The Big Orange Problem: Acid Mine Drainage

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is a problem occurring across the globe, including in Southeastern Ohio. This lesson covers the basic chemistry behind AMD and the remediation processes, as well as how organisms within the stream are affected by AMD. There is a lab demonstration reviewing how metals dissolve and precipitate depending on pH.

Never seen anything like this in Canada. America seems more and more f'ked up.

👍🏻👍🏻 thank you for made this video, really helpfull for my job interview related to AMD

Glad you were able to use the information!

[@FrankensteinDIYkayak]

there just might be rare earth elements in that drainage and pond tailings and it's worth money. too bad there wasn't a win-win solution

Thanks, I was wondering and worrying what the orange stream in our woods was, but never managed to find out.It must have been a sacrifice area then.

Can u use acid mine to make hydrogen power

[@AnthonyCarrion-wk9ng]

Define discharge?

We live in a massive sulfide region here as well.

Great video. Just a minor correction, the equation at 2:15 has 'ferrous hydroxide' which should be 'ferric hydroxide' as the iron is in the +3 oxidation state.
