Uranium, a cornerstone for nuclear energy, facilitates a clean and efficient energy
conversion. In the era of global clean energy initiatives, uranium resources have emerged …

The rupture of mine-tailings dams can severely contaminate rivers, because released
tailings can interact with water for years keeping contaminant concentrations high. The …

Soil and stream sediment contamination from abandoned artisanal mines is of prime
importance due to the associated potential for heavy metal and metalloid contamination …

This study aimed to determine the reliability of the double-clustering method to understand
the spatial association and distribution of major and minor constituents in the groundwater of …

A growing demand exists on the monitoring of both uranium mining activities and their
environmental impacts. In order to help understanding and modelling both these aspects, a …

Актуальность исследования заключается в получении первых изотопно-геохимических
данных о природных водах и вмещающих горных породах Новобибеевского …

Integrated recycling of solid waste containing heavy metals is a critical environmental
challenge. In this study, a green solution to reduce heavy metal leaching from solid waste is …

The development of uranium mines has been necessary to obtain abundant and scarce
uranium resources, but they also bring inevitable radioactive contamination to the …

This work focuses on the study of water–sediment interaction around abandoned uranium
mines with open-pit lakes and mine dumps. Nineteen water and eleven stream sediment …

Geochemical behaviors of heavy metals are closely related to their chemical state that can
be divided by sequential extraction into exchangeable (F1), bound to carbonates (F2) …
