	In South Africa we have this Acid Decanting Mines discharging sulfuric acid (and other stuff ) , sometimes at a pH of 2, My question is :- What electrodes can be used to act as a low voltage battery, Deposit some of the metals and neutralize the acid without resulting in toxic material? __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto

	Battery electrolyte production? Other commercial lab reagents? Or give it freebie to Greenpeace, so they can gripe about acid rain? __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.
