The printable ebook, Minesite Drainage Chemistry: An Introduction, contains basic explanations and examples of mining and minesite-drainage chemistry. This book contains 50 pages of text and graphics, plus dozens of colour photographs.
-------------------------------------
Environmental Geochemistry of Minesite Drainage: Practical Theory and Case Studies (paper and digital versions) is a guidebook, reference book, and textbook containing over 350 pages of practical theory and case studies for assessing, predicting, and controlling drainage chemistry at minesites. This book has now been sold to more than 20 countries worldwide!
-------------------------------------
Minesite Drainage Chemistry: Issues and Problems is a book discussing selected topics that are poorly understood and sources of errors in drainage chemistry. This book is not yet available.

Minesite drainage has been studied for more than a century. Our library catalogue contains more than 2000 papers on minesite drainage and related topics back to 1907. Of course, we also included Agricola's work from 1556!-------------------------------------
MDAG Grain 3.0 - a free-of-charge spreadsheet for calculating the geometric surface areas of grains within a sample, based on sieve analyses. This is useful in determining, for example, grain-surface-area dependencies of kinetic reaction rates, as discussed in Environmental Geochemistry of Minesite Drainage: Practical Theory and Case Studies and used in the International Kinetic Database.
-------------------------------------
International Kinetic Database (IKD) - a database of summary parameters for many hundreds of kinetic tests (humidity cells, columns, and Minewall stations) from nearly 100 minesites around the world.
