Description

Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) Prediction provides an introductory course and application reference for students, technicians, and practicing geochemists, geoscientists and other professionals who desire a solid grounding on the subject. The course provides sufficient knowledge and background to allow useful application of the presented information toward site assessment with regard to the evaluation of acid generation potential. By design, Acid Rock Drainage Prediction emphasizes the practical application of the concepts presented and limits the presentation of theory to the level required for a basic understanding of the topic.

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the concepts underlying acid rock drainage prediction and to act as a resource for practitioners to become more familiar with or reaquaint themselves with the topic. For those who require a specialized theoretical background on the topic, ARD Prediction provides an exhaustive list of technical references. The companion textbook to this course which contains some of the course text and has additional references should be read in conjunction with this course: Acid Mine Drainage, Rock Drainage and Acid Sulfate Soils, causes, assessment, prediction, prevention and remediation, edited by James A Jacobs, Jay H. Lehr, Stephen M. Testa, John Wiley & Sons, 2014. Principal topics covered by the course include:

  • Chemistry, Mechanisms and Sources
  • Site Assessment and Sampling
  • Mineralogical and Geochemical Interpretation
  • Static Laboratory Tests and Interpretation
  • Kinetic Laboratory Tests and Interpretation
  • Waste Material Management
  • Case Studies in ARD Prediction

Was expecting a presentation of information, like Powerpoint videos or an actual instructor. This is excellent information (probably far too detailed for a beginners course), but it is just a text compilation of textbooks and case studies. It's like having to read a textbook. The "instruction" is missing. The Table of Contents should be described in the course so people can see the level of complication before signing up. This does NOT take a few days to go through if you aren't already in the field. It takes a few weeks.

High density of information, good overview of methods and interpretations. Only method of teaching is however reading, which should considered if the course was re-designed. One can only take up so much information this way.
