Flotation tailings rich in carbonate minerals from the tailings deposit of the copper mine Majdanpek (Serbia) were applied for neutralization of the water taken from the extremely acidic Lake Robule (Bor, Serbia). Tests conducted in Erlenmeyer flasks showed that after neutralization of the lake water to pH 7, over 99% of aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) precipitated, as well as 92% of Zn and 98% of Pb. In order to remove residual Mn and Ag, the water was further treated with NaOH. After treatment with NaOH, all concentrations of the metals in the lake water samples were below discharge limits for municipal wastewater according to the national legislation of the Republic of Serbia. The results of this work suggest that mining waste could be used for active neutralization of the acid mine drainage. The use of the mining waste instead of lime could reduce the costs of the active treatment of the acid mine drainage.
