Acidic mine tailings in an impacted stream
Acid mine tailings
Alkaline chemicals are added to mitigate acid mine tailings. When water is added to the alkaline chemicals, the exothermic (heat releasing) reaction burned through the cubitainer.
Exothermic reaction
This doser times the mechanical addition of alkaline chemicals to acidic mine tailings to mitigate the acidity.
