Abstract: Globally, mine drainage is a persistent environmental problem facing the mining industry. This review covers the literature published in 2013 on topics relating to acid mine drainage (AMD) or acid rock drainage (ARD) due to the presence of sulfide bearing minerals in active and abandoned coal/hard rock mining sites or waste spoil piles. This review is divided into the four sections: 1) mine drainage characterization, 2) mine drainage treatment 3) modeling and simulation, and 4) environmental aspect. Many papers presented in this review address more than one important topic and different sections presented in this review should not be regarded as being mutually‐exclusive or all‐inclusive.
