The Application of Thermal Decomposition for Determination of Carbonate Acid-Neutralising Capacity for Improved Acid Mine Drainage Prediction

The Application of Thermal Decomposition for Determination of Carbonate Acid-Neutralising Capacity for Improved Acid Mine Drainage Prediction

This study developed an industry-applicable, thermal decomposition methodology for quantification of carbonate mineral acid neutralisation capacity (ANC<sub>therm-carb</sub>) for waste rock, tailings, and other mined materials. Standard titration-based methods for ANC can be compromised...
