Passive treatment is an environmentally friendly technology to treat mine water. Under normal operating conditions no chemicals are used and the only energy sources are natural: sun light, potential energy or ‘biological’ energy from plants or microorganism, wetlands for final polishing, limestone for natural buffering, or forest buffers for noise and dust suppression. Passive systems can also utilize “natural” chemical reactions between carbonate rich rocks and acidic waters.
