The oxidation of sulfide minerals in waste rock has the potential to generate low-quality
drainage that can present a significant challenge to mine owners, regulators, and other …

Consequent to the escalations in global energy consumption, the biomass-to-fuel processes
are increasingly becoming important areas to the energy industry and policy makers. In this …

Soil moisture is a critical component of the earth system and plays an integrative role among
the various subfields of physical geography. This paper highlights not just how soil moisture …

The weathering of mine waste rock can cause release of metal-laden and acidic drainage
that requires long-term and costly environmental management. To identify and quantify the …

Large amounts of waste rock are produced during mining operations and often disposed of
in large piles. Particle size segregation usually occurs during waste rock disposal, which can …

A field experiment is being carried out at the Diavik diamond mine in northern Canada to
investigate the influence of unsaturated flow behavior on the quality of drainage from mine …

Bacteria can adversely affect the quality of drainage released from mine waste by catalyzing
the oxidation of sulfide minerals and thereby accelerating the release of acidity and metals …

The physicochemical processes that affect acid mine drainage (AMD) in unsaturated waste
rock piles and the capabilities of small-scale laboratory experiments to predict AMD from …

Understanding the behaviour of fluid flow through packed ore/rock beds is essential for
estimating metal extraction from low-grade ores via dump leaching as well as the release of …

Prediction of drainage quantity and quality is critical to reduce the environmental risks
associated with weathering mine waste rock. Reactive transport models can be effective …
