Terbentuknya air asam tambang  (AAT) merupakan salah satu dampak dari adanya aktifitas pertambangan. Air asam tambang memiliki ciri pH asam berkisar antara 3-5, warna air kuning kemerahan, dengan konsentrasi besi (Fe) dan mangan (Mn) yang tinggi. Penyisihan Mn menjadi tantangan tersendiri karena mangan hanya dapat disisihkan jika konsentrasi Fe AAT kurang dari 5 mg/L. Teknologi yang kini dikembangkan untuk menyisihkan Mn air asam tambang adalah sistem lahan basah buatan (LBB). Kinerja LBB dipengaruhi oleh debit AAT. Untuk mengetahui efesiensi penyisihan mangan (Mn) dan nilai pH pada LBB, maka pada penelitian ini digunakan Lahan Basah Buatan Aliran Permukaan (LBB-AP) berdimensi 150cm x 50 cm x 75 cm beraliran kontinyu dengan variasi debit. Pada penelitian ini akan divariasi debit AAT yaitu D0 7,1 mL/menit; D1 8,8 mL/meni; D2 10,5 mL/menit, dan D3 12,2 mL/menit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan pH terbaik pada D0 7,1 mL/menit periode ke 4 dengan nilai pH 4,3. Kemampuan penyisihan Mn terbaik pada LBB D0 7,1 mL/menit periode ke 1 sebesar 3,3 mg/L dengan efisiensi sebesar 62%. Kata Kunci : air asam tambang, lahan basah buatan aliran permukaan, mangan, variasi debit. The formation of acid mine drainage (AAT) is one of the impacts of mining activities. Acid mine water has a characteristic low water pH ranging from 3-5, the color of reddish-yellow water, and has high concentrations of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). Mn removal is a challenge because manganese can only be removed if the concentration of Fe AAT is less than 5 mg / L. One of the technologies that can be used to remove Mn from acid mine drainage is the constructed wetland system (CW). CW performance is influenced by AAT debits. To determine the efficiency of removal of manganese (Mn) and the pH value in CW, then in this study used Surface Flow Constructed Wetland (SFCW) with dimensions of 150cm x 50 cm x 75 cm with the continuous flow with variations in debit. In this study, AAT debit will be varied, namely D0 7.1 mL / min; D1 8.8 mL / min; D2 10.5 mL / min, and D3 12.2 mL / min. The results showed the best pH increase at CW D0 7.1 mL/min for the 4th period with a pH value of 4.3. The best Mn removal ability at CW D0 7.1 mL/min in the first period was 3.3 mg / L with an efficiency of 62%. Keywords: Acid mine drainage, Debit variation, Manganese, Surface flow Constructed Wetland.

The formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) is a serious environmental problem in areas with mining and processing industries worldwide. Their generation is associated with chemical and biological processes of oxidation of sulfide minerals, mainly pyrite. Sources of AMD can be deposits of sulfide minerals and coal with a high content of pyrite sulfur, mining waste and some tailings. The impact of AMD on surface and groundwater in mining areas continues for decades after the cessation of extraction. An example of the negative impact of generated acid mine drainage on the state of surface waters is in the region of Madzharovo. Years after the cessation of mining, the waters at the discharge points "Momina Skala", "Harman Kaya" and "Pandak Dere" are characterized by low pH values and high concentrations of iron, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead and manganese.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the repercussions that result from earth-moving activities around the sulfide-bearing mineral hosts. The detrimental effects associated with this AMD are driven by its characteristics, which include low pH and high concentrations of sulfate and toxic dissolved metals. Traditionally, the prevention and treatment of AMD are achieved by using technologies that use, amongst other, naturally occurring soils and carbonates. However, the continual use of these materials may eventually lead to their depletion. On the other hand, industrial by-products have been proven to occupying land that could have otherwise been used for profitable businesses. Additionally, the handling and maintenance of landfills are costly. In this current trend of a circular economy that is driven by industrial symbiosis, scientists are concerned with valorizing industrial by-products. One such by-product is the green liquor dregs (GLD) from Kraft mills. The neutralizing and geotechnical properties of these wastes have prompted the research pioneers to seek their potential use in handling the challenges associated with AMD. In this review, the formation AMD, trends in technologies for treatment and prevention of AMD are critically analyzed. This includes the feasibility of using GLD as an alternative, promising sustainable material.

AbstractThe Tinto river is one of the most polluted stream environments in the world, as a result of both acid mine drainage and natural acid rock drainage. Two representative samples from the phyllosilicate-rich rocks exposed in the drainage basin (Palaeozoic chlorite-bearing slates and Miocene smectite-rich marls) were treated with acid river water (pH = 2.2) for different times to constrain the effects of extreme hydrogeochemical conditions on clay mineral stability. Illite and kaolinite did not show appreciable variations in their crystal chemistry parameters upon treatment. Chlorite underwent an incipient chemical degradation evidenced by the progressive loss of Fe in octahedral positions coupled with a shortening of the b unit-cell parameter, although no weathering products of chlorite were observed. Smectite and calcite were rapidly and fully dissolved thus neutralizing the water acidity, and subsequently Fe and Al oxy-hydroxides and opaline silica precipitated from the aqueous solution, together with a neoformed amorphous silicate phase largely enriched in Al and Mg.
