Abstract

Acid mine drainage is considered among the worst environmental problems associated with mining activity. AMD originates as a result of the natural oxidation of sulphide minerals, mainly pyrite when exposed to the combined action of water and oxygen and negative affects the whole ecology of aquatic environment. The article presents the results of the monitoring of acid mine drainage quality's evolution at the locality of Smolník from year 1986 till 2004 and the assumed geochemical processes occurred within the generation of acid mine drainage.
