Start date 1 August 1993

End date 31 January 1996

Funded under

• Specific research and technological development programme (EEC) in the field of the environment, 1990-1994

Total cost € 0,00

Objective

To develop a protocol for the rehabilitation of acid mine drainage sites.


To accomplish the main objective, a number of secondary objectives must be fulfilled:

- definition of experimental areas
- characterization of geological and geotechnical nature of mines and spoil
- evaluation of leachate flows and chemical composition
- evaluation of environmental impact of acid mine drainage from area on river and
subsequent bioremedial activities
- geotechnical evaluation of material
- identification of natural mechanisms and kinetics (lab)
- enhancement of natural leaching (lab)
- leaching characteristics of various spoil
