Linking microbial community dynamics and performance of a biological sulphate reducing system using a mixed volatile fatty acid stream as electron donor

Mining for the recovery of minerals and coal can result in acid mine drainage (AMD) which presents an environmental risk. Acid mine drainage, as the name suggests, is acidic run-off water from mostly mine waste dumps. It affects water quality by lowering its pH and increasing its metal and sulphate...
