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

Sorption of heavy metals plays a vital role in controlling environmental pollution. Here, we
reviewed the sorption of heavy metals such as Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, V, Pb, Hg, In, As, Cd, Cr, Ga …

The environmental sustainability of acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment at semi-industrial
scale is examined by means of the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. An integrated …

As the decarbonisation of heating and cooling becomes a matter of critical importance, it has
been shown that flooded mines can provide a reliable source of low-carbon thermal energy …

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

Abstract The idea of Deep Geothermal Single Well (DGSW) heat production has existed for
many years, but with no consensus regarding its potential applicability: proponents have …

Lead and zinc mines are a primary source of environmental (post)-transition metal
contamination resulting in major water pollution. In this study, the use of biochar amended …

During the last decades, technologies for agricultural drainage water remediation had been
widely explored to oppose the arising intimidation of their pollutants on health, biotas and …

Bioreactors have proven capabilities to facilitate the biometallurgical extraction of important
major and trace metal commodities, even from low-grade mineral ores and mine wastes …

Circumneutral mine waters where the principal contaminants are Zn with lesser
concentrations of other contaminants (such as Fe, Mn, As, Cd, Pb, Cu) are common across …
