Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Osman, Muhammad S; Mbhele, Nkhangweleni R; Rikhotso, Rirhandzu SDate:2017Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag has been widely used for Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) treatment with its reaction chemistry and contaminants attenuation mechanisms barely reported. This pioneer study was therefore designed with the aim of evaluating ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Osman, Muhammad SDate:Jun 2017This study evaluated the interaction of acid mine drainage (AMD) with Basic Oxygen (BOF) slag. The reaction proved that pH = 10, and 99% metals removal and 75% removal were achieved. Sulphate concentration was reduced from 18000 to 4000 mg/L ...Read more
