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 …

Pit lakes are one of the greatest legacies of open-cut mining. Despite the potential hazards
of these lakes, they represent newly formed ecosystems with great scientific and ecological …

Acidic pit lakes (APLs) emerge as reservoirs of acid mine drainage in flooded open-pit
mines, representing extreme ecosystems and environmental challenges worldwide. The …

Understanding long term water quality and ecological aspects of pit lakes is important in
understanding the risks and opportunities pit lakes present as mine closure legacies. Pit …

Acidic pit lakes represent hydrological features resulting from the accumulation of acid mine
drainage in mining operations. Long-term monitoring is essential for these extreme and …

This study investigated the geological conditions of Biga Peninsula. There are metamorphic
rocks, ophiolitic melange, plutonic rocks, subvolcanics, volcanic rocks and volcanoclastics …

Pit lakes (abandoned flooded mine pits) represent a potentially valuable water resource in
hot arid regions. However, pit lake water is often characterised by low pH with high …

The mineralogical transformations of Fe phases induced by an acid-tolerant, Fe (III)-and
sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfosporosinus sp. strain GBSRB4. 2 were evaluated under …

Production of H 2 S by bacterial sulphate reduction in the water column of Cueva de la Mora
pit lake (SW Spain) may favour an important self-mitigating capacity with respect to metal …

Assessment of water quality evolution in the thousands of existing and future mine pit lakes
worldwide requires new numerical tools that integrate geochemical, hydrological, and …
