Acid Mine Drainage

The Environmental and Compliance Challenge

Acidic Mine Drainage (AMD) arises as a byproduct of mining operations when sulfide minerals are exposed to air and water, generating sulfuric acid. This acidic water frequently carries elevated levels of iron and manganese, contaminating waterways, threatening aquatic ecosystems, and creating complex regulatory compliance challenges. Without effective treatment, AMD can lead to costly long-term environmental degradation and infrastructure damage.

How Carus Can Help

Carus leverages advanced permanganate-based technologies to address AMD challenges with efficiency and sustainability:

Iron and Manganese Removal:

CARUSOL® liquid permanganate, CAIROX® potassium permanganate, and AQUOX® potassium permanganate (Carus Europe Only) oxidize dissolved iron and manganese into insoluble forms, allowing for easy separation and removal.

Eco-Friendly Remediation:

These solutions offer a sustainable and safe method for managing AMD while ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Solutions in Action

  • Safeguard natural waterways and ecosystems by mitigating the effects of harmful contaminants.
  • Simplify regulatory compliance and minimize associated risks.
  • Implement a cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable treatment process.

Resources for Mining Professionals

  • Product Data Sheets
  • Case Studies

Protect water systems and reduce your environmental footprint.
