Enhanced Monovalent Cation Biomineralization Ability by Quartz Sand for Effective Removal of Soluble Iron in Simulated Acid Mine Drainage

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is characterized by low pH, high soluble Fe, and heavy metal concentrations. Conventional lime neutralization produces large amounts of Fe(OH)<sub>2</sub> and Fe(OH)<sub>3</sub>, which complicate subsequent disposal. Secondary iron minerals synthesize...
