Acid vs Lime
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Northern Manitoba | | City: | Flin Flon, MB | | School: | Ruth Betts School | | Abstract: | The objects of my study/experiment are limestone and mine-developed acid. The project studies interaction between “acid” and “lime”. The results showed that there is a high level of acidity in the mining area, and that limestone is a natural and organic method to reduce acid. The project advocates for people’s purposeful involvement and activities involving spreading limestone that should reproduce vegetation in the mining communities. |
