Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Akinwekomi, V; Maree, JP; Muedi, KLDate:Aug 2017Acid mine drainage is formed from the oxidation and hydro-geo-chemical weathering of sulphide bearing minerals. These minerals originate from mining and natural processes. This has led to the formation of a very acidic mine drainage enriched ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Ndiritu, JGDate:Jun 2017This study evaluated the fractional and sequential recovery of inorganic contaminants from acid mine drainage (AMD) using cryptocrystalline magnesite. Batch experimental approach was used to fulfil the goals of this study. The obtained results ...Read more
Author:Masindi, Vhahangwele; Ndiritu, JG; Maree, JPDate:Apr 2018In this study, a process of fractional and step-wise recovery of metals from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) using calcined cryptocrystalline magnesite was explored. pH Redox Equilibrium (in C language) (PHREEQC) was used to complement the experimental ...Read more
Author:Masindi, VhahangweleDate:Aug 2017This study endeavours to report the efficiency of a hybrid approach in the treatment of acid mine drainage. Cryptocrystalline magnesite was used to pre-treat acid mine drainage and barium chloride was used to remove the residual sulphate ...Read more
