Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the thermal activation of cryptocrystalline magnesite for treating acid mine drainage (AMD), focusing on optimizing calcination conditions like temperature and time.
- The researchers found that the best results occurred at 800 °C for 30 minutes, resulting in significant increases in pH and the formation of beneficial compounds like MgO and CaO.
- This research offers an efficient, eco-friendly alternative to traditional wastewater treatment methods, potentially reducing energy costs for industries.
