- Abstract
Lime is one of the commonly used amendments for acidic soils. The reasonable application of lime can effectively improve the current status of acid tailings and reduce harm to the environment. In this study, we analyzed the pH alternation of acid tin tailing as a function of lime dose based on three methods—single titration method, K-bicarbonate titration method, and buffer curve method—to predict the accurate lime requirement (LR) in acid tin tailing treatments. Of these prediction methods, the buffer curve method was best suited for the prediction of lime dose, and the prediction values agreed with the experimental data by factors of 1.0‒1.4. Thus, we determined that the buffer curve method was more suitable for predicting the lime requirement of acid tailings. This study of acid tailings lime requirement provides scientific research for the subsequent modification of tailings.
