Defining Manganese(II) Removal Processes in Passive Coal Mine Drainage Treatment Systems Through Laboratory Incubation Experiments
The presence of elevated concentrations of Mn(II) in coal mine drainage (CMD) is a significant problem for many regions in the USA and throughout the world. In Appalachia, centuries of coal mining have left thousands of abandoned mines that are discharging metal-contaminated CMD with Mn concentrations as high as 150 mg/L (Herlihy et al., 1990; Cravotta, 2008).
