Mining operations generate large amounts of wastes which are usually stored into large-
scale storage facilities which pose major environmental concerns and must be properly …

Large amounts of waste rock are produced during mining operations and often disposed of
in large piles. Particle size segregation usually occurs during waste rock disposal, which can …

Large volumes of waste rock are produced during mining operations and are often disposed
of in large piles on the surface. Segregation caused by particle sizes and deposition …

Globally, drainage from sulfide‐bearing waste‐rock piles, containing high concentrations of
toxic metal (loid) s, can severely degrade surrounding ecosystems. Waste‐rock piles are …

Prediction of drainage quantity and quality is critical to reduce the environmental risks
associated with weathering mine waste rock. Reactive transport models can be effective …

Waste rock segregation and heterogeneity can increase the hydrogeotechnical and
geochemical instability of waste rock piles, but characterising segregation quantitatively in …

Social and environmental consequences associated with sulfide-bearing mine wastes (ie,
waste rock and mill tailings) and acid mine drainage constitute growing threats to …

Study region The former uranium mine near Le Cellier, France represents an opportunity to
investigate unsaturated flow in real conditions through a tailings pile resulting from heap …

Abstract The Diavik Waste Rock Project (DWRP) project included four principal components
focused on the development of techniques for assessing the environmental impacts of waste …

Résumé L'activité minière génère d'importantes quantités de rejets durant le processus
d'extraction et de concentration des métaux. D'une part, les roches peu ou pas minéralisées …
