It can therefore be argued that our understanding of unsaturated zone hydrogeology and geochemistry within the waste rock mass is therefore (in comparison) biased more towards theory and standardised conceptual models rather than practical ...
(a) acid mine drainage fromunprocessed waste and host rock, mine or pit walls, tailings, tailings storage facilities, and dust; (b) pollution from chemicals used inprocessing ore, (c) pollution from fuels, oils, greases and...
Al proceed more rapidly and completely at open cast mines where mine waste has a higher reactive surface area compared to waste rock at underground mines...

Parent geology, mining operation, construction practice and weathering processes govern the hydrogeological behaviour of waste rock piles. Variable heterog...
Although mining is no longer a key industry in the UK, the international mining industry continues to expand. One of the principal legacies of past mining in Britain is water pollution emanating from abandoned mine voids and waste rock d...
Bioleaching of metal sulfides is caused by astonishingly diverse groups of bacteria. Today, at least 11 putative prokaryotic divisions can be related to th...

The dissolution of sulfide minerals such as pyrite (FeS 2 ), arsenopyrite (FeAsS), chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ), sphalerite (ZnS), and marcasite (FeS 2 ) yields...
Acidic, metal-rich waters generated by the microbially accelerated dissolution of pyrite and other sulfide minerals, are frequently encountered in derelict...
Sulfide oxidation, part of sulfur's biotic/abiotic cycle, is an important natural phenomenon. However, because of the sulfide's association with metallic o...
A generalized formulation for kinetically controlled reactions has been developed and incorporated into a multicomponent reactive transport model to facili...
Comparison between mineral weathering rates determined in the laboratory and in the field commonly shows large discrepancies, with order(s)-of-magnitude lo...
The ability of the soil cover system at the Equity Silver Mine to limit oxygen and water fluxes to underlying waste rock was evaluated using a detailed ins...

The development of water quality predictions for seepage from mine waste facilities is an integral component of the environmental assessment of minesites. Direct scaling of geochemical loads measured by laboratory kinetic tests such as h...
The weathering of mine waste rock can cause release of metal-laden and acidic drainage that requires long-term and costly environmental management. To iden...
Waste rock piles producing acid mine drainage (AMD) are partially saturated systems involving multiphase (gas and liquid) flow and coupled transfer process...
The role of iron-oxidizing bacteria in the natural systems such as dumping sites of sulfidic waste from extractive industries or abandoned mines still rais...
Drainage chemistries from unsaturated waste rock are affected by a number of hydrological, geochemical and microbiological processes. These processes are g...
