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 …

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 …
