The transition to a low-carbon economy will be material-intensive. Production of these
materials (from mining to manufacturing) incurs environmental costs that vary widely …

Acid rock drainage (ARD) prediction is a very important issue in order to predict and prevent
environmental pollution associated with mining activities. Nowadays, simple tests are widely …

The continuous and growing demand for phosphate, especially by the fertilizer industry, has
increased the exploitation rate of high-grade phosphate ores extracted from phosphate …

The application of mineralogical characterization to mine waste has the potential to improve
risk assessment, guide appropriate mine planning for planned and active mines and …

Failure to accurately predict acid rock drainage (ARD) leads to long-term impacts on
ecosystems and human health, in addition to substantial financial consequences and …

Mismanagement of mine waste rock can mobilize acidity, metal (loid) s, and other
contaminants, and thereby negatively affect downstream environments. Hence, strategic …

The oxidative dissolution of sulfidic minerals releases the extremely acidic leachate, sulfate
and potentially toxic elements eg, As, Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Th, U, Zn, etc. from …

Mine tailings exposed to water and oxygen generate acid mine drainage (AMD) when the
neutralizing minerals are insufficient to buffer the acid produced by sulfide oxidation. Mineral …

Spodumene is currently the main source of lithium (Li), and Li release in mine waters stands
out as a common feature of the otherwise scarcely studied spodumene mine tailings. In …

As a result of developing technology and scientific studies, employing dam tailings as critical
raw material and vital economic reserve has become widespread recently. Employing dam …
