Remediation experiment of Ecuadorian acid mine drainage: geochemical models of dissolved species and secondary minerals saturation

Acid mine drainage is one of the main environmental hazards to ecosystems worldwide and it is directly related to mining activities. In Ecuador, such acidic-metallic waters are drained to rivers without treatment. In this research, we tested a laboratory combined (Ca-Mg) Dispersed Alkaline Substrate...
