Highly saline or highly acidic water from coal-mining can introduce serious pollution to groundwater and adversely affect its quality. This impact may last a long time even after the mining activity has ceased. Identification of an appropriate remediation technique is critical for effective pollution control. However, due to complexity of considerations …
