Oxygenation of Ferrous Iron
drainage, these waters contain large quantities of iron and have low pH values. Fifty per cent of the acidity in acid mine drainage arises from the oxygenation of ferrous iron; the remainder arises from the oxygenation of sulfide or polysulfide. In many cases, the drainage from these mines contains appreciable quantities of ferrous iron
