Controls and rates of acid production in commercial-scale sulphur blocks
The controls of water and O2 availability, microbial activity and temperature on acid (H2SO4) production rates in commercial-scale sulphur (S0) blocks were quantified and recommendations were made for minimizing H2SO4 production in S0 blocks. Acidic drainage from the S0 blocks (pH 0.4-1.0) was attri...
