SUBSURFACE SUBMERGENCE OF MINE WASTE MATERIALS AS A REMEDIATION STRATEGY TO REDUCE METAL MOBILITY: AN OVERVIEW
Karna, R.R. and G.M. Hettiarachchi. | Current Pollution Reports 4(1):35-48(2018)
This article provides an overview of the use of subsurface submergence to mitigate environmental impacts from abandoned mine waste materials. Case studies focus on the mining of Pb and Zn, including a recent study in the Tri-State mining district that adds a more comprehensive understanding of biogeochemical transformations of trace elements present in mine waste materials under long-term submergence.
