Abstract The Baia Sprie epithermal system, a well-known deposit for its impressive
mineralogical associations, shows the proper conditions for acid mine drainage and can be …

Rare earth elements (REE) were used to assess attenuation processes in a passive system
for acid mine drainage treatment (Jales, Portugal). Hydrochemical parameters and REE …

Passive abiotic treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) was investigated using phosphate
mining residuals (raw low-grade phosphate ore, phosphatic limestone wastes, and …

The present study is focused on a water reservoir that is under the influence of AMD in the
historic mining area of Riotinto (SW Spain). Transport of particulate matter and chemical …

This contribution investigates the natural attenuation of arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) in
highly contaminated soils at the abandoned Sb-deposit Poproč in eastern Slovakia. The …

From the colonial era to modern times, gold mining has played a crucial role in shaping
Brazil's economy, culture, and landscape, particularly in the Iron Quadrangle region …

Mining mineral ores like pyrrhotite often generates positive and negative outcomes for the
community. On the one hand these valuable minerals are explored to provide economic …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the main environmental problems associated with
mining activity, whether the mine is operational or abandoned. In this work, several …

Abstract The Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), in the southwest of Europe, is characterized by high
levels of contamination by acid mine drainage (AMD) in a large extent of its river network. In …
