Innovative Routes for Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Valorization

In the aftermath of intensive mining, the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) has been an issue of prime concern to national, regional, and international scientific and water care communities. Elevated concentrations of Al, Fe, Mn, and sulfate, among other contaminants, dominate AMD. This makes AMD a viable source of valuable metals and ...

Iron Ore

Iron ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The principal iron ores contain hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). Hematite is an iron oxide mineral. It is non-magnetic and has colour variations ranging from steel silver to reddish brown. Pure hematite contains 69.9% Fe by molecular weight.
