Groundwater is an extremely valuable freshwater resource for drinking and agricultural use,
and its value is increasing with global population growth. One of the potential threats to its …

Mining operations generate large amounts of wastes which are usually stored into large-
scale storage facilities which pose major environmental concerns and must be properly …

Coal has been a major global resource for at least the past 250 years. The major waste
product of coal mining is waste rock, which is stored in dumps of various sizes. Although the …

Stockpiles containing sulfide minerals are subject to oxidation reactions when exposed to
atmospheric conditions, which can result in the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) …

Management of mill tailings is an important part of mining operations that aims at preventing
environmental dispersion of contaminants of concern. To this end, geochemical models and …

Globally, drainage from sulfide‐bearing waste‐rock piles, containing high concentrations of
toxic metal (loid) s, can severely degrade surrounding ecosystems. Waste‐rock piles are …

Understanding the complicated fluid dynamics and geochemistry coupling behaviors is the
key to enhance CO 2 storage efficiency and minimize the risks of leakage and mechanical …

The fundamental understanding of hydrogeochemical processes leading to toxic drainage in
mining environments is of utmost importance to predict the impact of mining activities in …

Aqueous thiolated arsenic (As) species play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling
