This paper reviews the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remediation potential and operational costs of twelve existing AMD remediation methods against Class 0 and Class I AMD geochemical characteristics as defined in the Modified Hill Framework. Of the twelve remediation options reviewed in this study, eleven required additional process steps either for further treatment to achieve the discharge limits or for the safe management of hazardous waste by-products. Chemical desalination showed the greatest potential with high quality treated water and operational costs between USD 0.25 and USD 0.75 per cubic meter treated. The management of the toxic metal and sulphide by-products remains a key challenge that requires further research for sustainable mine water remediation. Further development of end-to-end methods suitable for Class 0 AMD with economical operational costs is recommended in order to effectively address the ongoing environmental challenges posed by AMD globally.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is globally recognized as one of the environmental pollutants of the priority concern due to high concentrations of toxic metals and sulfates. More rigorous environmental legislation requires exploitation of effective technologies to remove toxic metals from contaminated streams. In view of high selectivity, effectiveness, durability, and low energy demands, the separation of toxic metal ions using immobilized membranes with admixed extractants could ameliorate water quality. Cellulose triacetate based polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs), with extractant and plasticizer, were studied for their ability to transport of As(V) ions from synthetic aqueous leachates. The effects of the type and concentration of extractant, plasticizer content, and sulfuric acid concentration in source phase on the arsenic removal efficiency have been assessed. Under the best of applied conditions, PIM with Cyanex 921 as extractant and o-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as plasticizer showed high repeatability and excellent transport activity for selective removal of As(V) from AMD.

Sorghum bicolor (S.B.) is used in this work for preparing chemically modified adsorbent for toxic metal ions, i.e., cadmium(II) and copper(II). Thiourea is selected for chemical modification of this plant waste by microwave solid fusion methodology, so that its chelating ability for metal ions can be enhanced in both acidic and basic conditions, in a cheaper and quicker way. Characterization was carried out by different physiochemical means using FT-IR, SEM, etc. An increase in pHpzc value was observed in TSB, which is confirmed by FT-IR analysis. The effect of biosorption process parameters was also studied and found that maximum removal of these toxic ions occurred in slightly acidic pH (5-6) conditions, following pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Boyd plots indicated that film dispersion mode was the rate-determining step. Langmuir model indicated that the maximum metal ion removal capacity of TSB was 17.241 mg/g and 15.151 mg/g for cadmium(II) and copper(II) ions. So, TSB can be used on a larger scale for toxic metal ion removal by Sorghum bicolor waste in a cleaner way.
