Abstract
Two types of reactor were designed to neutralize acid mine drainage flow from closed mine. Limestone used as a neutralizer, which composed mainly of calcite with small amount of dolomite. In general, the effect of neutralization depended upon both the position of reaction and the amount of supply of neutralizer. It was observed that the neutralization was enhanced as the reaction with acid mine drainage occurred at the upper part of reactor with sufficient supply of neutralizer. When the reaction was sustained in upper part of the reactor, the neutralizer was not affected by precipitates and the reaction could last until all of neutralizer was consumed.
