Growing social awareness of the need to adequately treat mining waste in order to protect
the environment has led to an increase in the research in this field. The aim of this study was …

Alkaline wastes have been the focus of many studies as they act as CO 2 sinks and have the
potential to offset emissions from mining and steelmaking industries. Passive carbonation of …

Microorganisms inhabiting mine tailings require specific metabolic strategies to survive,
which may hold potential for pollution clean up. Effective in situ bioremediation will rely on …

Bauxite residue, a highly alkaline solid waste, is extremely hazardous to the surrounding
environment and current research approaches have largely focused on the removal and …

The prevalent pH rebound phenomenon in the bauxite residue alkalinity regulation is
primarily caused by the presence of alkaline minerals, including sodalite and cancrinite …

The mining industry has historically served as a critical reservoir of essential raw materials
driving global economic progress. Nevertheless, the consequential by-product known as …

The hazardous red mud (RM) with high As/F mobility and heavy metal contaminated soil
have constituted severe environmental threats. This work demonstrates a “waste to eco …

Mining and mineral processing industries have generated a large amount of polymineral
wastes, causing the destruction and degradation of huge areas of landscapes at extensive …

Red mud is the alkaline and high-volume residue produced from alumina extraction from
bauxite ores. Its disposal in purpose-built areas occupies a large amount of land and poses …

During the chemical weathering of the uranium mill tailings, released uranium could be
immobilized by the newly formed secondary minerals such as oxyhydroxides. A deeper …
