New Online Course: Global Acid Rock Drainage

EduMine is pleased to announce a brand new online course, authored by The International Network for Acid Prevention: Global Acid Rock Drainage.

Acid drainage is one of the most serious and potentially enduring environmental problems for the mining industry. Left unchecked, it can result in such long-term water quality impacts that it could well be this industry’s most harmful legacy.

This course deals with the prediction, prevention, and management of drainage produced from sulphide mineral oxidation. It also addresses metal leaching caused by sulphide mineral oxidation. While focused on mining, the technology described will be helpful to those practitioners that encounter sulphide minerals in other activities. Some of the approaches in this course are also relevant to issues arising from reactive non-sulphide minerals.
