Acidic Mining Lakes

Acid Mine Drainage, Limnology and Reclamation (Environmental Science)

Edición de la obra Acidic mining lakes

This monograph gives a baseline to the worldwide problem of geogenic acidification of lakes following human mining activities, and how to handle this environmental problem. Concepts for the abatement of acidification are addressed including the causes of acidification, and the options to reduce acidified groundwater from overburden dumps, for acid control during the flooding of open-cast mines, and potential measures for in situ treatment through induced biological neutralization.
