In this study, the risk of environmental pollution by arsenic (As) and heavy metals from the
tailings of Co-Ni arsenide ores at the Khovu-Aksy mine site (Russia) has been systematically …

Particulate and dissolved metal (loid) release from mine tailings is of concern in (semi-) arid
environments where tailings can remain barren of vegetation for decades and, therefore …

Accumulated mine waste in certain locations in the abandoned mining district of Linares-La
Carolina (southern Spain) contain high levels of metals. Therefore, in recent years, many of …

Geochemical and geophysical investigations were performed in the area of the Komsomolsk
tailings impoundment. Gold ore tailings produced with cyanidation have been generated by …

Efficiency of Mn passive treatment from mine drainage (MD) is limited, in the presence of Fe,
because of the wide stability field of dissolved Mn (II) species. Physicochemical and …

Mining wastes containing sulfide minerals can generate contaminated waters as acid mine
drainage (AMD) and contaminated neutral drainage (CND). This occurs when such minerals …

The mining wastes coming from Sidi Kamber mine stored at the surface are exposed to
weathering conditions, which favour the leaching of toxic metals into the environment. This …

This paper addresses the mechanism of acid mine drainage generation in tailings from an
abandoned mine site and predicts the evolution of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) …

The need to explore more complex and low-grade silver ores and to develop novel and cost-
effective processes to recover silver from waste is becoming an important challenge. This …

22 Hard Rock Mine Reclamation and require more than what is recommended by the rule of
thumb. The proposed sampling strategy is shown in Figure 2.2, which illustrates that upon …
