Approaches to AMD remediation

Dive into innovative approaches to AMD remediation through a compelling article published in the Journal of Minerals Engineering. Co-authored by one of our project leads, this research examines the potential of using waste materials from various industries to tackle AMD's environmental impact. It highlights how these unconventional resources can overcome the limitations of traditional methods, paving the way for more sustainable and effective solutions.

Science of the Total Environment

Explore the use of second generation feedstocks for AMD treatment in an article published in the "Science of the Total Environment." Written by three of our project members, this research examines how lignocellulosic biomass can be leveraged to address environmental challenges associated with AMD while supporting the bio-based economy. The study provides a detailed analysis of the potential for converting biomass into valuable biochemicals – something which is also looked at in A2V.

Waste management techniques

Explore strategic approaches to minimizing AMD through innovative waste management techniques in a comprehensive technical brief co-authored by an A2V project member and the Water Research Commission of South Africa. This study, titled "Minimising the Formation of Acid Rock Drainage through Management of the Disposal of Sulphidic Waste Rock and Tailings," focuses on advanced strategies to mitigate the risks associated with sulphidic waste materials from mining operations.

AMD Remediation

Discover innovative approaches to Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remediation in an article featured in the "Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste." Authored by three of our project members, this study investigates the use of two industrial by-products, steel slag and sugarcane bagasse, in treating AMD in South African mining regions.
