Abstract Hemimorphite, Zn 4 Si 2 O 7 (OH) 2· H 2 O, one of the most common minerals in
non-sulfide Zn deposits, together with smithsonite and hydrozincite, is one of the most …

Biochar is a soil amendment capable of influencing plant growth and potentially toxic
elements (PTEs) bioavailability in soils. At the same time Eisenia fetida (Savigny) is able to …

The stable isotope composition of molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn) in mine wastes at the
Antamina Copper–Zn–Mo mine, Peru, was characterized to investigate whether isotopic …

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of Eisenia fetida (Savigny), added to an acidic
soil contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs; As, Sb, Cd, Pb, Zn) and amended …

Streams draining mined areas throughout the world commonly have high concentrations of
Zn. Because Zn is not easily removed from stream water and because it can be toxic to …

Several decades after the closure of the Ingurtosu mine (SW Sardinia), a variety of seasonal
Zn biomineralizations occurs. In this work, waters, microbial consortia, and seasonal …

It has been estimated that the acid mine drainage (AMD) impacted Odiel river basin in
southern Spain supplies 0.37% and 15% of the global riverine fluxes of Cd and Zn to the …

Hydrologic tracer techniques were applied to Rio Irvi (SW Sardinia), a stream affected by
mine drainage, allowing the calculation of stream discharge and metal loads and …

Microbes play a fundamental role in the precipitation of silicate biominerals, thereby
affecting the Si geochemical cycle. The fine mechanisms ruling biomineralization are not yet …

Understanding the resilience of microorganisms to extreme environments and geo-bio
interactions contributes to the worldwide challenge posed by abandoned mining wastes …
