Acid mine/rock drainage (AMD/ARD), effluents with low pH and high concentrations of
hazardous and toxic elements generated when sulfide-rich wastes are exposed to the …

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 …

Tailings generated during processing of sulfide ores represent a substantial risk to water
resources. The oxidation of sulfide minerals within tailings deposits can generate low-quality …

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 …

Acid rock drainage (ARD) prediction is a very important issue in order to predict and prevent
environmental pollution associated with mining activities. Nowadays, simple tests are widely …

Sulphidic mine tailings are among the largest mining wastes on Earth and are prone to
produce acid mine drainage (AMD). The formation of AMD is a sequence of complex …

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 …

Acid sulfate waters are produced mostly by the oxidation of common sulfide minerals such
as pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and marcasite in rocks, soils, sediments, and industrial …

Groundwater Geochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications to Contamination examines the
integral role geochemistry play s in groundwater monitoring and remediation programs, and …

A comparative geochemical, mineralogical, and microbiological study of three mine tailings
impoundments from the La Andina, El Teniente, and El Salvador porphyry copper deposits …
