid mine drainage

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is generated by sulphidic mineral wastes at many mining locations throughout the world. It results from the percolation of water through mine wastes where chemical and biological oxidation of residual metal sulphides occur. The oxidation results in the generation of an acidi...
