| Abstract |
Laboratory investigations have demonstrated the feasibility of using limestone in place of pure lime for treating acid mine drainage for the neutralization of acidity and removal of iron to acceptable limits. The process consists of: Equalization; Addition of pulverized limestone and mixing; Aeration; Slurry recirculation to the mixing area; Sludge settling; and Sludge dewatering and disposal. Total costs are given. Advantages and disadvantages of limestone over lime are also discussed. |
