Acid–Base Accounting Associated with Acid Rock Drainage

BRUCE W. DOWNING

This chapter is primarily a detailed description of acid–base accounting (ABA) concepts commonly used in the mining industry. ABA is used as a screening method to quickly determine the amount of neutralizing agent that is needed for acid-generating materials such as pyrite-rich rocks, sediments, and soils. Although the text refers to acid rock drainage (ARD), the concepts are also applicable to acid mine drainage (AMD) and acid sulfate soils.
