I know the pH of a mine pond (3.6) and I have a good estimate of the pond volume (168000 C.F.). Can someone help me determine the amount of Hydrated Lime Ca(OH)2 I need to to treat the water so that I can discharge it at a target pH of at least 6.0?
If it helps, the mine pond was created from...
Could someone out there provide me with the stoichiometric equation for the reaction between Anhydrous Ammonia & Acid mine water developed from pyrite?
I recently read about using to neutralize low pH acid mine water. The literature I read indicates NH3 is a good reagent, but it does not speak...
I'm interested in learning more about treating acid mine drainage (AMD). In my job, I work with group that developed designs for abandoned mine reclamation in Iowa.
I know little about treating AMD, except that I've seen limestone packs and passive wetland treatment systems proposed for such...
