Contamination of aquatic environments as a consequence of deep metal mining for Pb, Zn,
Cu, Cd, and Fe is of widespread international concern. Pollution resulting from metal mining …

A predictive understanding of the source-specific (eg, point and diffuse sources) land-to-river
heavy metal (HM) loads and HM dynamics in rivers is essential for mitigating river pollution …

This work examines the potential for resource recovery and/or remediation of metalliferous
mine wastes in the south west of England and Wales. It does this through an assessment of …

Data are presented which evaluate the performance of a pilot-scale treatment system using
pelletised hydrous ferric oxide (HFO; a waste stream from coal mine water treatment) as a …

This study demonstrates substantial removal of iron (Fe) from acid mine drainage (pH≈ 3) in
a passive vertical flow reactor (VFR) with an equivalent footprint of 154 m2 per L/s mine …

This study evaluated the contribution of soil dust deposited on the surface of reed canary
grass (Phalaris arundinacea) grown on historic lead (Pb) mine sites to the overall …

Abstract The Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site (DVMWHS) exemplifies and records
the 18th century birth of the factory or mill technology for the industrial spinning of cotton …

Contemporary global metal mining is a source of environmental pollution, but in Britain it is
our historic mining industry that has left a legacy of contamination in the landscape, around …

This paper presents the results of a laboratory-scale dosing experiment to test the efficacy of
four low-cost/alternative reagents to removed dissolved Zn, Cd, and Pb from contaminated …

Historic mining tailings and spoil are typically too physically, chemically and biologically
deficient for spontaneous vegetation regrowth, allowing for the redistribution of …
