Prevention of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) at the Source
AmdEL reduces the requirement for leachate treatment by attacking the formation of AMD at the source.
The AmdEL system is an electrochemical system that prevents the oxidation of sulphide minerals in tailings or waste rock, in situ, thus preventing the formation of AMD.
Designs are available for:
Advantages of the AmdEL System:
- Acid mine drainage is stopped at the source.
- Can be used or retrofitted at active or abandoned mining properties
- No moving parts, uses no chemicals - produces no sludge
- Can be used as a stand-alone treatment or to enhance existing technologies
Field Testing at the Falconbridge Hardy Mine Site
- 1.2 ha installation
- Reduced the redox potential of the tailings to below -350 mV
- Tailings thermodynamically stable
