Neuware - Acid Mine Drainage: Sustainable Mining Practices for Mitigating Environmental Impact provides an in-depth analysis of acid mine drainage (AMD) and its profound effects on ecosystems and communities surrounding mining operations. The book begins by explaining the nature of AMD, including its formation, environmental and socioeconomic impacts, and methods for predicting and monitoring its occurrence. It emphasizes the importance of effective sampling techniques and the use of predictive modeling tools to understand and manage AMD risks. The text explores both conventional and non-conventional mitigation strategies, detailing active and passive treatment methods, including innovative biotechnological approaches and ecosystem-based solutions. It also highlights case studies that showcase successful AMD management practices while addressing the challenges faced in high-impact regions. Finally, the book discusses future directions for sustainable mining practices, emphasizing the need for collaborative resilience and the adoption of innovative solutions to close existing gaps in AMD management.This comprehensive overview serves as an essential resource for researchers and industry professionals committed to reducing the environmental impact of mining activities while promoting sustainable resource management.…

About the Author
Athanas S. Macheyeki is a Professor of Geology at the University of Dodoma. He previously served as Commissioner of the Minerals Commission of Tanzania, Executive Secretary of the Tanzania Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, Manager of Applied Geology at the Geological Survey of Tanzania and Principal of the Mineral Resources Institute in Dodoma. He is the Founder of Earth Sciences Institute of Shinyanga. Prior to his service in the Government of Tanzania, he worked as a Mineral Exploration Geologist with Anglo American Tanzania. He holds a BSc (University of Dar Es Salaam), MSc (University of the Western Cape), and PhD (Ghent University). He developed lithogeochemical ratios for the exploration of Ni–Cu sulphide deposits, including indices such as Pd/V × 1000 (Macheyeki, 2011). He has authored and co-authored more than 30 scholarly publications, including journal articles, geological maps, book chapters, and books, notably Applied Geochemistry (Macheyeki et al., 2020) and The East African Rift System (Macheyeki and Kafumu, 2024).
Noel Isack Kaaya is a chemist and Chemical Inspector at the Government Chemist Laboratory Authority in Tanzania. His work involves the laboratory analysis of environmental samples from mining sites and industrial areas to ensure compliance with regulatory standards for human health and environmental protection. As a Chemical Inspector, he oversees the production, use, and marketing of chemicals to prevent adverse health and environmental impacts. His routine inspections of chemical use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sites have motivated his interest in environmental geochemistry. As part of his master's dissertation, he researched the geochemical characteristics of ASGM tailings and their associated ecological and health risks. Part of this work is published in the Journal of Trace Elements and Minerals (Kaaya et al., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtemin.2025.100222). He holds a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Dar es Salaam and an MSc in Chemistry from the University of Dodoma.
Mathias Macheyeki is a cybersecurity and digital forensics engineer and a full-stack software developer, graduate of the University of Dodoma. He is the co-author of Morphostructural study on the Eyasi–Durumo–Manyara faults - East African Rift System (Macheyeki and Macheyeki, 2025). He is the founder of TEYORA - a technology startup firm focused on cybersecurity, digital forensics, and software development. He has experience in building secure, practical, and user-centred digital systems, web and mobile developer and security specialist focusing on vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, secure code reviews and incident response activities. His areas of competence also include web and mobile application development, network security and digital forensics focusing on reliability and real-world usability. Mathias has collaborated with technical institutions including the Earth Science Institute of Shinyanga to design and implement a secure Student Records Management System, the Geological Survey of Tanzania to maintain systems, software installations, and technical troubleshooting.
