Mining of solid minerals in Nigeria has been taking place since the beginning of the last
century, and being a developing country with a characteristic lack of proper waste …

Drains from coal mines remain a worrisome point-source of toxic metal/metalloid pollutions
to the surface-and ground-waters worldwide, requiring sustainable remediation strategies …

The remnant floral diversity of a naturally reclaimed area proximal to an abandoned mine
was assessed. The coal mine site, the Incident zone (IZ) and an unsullied site, the Control …

Water sources in mining areas do not retain their natural quality due to the influence of mine
drainage. Water quality test was through hydrochemical analysis, speciation modeling, and …

In this study, the chemical composition of water and soils contiguous to two abandoned coal
mines in southeastern Nigeria, was assessed to evaluate the impact of water flow from the …

This research assessed the physicochemical parameters of water and soil samples in the
vicinity of Owukpa Coal Mine, Benue State Nigeria. Surface water samples were obtained …

Aim The concentration levels of selected trace metals in coal samples collected from three
different locations, namely Okaba coal deposit Kogi State, Onyeama coal deposit and …

The research examined how acidity and pH levels influence the distribution of heavy metals
in water sources near the Afuze, Odagbo, and Owukpa coal mines. A total of 38 water …

The study aims to understand the element deportment's geochemical characteristics from
the source, pathway and receptor realm in the Riet-Olifants catchment (ROC) drainage …

The physicochemical characterization of coal samples from deposits provides mineral
distribution and composition data for utilization by scientists and policy makers. The …
