ACID MINE DRAINAGE
• Acid water produce by the actions of metal and coal
mining.
• Sub surface mining often below the water table
• water needs to be pumped out of the mine in order to
prevent flooding
• water floods the mine after mining and pumping ends
resulting in AMD
• Consequence: contamination of water sources and
impact on ecology
Typical AMD Characteristics:
pH : 2 – 4
TDS : 5000 mg/l
Sulfate : 3000 mg/l
Calcium : 600mg/l
Iron :200mg/l Acid mine water on the West Rand goldfields
