Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are emerging as potential technologies that can remediate acid mine drainage (AMD) by cathodic reduction of sulfates to metal sulfides. This study evaluated bioelectrochemical remediation of sulfate rich AMD at two applied cathode potentials; BES-1: −1.0 V and BES-2:...
