Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a serious environmental problem caused by the weathering of sulfur-rich minerals found in mine sites, typically pyrite. Passive treatment methods have been extensively studied exploring various materials and treatment systems. Limestone is typically used as neutralizing m...
