Abstract
Decommissioning of metal mine effluent traditionally involved costly chemical applications. Development of passive treatment systems, employing both biotic and abiotic components has been recognized as a cost-effective, ecologically favorable approach in the last decade. This paper documents construction of the first (experimental) treatment system in Ireland at a large lead-zinc mine, attempting to promote adoption of this innovative treatment alternative for future applications.
