Medium and highly sulfidic tailings are high-volume wastes that can lead to severe
environmental damage if not properly managed. Due to the high content of sulfide minerals …

Diffuse metal pollution from mining impacted sediment is widely recognised as a potential
source of contamination to river systems and may significantly hinder the achievement of …

Environmental context. Determining associations between trace metals and nanoparticles in
contaminated systems is important in order to make decisions regarding remediation. This …

Monitoring soil pollution is a key aspect in sustainable management of contaminated land
but there is often debate over what should be monitored to assess ecological risk. Soil pore …

The establishment of new buffer zone in the mine areas lacks the basis of theoretical model.
As a case study, this study presents the partition model of new buffer zone in a small-scale …

An area affected by the long-term weathering of sphalerite-bearing mine wastes was studied
in order to assess the environmental fate and behaviour of different toxic elements occurring …

One of the main sources of non-ferrous and precious metals is sulfide ores. This paper
presents a review of the existing literature on the electrochemical properties of some of the …

This study focused on assessing the release potential of various metals and a metalloid
(arsenic; As) leached from gold mine tailings under three different degrees of acidity (pH 2, 4 …

Managing reservoir sediments remains challenging due to their propensity to significantly
sequestrate trace elements. Moreover, many artificial reservoirs were located downstream of …

Purpose Diffuse pollution emanating from metal mining-impacted sediment could serve as a
barrier to achieving European Union Water Framework Directive and US Clean Water Act …
