Submit a ProposalRecovery of Byproducts from Acid Mine Drainage Treatment
 | Edited by Elvis Fosso-Kankeu, Christian Wolkersdorfer and Jo Burgess Copyright: 2020 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119620075 | Hardcover | 370 pages | 227 illustrations Price: $225 USD  |
One Line Description
The book presents 11 chapters focusing on the management of tailing dams, prediction of acidic mine water formation, established treatment methods that have successfully converted acidic mine water to usable water, and approaches to using acidic mine water as a resource for relevant commodities.
Audience
This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of mining hydrogeology, mine water geochemistry, hydrodynamics, mine water remediation & management, mineralogy, as well as environmental engineers, government regulatory bodies officers and environmentalists.

Description
Recent developments have provided the opportunity to recover valuable materials from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) treatment, which is a sustainable approach that allows to reduce waste while generating incomes that balance the cost of the treatment. This book provides insights to innovative and affordable routes for AMD valorization that can motivate the mining industry to effectively manage their wastes and minimize environmental impact while generating jobs opportunities.
Readers of Recovery of Byproducts from Acid Mine Drainage Treatment will find the following important topics:
• Reviews the challenges related to the mine waste deposited in the environment that contribute to pollution such as mine drainages which adversely affects water resources, soil and the surrounding ecosystem.
• Reviews technologies that have been used traditionally to treat various streams of wastewater as well as emerging technologies which are now being commercialized to recover potable water and valuable products from various types of wastewater, and provides clarification about the equipment and methods used in the process, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each technology.
• Provides a state-of-the-art review of sustainable AMD treatment approaches that are likely to effectively foster water reclamation, reuse and recovery.
