Program helps fight against AMD

摘要

ANSTO chemists, physicists, applied mathematicians and computer experts have combined forces to come up with a state-of-the-art modeling tool that can be used to combat acid mine drainage (AMD), a problem that costs the mining industry 1 billion dollars a year globally.The recently launched computer program known as SULFIDOX is the culmination of more than 20 years of research into AMD performed by ANSTO scientists at more than 25 mine sites across four continents.
