sluicing or hydrocycloning separates
acid sulphate fines from non-acidic
sulphate material, follow by (2.) Prevent
Oxidation or (3.) Treat.
• Hastened
oxidation : Spread a layer on impervious ground, collect leachate then (3.)
• Stockpiled
& managed : minimise the quantity and duration of storage, minimise the surface area exposed to air, cover to minimise infiltration, divert stormwater runoff, control erosion, collect & (3.) runoff.
• On-site treatment is
preferable to off-site
disposal, licensed land
fills not appropriate.
