This review analyses the fundamental thermodynamic theory of the crude oil-brine-rock
(COBR) interface and the underlying rock-brine and oil-brine interactions. The available …

The mining and ore processing of sulfide-bearing deposits generates large volumes of
waste rock (WR) and tailings, which often contain barren and residual iron sulfides (eg …

Abstract Models test our understanding of processes and can reach beyond the spatial and
temporal scales of measurements. Multi-component Reactive Transport Models (RTMs) …

Hydrology is a relatively young science, which has developed gradually out of the hydraulic
expedients which underpin much of civil engineering practice. Indeed, the emergence of …

The oxidation of sulfide minerals in waste rock has the potential to generate low-quality
drainage that can present a significant challenge to mine owners, regulators, and other …

Heavy metal-bearing waste usually needs solidification/stabilization (s/s) prior to landfill to
lower the leaching rate. Cement is the most adaptable binder currently available for the …

In order to evaluate the importance of hydrologic processes in controlling chemical
weathering rates, a reactive transport analysis is used to interpret chemical weathering rate …

Reactive transport modeling is an essential tool for the analysis of coupled physical,
chemical, and biological processes in Earth systems, and has additional potential to better …

The scale‐dependence of geochemical reaction rates hinders their use in continuum scale
models intended for the interpretation and prediction of chemical fate and transport in …

Mismanagement of mine waste rock can mobilize acidity, metal (loid) s, and other
contaminants, and thereby negatively affect downstream environments. Hence, strategic …
