Caused by the oxidative dissolution of sulfide minerals, mine waters are often acidic and
contaminated with high concentrations of sulfates, metals, and metalloids. Because the so …

More than 70 microbiological studies of sulfidic mine dumps and heaps have been
published. The microbiology and the relevant biogeochemical processes in the dumps and …

Oxidation of iron sulfides in waste rock dumps and tailings deposits may result in formation
of acid rock drainage (ARD), which often is a challenging problem at mine sites. Therefore …

Increased metal mining in the Arctic region has caused elevated loads of arsenic (As),
antimony (Sb), nickel (Ni), and sulfate (SO 4 2−) to recipient surface or groundwater systems …

The microbial communities of three different sulfidic and acidic mine waste tailing dumps
located in Botswana, Germany, and Sweden were quantitatively analyzed using quantitative …

Using alternative materials such as residual products from other industries to mitigate the
negative effects of acid rock drainage would simultaneously solve two environmental …

Tailings are one of the major categories of industrial waste, the disposal of which is
problematic from an environmental viewpoint. The weathering of sulfide bearing waste …

Abstract Lignite (PK), bituminous (FI) and biomass (SE) fly ashes (FAs) were mineralogically
and geochemically characterised, and their element leachability was studied with batch …
