Explain the process of acid drainage

Biology
1 answer:
Mice21 [21]3 years ago
3 0
Acid drainage, especially acid mine drainage is the process whereby water combines with the sulfide minerals like pyrite which is iron plus sulfur (high in sulfur) to produce sulfuric acid (iron plus sulfur plus oxygen so oxidation of the sulfide like pyrite is part of the process) which is deleterious to the environment so where mine waste contains pyrite then it must be isolated and neutralized with say limestone or submerged in water to prevent the development of sulfuric acid.

Explain in your own words why pH and temperature can affect enzyme function
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

pH - Each enzyme has an optimal pH at which it works best, if the pH is too acidic or basic, the enzyme will start to denature.

Temperature - Each enzyme has an optimal temperature at which it works best as well. If it is too hot, the enzyme will start to denature and if it is too cold, there will be fewer collisions between enzymes and substrates.
