Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for removing contaminants from an industrial fluid waste. The method comprises the steps of ozofractionating the industrial fluid waste, whereby contaminants are oxidised and a foam fractionate is formed; and separating at least a portion of the foam fractionate and any precipitate from the ozofractionated fluid.

A system for treating acid mine drainage, comprising:
- an ozofractionator adapted to receive and ozofractionate acid mine drainage under conditions determined from measured parameters of the acid mine drainage;
- a storage tank for receiving the ozofractionated acid mine drainage, whereby metal species that precipitated during ozofractionation are allowed to settle;
- and
- means for removing supernatant ozofractionated acid mine drainage from the storage tank and, if measured parameters of the supernatant ozofractionated acid mine drainage are within acceptable environmental limits, discharging the supernatant ozofractionated acid mine drainage.
