Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system for treating acid mine drainage. The apparatus includes first and second reaction baths for receiving acid mine drainage, wherein the first and second reaction baths are provided with inlets and outlets and are separated from each other to prevent communication between acid mine drainages, an electrically connected anode and a cathode installed in each of the first and second reaction baths, and an electron transport medium for connecting the first reaction bath receiving the anode and the second reaction bath receiving the cathode. The electron transport medium blocks the transport of metal cations and allows the transport of electrons between acid mine drainages in the first and second reaction baths. Ferrous ions are oxidized to ferric ions in the acid mine drainage to precipitate hydroxides in the first reaction bath, and hydroxide ions are produced in the second reaction bath.
