Abstract
The paper deals with the applicability and comparison of
potential international methods available for the
determination of the acid production and neutralization
potential in sulphidic waste. A driver for such work is
the mining waste directive and recently started
standardization work under CEN/TC 292 Characterization of
waste. A method for the determination of net
neutralization potential in extractive waste is to be
standardized. Here the results from two different methods
for the determination of neutralization potential for
five extractive waste samples are shown. Apparently the
results gained with different tests even within same
pH-range can differ markedly from each other.
