Surface (recent) and bottom (pre-1880s) sediment samples from each of 72 Sudbury area lakes were analyzed for diatom valves and chrysophyte scales, and using these microfossils, we inferred changes in lake water pH, [Al], [Ni], conductance, and [Ca]. The study shows that extensive acidification has occurred in presently acidic (pH < 6.0) Sudbury lakes. Inferred [Al] has also increased in these lakes. The region also contains a few naturally acidic lakes; however, even these lakes have acidified further since the bottom sediments were deposited. Lakes that have current measured pH between 6.0 and 7.0 have either declined or increased in inferred pH in the past, whereas all lakes that are presently alkaline (pH > 7.0) have become more alkaline. The increase in inferred [Ni] in most of the study lakes indicates that Ni inputs are mainly atmospheric. Our data suggest that, in general, ion concentrations have increased in Sudbury lakes. The extent of acidification or alkalification in Sudbury lakes was primarily a function of proximity of the lakes to the smelters, orientation of prevailing wind patterns, and differences in watershed geology.

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.
