Acid Drainage is a comprehensive guide to this major
environmental challenge facing the minerals industry worldwide.
Part One - "A critical review of acid generation resulting
from sulfide oxidation: processes, treatment and control",
by Gretel Parker - provides a comprehensive and critical
study of the wealth of research undertaken in Australia
and overseas into the science of acid drainage and the methods
trialed for its prevention, treatment and control. Part
Two - "An investigation of Strategies Used Overseas
for the Environmental Management of Sulfidic Mine Wastes",
by Alan Robertson, reports on the approaches being taken
to acid drainage in New Zealand, USA, Canada and the Netherlands,
based on Dr Robertson's recent visits to key mine sites
and research facilities.
Acid Drainage is a valuable appraisal of our current
understanding of acid drainage and the results from the
many different approaches being taken to prevent, treat
and control it. It is an essential resource for environmental
managers, regulators and researchers.
