Geophysical methods based on electrical properties can be used to study tailings ponds
studies because a site's spatial and temporal subsurface electrical resistivity values vary …

With increasing metal prices and declining ore grades, new mines are getting larger and
mine waste disposal and management have become more difficult, particularly from an …

Purpose This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of using three aquatic
macrophytes, Phragmites australis, Juncus effusus and Iris pseudacorus, to phytoextract …

Purpose Mining activities generate large amounts of wastes that may contain potentially
toxic elements (PTE), which, if released into the environment, may cause air, water and soil …

Mining activities are essential to our society, but ore extraction and treatment produce waste
that must be stored in safe places without harm to the environment. For a long time, seafloor …

Portmán Bay in Southern Spain is one of the most extreme cases in Europe of
anthropogenic impact on the marine ecosystem by the disposal of mine tailings resulting …

This work presents a methodology to assess the environmental potential risk of soils when
submitted to different conditions. The potentially toxic element (PTE) behaviour was …

Purpose The present study deals with the geochemical fractions of Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu and As
present on profiles using chemical simple extraction process. This work was conducted on …

Old mining districts have created numerous subsurface cavities, often at shallow depths. The
resulting subsidence risk is a major territorial planning problem, especially when these …
