The oxidative dissolution of sulfidic minerals releases the extremely acidic leachate, sulfate
and potentially toxic elements eg, As, Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Th, U, Zn, etc. from …

Soil column experiments in both the saturated and unsaturated regimes are widely used for
applied and theoretical studies in such diverse fields as transport model evaluation, fate and …

Water is needed at mine sites for dust suppression, mineral processing, coal washing, and
hydrometallurgical extraction. For these applications, water is mined from surface water …

Disposal of untreated and treated mining wastes and tailings exerts a significant threat and
hazard for environmental contamination including groundwater, surface water, wetlands …

Acid mine drainage, produced from sulfur-containing mine waste exposed to air, water, and
bacteria, is considered as a serious environmental pollutant because of its extremely low pH …

The generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) remains a major environmental challenge for
the mining industry. The reclamation of old mine sites with pre-oxidized tailings is …

The efficiency of a monolayer cover to prevent acid mine drainage (AMD) generation from
two pre-oxidized tailings impoundments was assessed using the MIN3P code, a finite …

Geopolymers are aluminosilicate materials geosynthesized by alkaline activation of
aluminosilicate minerals and/or industrial byproducts. This study seeks to understand the …

The long-term influence of a shallow water cover limiting sulfide-mineral oxidation was
examined in tailings deposited near the end of operation in 1951 of the former Sherritt …

Artificial mine tailings/clay mixtures were used to prepare concentrated slurries, from which
beds with different composition, thickness and age were obtained through sedimentation …
