Abstract:
A process for reducing the volume of a collection of acid producing mine waste material is disclosed. The process comprises: contacting a mine waste material with water under oxidative conditions to produce a mineral containing acidic water and mineral and/or sulphide depleted mine waste material; separating the mineral containing acidic water and mineral and/or sulphide depleted mine waste material; treating the mineral containing acidic water to remove one or more minerals therefrom and provide treated water; and further contacting the mine waste material and/or the mineral and/or sulphide depleted mine waste material with the treated water and carrying out the steps one or more times until a total volume of the mineral and/or sulphide depleted mine waste material is less than a total volume of the starting acid producing mine waste material. Also disclosed is a process for converting acid producing mine waste material to a more environmentally acceptable substantially non-acid producing mine waste material.

Claim (Index 14):
The process of  claim 13 , wherein the treatment waste material is formed into a heap and water and acidic water applied to the top of the heap.
