ABSTRACT - Investigations of the metal recovery process from the sludge formed during the neutralization of acid mine drainage (AMD) water at pH 8 were performed at the laboratory level. The metal recovery process included the following technological phases: sludge leaching, solvent extraction (SX) of pregnant leaching solution in order to selectively separate copper from the leaching solution, and obtaining zinc-based products from the solution after the SX process. Preliminary results indicate a high degree of separation of copper (about 91%) and zinc (about 98%) from sludge.
