Geochemical characterization of waste rock dump and its potential to predict acid mine drainage
Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is an environmental phenomenon that is being experienced by mining companies in Ghana. High levels of heavy metals have been reported in mining areas especially in Obuasi over the years; however, as to whether these heavy metals are being released from the mine wastes (waste...
