Abstract
The effectiveness of remediation of the highly acidic and transition metal polluted mine water discharge from the Wheal
Jane Mine by the Wheal Jane Passive Treatment Plant is described. The success of the remediation required that all the system
components work as predicted. The study shows considerable success in the removal of key toxic metals and clearly
demonstrates the potential for natural attenuation of acid mine drainage, particularly iron oxidation, by microbial populations.
The Wheal Jane Passive Treatment Plant provides the only experimental facility of its kind.
