The reaction rate of sulphate removal from acid mine drainage using barium carbonate was studied for various pH, calcium concentration, and BaCO3/SO42 feed ratios in batch studies. Process synthesis concepts were used to investigate the interaction between the optimum regions for reactor operation and the experimental results. The effect of various process objectives on the optimal operating region were also investigated.
