The main objective of this comprehensive book is to delve into the principles, advancements, and remarkable performances of hybridized technologies employed in the treatment of mine effluents. Recent developments in this field have witnessed the integration and hybridization of various technologies to achieve efficient and cost-effective removal of pollutants from acid mine drainage (AMD) effluents. This stepwise approach ensures that the resulting water is suitable for its intended purpose while minimizing the overall process costs.

This book presents eight specialized chapters, each offering a state-of-the-art review of the diverse hybridized technologies developed over the years for treating mine effluents, particularly AMD. The successful implementation and challenges of these technologies are highlighted, providing the reader with a comprehensive perspective on managing mine waste in the mining industry.

In this innovative work, readers will be introduced to the limitations of passive and active treatment processes as standalone technologies while appreciating their functioning and performances when combined to address their challenges. The book explores a wide range of approaches considered for effectively combining these technologies, considering their successful large-scale implementation and long-term sustainability.

The audience for this book extends to academic researchers from diverse fields such as environment, chemistry, engineering, mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, geochemistry, and professionals including mining plant operators, environmental managers, water treatment plant managers and operators, water authorities, government regulatory bodies officers, and environmental enthusiasts.
