 This review provides a comprehensive understanding of recent advances in the elimination of acid mine drainage, AMD, which is a significant threat to the environment due to its high acidity and metal ion content. While treatment technologies have developed to eliminate AMD, they often produce sludge as a byproduct and require expensive maintenance. As a cost-effective alternative, the recovery of AMD resources can reduce toxicity and promote reuse of heavy metals and rare earth elements. The review also analyzes the challenges and prospects of AMD mitigation implementation, including current mitigation conditions and knowledge gaps.
