The phrase "acidic mine" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to environmental science, geology, or mining, particularly when discussing the effects of mining on water quality or soil acidity.
Example: "The acidic mine runoff has severely impacted the local river ecosystem, leading to a decline in fish populations."
Alternatives: "acid mine" or "acidic mining site".
This chapter presents data on the construction characteristics and the composition of influent and effluent at 13 underground, limestone-filled drains in Pennsylvania and Maryland to evaluate the design and performance of limestone drains for the attenuation of acidity and dissolved metals in acidic mine drainage.
This has led to the formation of a very acidic mine drainage enriched with Al, Fe, Mn and sulphate.
Subsurface permeable reactive barriers (PRB) have been used to successfully treat acidic mine drainage in Canada and offer great potential for doing the same in the United Kingdom.
The acidic mine tailings had a higher metal solubility, resulting in more metal leaching in the short-term, but also a higher fraction of inert metal.
If FSS is placed at a mine site as a hydrologic barrier over pyritic refuse, it would interact with acidic mine water at the bottom and soil water at the top of the FSS.
Oxidation of S led to a sharp drop in pH, strong weathering of minerals, and solubilisation of the constituent elements, forming a toxic acidic mine drainage with highly concentrated pollutants that were discharged into the drainage channels.
Phytoplankton and especially metazoan zooplankton are introduced as intriguing and simple indicators for different states of ecological quality in highly acidic mining lakes.
The efficiency is evaluated for the acidic mining lake Grünewalder Lauch by adjusting input values into a geochemical model and making future projections.
Banfield, a native of Australia who received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1990, studies the interactions among microbes in extreme physical environments, such as highly acidic mines in California that have been declared Superfund hazard sites.
The mine was closed after the 1998 accident, during which a dam burst caused billions of liters of acidic mining tailings to spill, nearly causing serious ecological damage to the park.
Common metazoans inhabiting acidic mining lakes with a pH below 3 include rotifers in the genera Cephalodella and Elosa.
