Abstract
This chapter unpacks and broadens the understanding of the acid mine drainage (AMD) challenge. The chapter defines and describes the origin and chemistry of the complex formation processes of AMD, and its occurrence. The chapter also describes the spatial variability in quality of AMD derived from both coal and gold mines in South Africa.-
