(Tigroney PressIE, 2017-06-08)Field toxicity experiments were conducted in the Avoca River (Ireland) during August and September 1994 in order to evaluate the toxicity of acid mine drainage (AMD) to a number of selected macro-invertebrate species. The ... -
INFLUENCE OF POSSIBLE SECONDARY SULPHATE MINERALIZATION ON THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE TO SURFACE WATERS
(Tigroney PressIE, 2017-06-08)Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major environmental pollutant of both surface and ground waters. Intensive sampling of drainage from mine adits has revealed a seasonal variation in the Zn:Cu ratio. This is linked to secondary ... -
PROCEDURE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE TO SURFACE WATERS AND ITS MANAGEMENT
(Tigroney PressIE, 2017-08)The rehabilitation of a mine producing acid mine drainage (AMD) involves four discrete steps. These are site characterization, the development of an AMD water quality management protocol, a remediation strategy and finally ... -
PROTOCOL FOR MONITORING AND PREDICTING THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE: SEDIMENT SAMPLING
(Tigroney PressIE, 2017-05)Sampling acid mine drainage (AMD) impacted sediments is complex requiring appropriate field sampling techniques to ensure representative samples which are both repeatable and reproducible. This report examines the important ... -
