Abstract

Language:

Acid mine drainage (AMD) poses significant environmental threats by contaminating soil and water resources, adversely affecting crops and human health. This study aims to investigate an innovative application of sludge generated from coal mine drainage treatment, particularly focusing on its capacity to remove Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. A comprehensive approach involving electrolysis, which is known to be a more efficient technique compared to traditional neutralization methods, was employed. The electrolysis process facilitates the reduction of acidic mine drainage while minimizing the volume of sludge produced, thus addressing disposal concerns. In this research, the sludge resulting from electrolysis, termed coal mine drainage sludge (CMDS), was evaluated for its potential use as a material in the treatment of zinc-contaminated water. The effectiveness of CMDS in absorbing Zn(II) was assessed, confirming its viability as an alternative treatment method. The findings suggest that leveraging the by-products of electrolysis can provide an environmentally sustainable solution for both water treatment and sludge management, contributing to more effective remediation strategies for AMD-affected areas.
