The objectives of the present work give the results view of some physicochemical, chemical and biological-chemical methods for the heavy metals removal from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The background of the studied physicochemical methods was the adsorption by turf, chemical methods the heavy metals precipitation by the neutralization with NaOH. The principles of the biological-chemical methods were the bioprecipitation by the applications of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB), the sorption by the bacterially produced iron sulphides and sorption by brown coal bio-modified by micromycetes.

The main scope of this study was to remediate Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) by application of biohydrometallurgical processes, environmentally friendly, to remove heavy metals such as Zn, Cu, Mn, Cd, Al and Fe. The processes studied have been electrowinning and bioprecipitation. The samples utilised were collected from the zinc mine located in Italy and from a cooper – iron ore deposit in Slovakia. By electrochemical experiments, high metals removal, with a low energetic consumption, has been achieved: in particular, by Zn electrodeposition, it was possible to achieve 95-99% Zn removal. Culture of sulphatereducing bacteria (SRB) of genera Desulfovibrio sp. was used for the bioprecipitation tests. The precipitation kinetic of metals at the original pH of aforementioned AMD by SRB has been investigated. This method has been performed in two interconnected reactors. Achieved results indicate the 98-99% selective elimination of Cd from AMD - Italian mine, and the 98-99% selective elimination of Cu from AMD - Slovak mine by bacterially produced H2S. Both the electrowinning and bioprecipitation processes have been demonstrated the technical feasibility to decrease the heavy metals concentration. The experimental work has been carried out in the framework of the agreement of scientific cooperation between the Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering of the CNR, Italy and the Institute of Geotechnics of Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovakia (years 2007-2009).

The formation and treatment of acid mine drainage is the biggest environmental problems relating to mining and processing activities in the worldwide. Various methods are used for the sulphates and heavy metals removal from acid mine drainage in the world, but any of them is universal. Main aim of the paper is the interpretation of chemical and biological-chemical methods for the metals and sulphates removal from acid mine drainage sample. The chemical method is based on the sulphates precipitation by the sodium aluminate in combination with the calcium hydrate. The biological-chemical method is based on the application of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). A sample of acid mine drainage from the abandoned and flooded deposit of Smolník located in Slovak republic was used in this study.
