ImplementationThe KNeW and ZIX-Zak processes, developed in South Africa, offer profitable solutions to the significant issue of acid mine drainage. This environmental problem occurs when sulfide minerals in exposed rocks generate sulfuric acid, contaminating water and harming ecosystems. The KNeW and ZIX-Zak processes neutralize the acidity and recover valuable minerals and metals from the water, turning hazardous waste into a revenue source.
By addressing acid mine drainage in a way that suits South Africa’s unique mining environment, these processes not only help protect the environment but also support local economies through job creation and resource recovery.
