AMDTreat Workshop

Using AMDTreat to Evaluate Mine Drainage Treatment

Thursday, June 10 - 8:30-4:30

or

Friday, Jun 11 - 9:00-5:00

This class will focus on how to use the AMDTreat software to evaluate treatment methods and economics.  The course is divided into three sections: chemistry, treatment, and AMDTreat.  The course will start by exploring the chemistry of mine drainage as it relates to treatment.  This section will focus on the chemistry of acidity, Fe, Al, and Mn and at the end of this section participants will have an understanding of how to treat for each of these constituents.  The treatment section will explore the pros and cons of different active and passive treatment technologies.  The last section focuses on applying the knowledge gained in the previous sections to the AMDTreat cost-estimating software.  AMDTreat software is a flexible tool for estimating treatment cots and evaluating long-term treatment economics.  The class will consist of classroom lecture, lab experiments, and classroom exercises.  Students should bring a computer, however, the instructors will provide 4 computers for participant use.
