Evaluation and use of parsimonious reactive solute transport models for prediction of contaminant behavior at an acid mine drainage site
Acid mine drainage (AMD) results from biogeochemical oxidation of iron and sulfur minerals in flooded mine shafts and waste rock piles. In the presence of water and oxygen, sulfur rich minerals are oxidized to produce sulfate ions and cations such as ferrous, copper and aluminum ions, which lower th...
