Research ArticleOpen accessPrediction and Remediation of Water Quality in Monitoring Potential of Acid Mine DrainageNur Athirah Mohamad Basir, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Nuur Hani Mohammed et al.Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) associated with both active and abandoned mining operations related to sulfide minerals, oxidation of pyrite affording an acidic solution that contains toxic metal ions. Result shows that pH value of water in Kg. Aur, Chini and Sg. Lembing are acidic with value of 2.81, 4.16 and 3.60 respectively. Maximum concentrations of heavy metals in the study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 24 May 2019 · 7,011 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessRemediation of Heavy Metals by using Industrial Waste by Products in Acid Mine DrainageNuur Hani Mohammed, Mustapha Atta, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacubAcid Mine Drainage (AMD) is one of the main important problems being combated today. Laboratory tank experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of industry waste to adsorb and control the mobilization of metals from contaminated acid mine water. The main physical conditions such as pH and treatment performance are displayed. The solution of acid mine were sampled from the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 18 Dec 2017 · 7,342 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessSteady State Groundwater Flow Modeling of an Ex-Landfill Site in Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaMustapha Atta, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Othman Bin JaafarEffective and rational management of groundwater resources require adequate information on the groundwater flow interactions with surface water and chemical species in the flow regime. The hydrologic conditions beneath the unlined ex- landfill site in Jinjang Kuala Lumpur were investigated to understand the groundwater flow and geochemical setting in which contaminants transport in the groundwater may occur in the ex-landfill. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 30 Oct 2015 · 8,092 accessesView PDF Cite
