Mine wastes pollute the environment with metals and metalloids in toxic concentrations,
causing problems for humans and wildlife. Microorganisms colonize and inhabit mine …

Sulfate-reducing bioreactors, also called biochemical reactors, represent a promising option
for passive treatment of mining-influenced water (MIW) based on similar technology to …

Environmental pollution associated with metal-contaminated waters discharging from
abandoned mine sites is a global issue. Remediation using passive systems, such as …

Globally, thousands of kilometres of rivers are degraded due to the presence of elevated
concentrations of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) sourced from historical metal mining …

Copper contamination of drinking water and marine areas is detrimental to human health
and the environment. Physical and chemical approaches currently used for copper removal …

Mine drainage from the St Louis Tunnel (located at the Rico-Argentine Site) is circumneutral
most of the year, with spring freshets increasing flow, decreasing pH and increasing metals …

In compost bioreactor systems, a commonly deployed technology at passive mine water
treatment sites, metals accumulate in the treatment system substrate. Ultimately, this …

Point and diffuse pollution from metal mining has led to severe environmental damage
worldwide. Mine drainage is a significant problem for riverine ecosystems, it is commonly …

This is the second of three papers dealing with metal-bearing circumneutral mine drainage
from the inactive Rico-Argentine mine site located at an elevation of≈ 2740 m (9000 feet) in …

Human communities need water and mineral resources, the supply of which requires the
implementation of recycling and saving strategies. Both closed and active mining sites could …
